Hands-On Engineering Leader – SaaS | AI-Driven | Integrations | DDD | Reliability
Are you a tenacious, hands-on engineering leader ready to transform a high-impact platform for scale—powered by AI and driven by purpose?
Do you thrive in building resilient systems, mentoring dependable teams, and embedding AI where it matters most?
At GoodCompany, we believe technology—and now, AI—can accelerate social good. After a decade of meaningful growth, we’re focused on delivering a rock-solid, integration-rich platform, supercharged with AI, to serve the AU/NZ region with unmatched stability, intelligence, and impact.
About GoodCompany
We’re Australia and New Zealand’s leading social impact platform, helping organizations like Optus, Medibank, Mirvac, MYOB, and ANZ donate, volunteer, and fundraise at scale. To date, we’ve facilitated over $50 million in donations and 200,000 volunteer hours—and we’re just warming up.
Now, we’re entering a crucial phase: building AI-enhanced, enterprise-grade systems and seamless platform integrations—all backed by a stable, resilient engineering culture that can weather anything.
The Role: Engineering Leader & AI-Driven Architect
You’ll own the transformation of our SaaS platform, leading a small, growing team and building a dependable, intelligent technical foundation for long-term impact. This is not a high-flash, short-burn role—it’s about strategic refactoring, smart integration, and sustainable innovation. AI will be your accelerant, not your replacement.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Technical Leadership & Platform Maturity
Transform legacy systems into scalable, enterprise-ready infrastructure
Overhaul identity and multi-tenant architecture with best-in-class security
Drive DDD adoption to clarify complexity and enable faster innovation
Use AI to automate workflows, enhance search, boost system intelligence, and support smarter engineering
AI Integration & Enablement
Identify and embed AI across platform features (e.g., smart grant filtering, donor recommendations, chatbot assistance)
Use AI tools to accelerate development workflows (e.g., code suggestions, testing, documentation)
Help build an AI-first engineering culture focused on efficiency and experimentation
Keep up with emerging AI trends that support real business value (not hype)
Integrations That Matter
Lead platform integrations with HR, payroll, SSO, CRM, and third-party systems
Build robust APIs and connectors that enable seamless client experiences
Ensure our systems work well with others—because our clients demand it
Resilient Engineering Culture
Mentor a dependable, high-performing team with a focus on stability and accountability
Hire for grit, reliability, and team fit, not just technical brilliance
Create processes that support long-term sustainability over short-term heroics
DevOps & Delivery
Own and evolve our AWS & Kubernetes infrastructure
Rebuild CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Bamboo) to support faster, safer releases
Promote observability, test automation, and calm, continuous delivery
Stakeholder Engagement
Partner with CEO, product, and clients to align technology with business strategy
Support enterprise sales through architecture advice and integration leadership
Communicate technical priorities with clarity, confidence, and humility
Security & Compliance
Lead ISO27001-aligned security and compliance practices
Ensure robust IAM across our multi-tenant architecture
Maintain data integrity and privacy across AU/NZ compliance standards
What We’re Looking For
Your Core Qualities
Resilient & reliable – You thrive in ambiguity and stick with it when things get tough
Team-focused – You build others up and value long-term relationships
Dedicated & dependable – You finish what you start and take pride in the result
AI-curious & practical – You see AI as a tool to do more, better—not magic or menace
Mission-aligned – You care about using tech for meaningful impact
Your Experience
8+ years software engineering experience (5+ in leadership)
Proven success refactoring and scaling SaaS platforms
Deep .NET (C#), React/NextJS, TypeScript, and AWS expertise
Hands-on with DDD, multi-tenancy, and identity/security frameworks
Experience building CI/CD pipelines and managing DevOps
Experience applying AI in practical, product-enhancing ways
Why This Role Is Different
🧠 AI with purpose – Use artificial intelligence to solve real problems, not create them
🔗 Integration-first strategy – Help us play well with every tool our clients use
🛠️ Rebuild from the inside out – Own the transformation from tech debt to technical excellence
💪 Steady, not flashy – Build for the future, not next week
🇦🇺 AU/NZ mission focus – We’re here to lead locally, not chase global distractions
🤝 Trusted leadership team – Work alongside a passionate, strategic executive group that backs tech
🌱 Grow with us – Shape the team, the systems, and the future of a meaningful product
If you're ready to lead with resilience, build with purpose, and harness AI to power the next phase of social good—we’d love to hear from you.
