Team Lead, Software Engineering - Remote

Team Lead, Software Engineering

Flexible Location | Hybrid | Full Time Experience Starts Here.

Ever shipped something and known that thousands of people in your community actually use it?

That’s the day job here. Attekus builds the software that powers local government, government, and education across Australia and New Zealand - the systems councils, agencies, and schools rely on every day. It’s meaningful work with a clear line from your keyboard to your community.

We’re looking for a Team Lead to run one of our engineering squads. This is a hands-on leadership role built for a senior engineer ready to take the step into leading people, while still doing the work you love, in C# and TypeScript. If you want the influence of a small company where your decisions actually shape the product, this is it.

What you’ll do

You’ll set the technical bar for your squad, through your own code, your reviews, and the standard you hold. You’ll own the day-to-day: capacity, delivery, and the growth of every engineer around you, running 1:1s that people look forward to rather than dread. And you’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product, Design, QA and customer success teams to turn ambiguous problems into software our customer's trust.

We’ll give you and your team the space to shape how the work gets done.  What matters most is good judgement, clear outcomes, strong collaboration, communication, and bringing people along with you.

You’ll thrive here if…

• You’re a genuinely senior engineer.  The kind teammates already turn to, with real impact on complex, enterprise-grade products.
• You’re strong and hands-on across full-stack delivery, ideally in C# and TypeScript.
• You’ve mentored engineers before, formally or not, and you get a kick out of watching people level up.
• You’re comfortable in a fast agile environment, working closely with Product, Design, and QA.
• You may not have managed people formally yet, that’s fine. This role is deliberately designed as a strong first step into leadership, with strong support around you.

Why Attekus

We’re a small R&D team, which means less politics and more ownership, your fingerprints will be all over the product. We’re confident in what we build, outgoing in how we work together, and a little obsessive about the details, because they matter to the communities we serve. You’ll have room to grow fast, a leader invested in your progression, and work that genuinely matters.

Join us, because here, you’re not just taking a job, you’re helping shape how communities across Australia and New Zealand connect, collaborate, and thrive.
