Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
Key skills for this role
Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team, supporting both technical development and career progression.
Own delivery for your team’s domain: Setting clear goals, defining milestones, and ensuring projects ship reliably and sustainably.
Own workflows and development practices that balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
Create clarity in ambiguous problem spaces, helping teams break down complex technical challenges into achievable plans.
Foster strong collaboration with Product, Customer Success and Sales teams to ensure alignment and effective execution.
Partner closely with other Tech Lead Managers to raise the bar across engineering: influence best practices, tooling, and long-term platform direction, and help scale Neara's engineering culture as we grow.
As a technical leader for an engineering group, your job is to build and lead the engineers behind a complex product, not to be the deepest expert in every part of it. Our stack spans a Dart-based client application, high-performance C++/Rust computation and simulation engines, and a Java backend for large-scale data services and APIs. Whether your own background is front end, backend, or systems, what matters is that you can earn credibility with engineers working in unfamiliar territory and know which technical trade-offs are worth your attention.
In this role, you’ll work hands-on across some of the following areas:
Stay hands-on where you multiply the team: contribute to system design and architectural decisions, and write and review production-quality code across performance-critical, data-intensive components. This isn't a hands-off role: you'll lead best by understanding the substance.
Own the technical core of your team: Balance what lives in our core engineering platform versus the application layer, so that solutions stay performant, flexible and maintainable; whilst continuing to build out our platform.

Work with complex, large-scale data: shape the ingestion and data structures that synthesise disparate sources (GIS, LiDAR, asset condition, historical failures) with a rich geospatial library, across very large networks.
Write and review production-quality code to support engineering-grade models, simulation engines, and 3D visualisations.
A technical people-leader who's owned delivery end to end: comfortable operating across engineering and product, accountable for outcomes not just outputs, and experience leading, mentoring, and growing engineers at multiple levels.
You get up to speed fast in unfamiliar territory: you've walked into a technical area you didn't already know, built context without hand-holding, found the heart of the problem, and delivered. This aptitude matters most to us.
Product sense, and a strong partner to Product: you keep the team focused on customer outcomes, and stay close to what utilities actually face - bringing an engineering perspective to hard, open-ended problems rather than waiting to be handed them.
You plan a route, then adapt as you learn: you've delivered ambitious, complex projects incrementally - shipping real progress along the way and changing course on evidence rather than clinging to the original plan.
Deep technical credibility: a strong track record of architecting and shipping complex, production-grade systems, with the judgement to go deep and make sound trade-offs without "out-experting" the specialists.
Formal grounding: a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
No-ego, outcome-oriented, and detail-obsessed: our work influences large-scale investment decisions, so we deliver polished, pristine outcomes, and we always have each other's backs.
Experience leading software teams on financial, investment, statistical modelling or other analysis-heavy, regulated products.
Exposure to geospatial systems, utilities, energy, simulation, or physics-based platforms; and strong mathematical reasoning or a mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering background. Extra bonus points if you have been building software that models the real world we live in.
Australian private software company providing physics-enabled digital twin modeling for utility infrastructure owners.
