Tech Lead

Headquartered in Melbourne since 2012, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Southern Cross Systems employs 840 people across engineering hubs in Melbourne and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Overview:

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. We need another Tech Lead who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Key responsibilities:

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.

Minimum qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

Preferred:

• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
