Head of Engineering

About the company:

Since 2013, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing. More than 780 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Core hours are 10 to 3, and the rest of the day is flexible.

Looking for a Head of Engineering who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana

Who you are:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Desirable:

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform

Benefits:

Salary range: $265,000 - $340,000 pa

• Superannuation on top of salary
• Paid parental leave
• Novated leasing
• Employee assistance program
