Lead Software Engineer

Who we are:

PB Computer Services is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager.

The role:

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. The Lead Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Our team is spread across 12 countries. Headquarters is in Canberra. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Brazil, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

Day to day:

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

What we're looking for:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

Benefits:

Compensation: R$32,000 - R$36,000 monthly

• Public holidays observed per your country.
• 24 days paid time off.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• Performance bonus.
• Annual team retreat.
• Company laptop.

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.

Start: Flexible.
