Join one of Australia’s fastest-growing digital companies, backed by over $200M in funding and on the path to unicorn status. With a proven customer model already serving thousands of users, this business is scaling globally and doubling down on product, platform, and AI innovation.

As they transition from Series C to D, the engineering team is expanding rapidly and they’re investing heavily in building a world-class platform at scale.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll sit at the same level as Engineering Managers – but instead of line management, you’ll play a pivotal role in technical strategy, system design, and hands-on coding. You’ll work across the platform, helping leadership anticipate scaling challenges, mentoring engineers, and ensuring technical excellence as the team grows.

What you’ll do

  • Drive architecture and system design decisions across the platform
  • Stay hands-on with Golang (or similar), GraphQL, microservices, Protobuf/gRPC
  • Anticipate challenges over the next 6, 12, 18 months and shape solutions
  • Mentor engineers and help maintain a high technical bar
  • Improve productivity, scalability, and developer experience at pace

About you

  • Senior Software Engineer ready to step into Staff-level influence
  • Technical Lead or hands-on Engineering Manager looking for a leadership path without line management
  • Staff or Principal Engineer seeking a high-growth HealthTech challenge
  • Strong software engineering background with long tenure in past roles (you’ve lived with the outcomes of your decisions)
  • Experience scaling systems in a fast-growth environment
  • You may currently be a:

Why this role is different Unlike traditional Staff Engineer roles tied to a single product, this position has visibility across the whole platform. You’ll be solving scaling challenges across microservices, data pipelines, mobile engagement, and emerging AI-powered developer tooling. Some current areas of focus include:

  • Evolving a microservices ecosystem (40+ services and growing)
  • Building integrations with wearables and other health devices
  • Improving real-time engagement: live updates, offline modes, interactive plans
  • Leveraging AI to boost developer productivity and observability
  • Balancing rapid delivery with long-term technical decision-making

This is your chance to work on meaningful products at global scale, partner with senior leadership, and tackle technical problems that impact millions of users.
