Tech Lead - Site Awareness

Job Description

Fullstack Software Engineer - Backend + DevOps Focus

$160K - $180K + super | Hybrid (2 days on-site) - Sydney | Building Tech That Protects Real-World Assets

This is your chance to own something big - early.

Join a high-impact team at a pivotal point in the company’s evolution. After years of success in hardware-led security tech, this business is making the leap to a product-led, software-first model, and you’ll help lead the charge.

After securing significant investment, this pioneering Australian company is transitioning from hardware-centric to a software-led, product-focused business. You’ll join at a foundational moment; owning the design and delivery of a brand-new customer-facing platform while embedding modern DevOps practices across the engineering lifecycle.

You’ll thrive here if you

• Have solid experience as a backend-leaning fullstack engineer, especially in Node.js and cloud platforms
• Are strong in AWS cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, scripting, and infrastructure-as-code
• Have exposure to DevOps or SRE practices, even if not in a dedicated role
• Are proactive, hands-on, and enjoy shaping systems from scratch in early-stage environments
  
  
  

What You’ll Do

• Greenfield platform development in TypeScript/Node.js and Python
• Building and owning CI/CD pipelines, AWS infra (CDK), and observability systems
• Setting standards for how code is shipped, secured, and monitored
• Collaborating with edge and device platform teams to integrate real-time data from camera systems and sensors
• Laying infrastructure foundations for future data products - think LLM pipelines and data engineering, not just basic dashboards
  
  
  

The tech stack

• Languages: TypeScript (Node.js), Python
• Cloud: AWS (CDK), Terraform (some exposure to GCP/Azure/Bicep a bonus)
• Infra & Tooling: CI/CD pipelines, API integrations, monitoring, alerting, DevSecOps practices
• Frontend: React (for dashboarding and UX)
  
  
  

Nice to have (but not dealbreakers)

• Experience with real-time systems or IoT products
• Exposure to video streaming, device management, or security systems
  
  
  

The team

You’ll be joining the Core Infra and Device Platform team and your impact will be immediate and foundational. Expect high trust, big problems, and real ownership.

Why this role matters

Your work will sit at the intersection of physical security, cloud computing, and DevOps excellence. You won’t just be another cog - you’ll be the bridge between scalable software and reliable infrastructure, enabling a future where data-driven site safety and operational intelligence is the norm.
