Job Description
Mable is recruiting an Engineering Team Lead for a new squad inside its platform team. The role is full-time and listed as remote. The lead is a technical leader who works with design, data and product colleagues to deliver robust, fit-for-purpose solutions for critical business flows. Mable is an Australian healthtech company connecting Australians living with disability and older adults to support workers.
The lead assists the product manager in keeping the backlog in order, offering technical input on priorities, splitting epics into evenly sized tasks, and sequencing delivery. The role tracks the team's delivery rhythm and works on raising its efficiency. It also champions modern engineering methods, such as test-driven development, pair programming and sensible branching, and teaches the squad about technology choices and software design.
Non-functional requirements are handled alongside infrastructure specialists, principal-level staff, engineering managers and quality coaches. The lead recommends DevOps practices, mentors colleagues and manages direct reports within one squad. The posting places the technical weight chiefly in API development and re-platforming work.
Candidates should have earlier team lead experience, a solid grasp of test frameworks and the test pyramid, and familiarity with trunk-based development, twelve-factor app principles, Docker and monitoring tools such as Datadog. Knowledge of software design patterns and domain-driven design, strong communication, a team-first attitude and a habit of improving any code they touch are also expected.
