Technical Lead
SQiBLE | Remote (Australia) | Full-time
You've been the most capable person in the room for years. Nobody let you run it. We will.
One Technical Lead. Not a coordinator, not a meeting-booker. The person who owns the architecture, sets the standard, makes the call and ships.
You will run a team of genuinely clever engineers, report straight to the CEO, and shape how SQiBLE builds across ERP, CRM, integration and custom software.
This is a build-your-own-mandate job with a runway to CTO. Still reading? Keep going.
What you'll own
Technical delivery across our ERP, CRM, integration and custom software work, R&D and projects alike. You decide what good looks like and hold the line on it.
The team. You direct and guide them daily, lift their skills, grow their careers and keep the clever ones from walking.
Architecture and standards. You turn the CEO's direction into the technical plan, then hold the team to it: reusable, shared components, not bespoke one-offs.
Automation and AI. You drive automation into how we build and what we ship and turn AI and agent capability into reusable platform services.
Clients. You scope, estimate, walk through solutions and resolve issues, explaining technical calls to non-technical people without losing the detail.
Risk. You surface it early and own the path out.
AI isn't optional here
We build agent capabilities as platform services, not bolt-ons. AI runs through how we build and what we ship. You already use AI tools daily and you can prove it. “I tried ChatGPT once” ends the conversation.
The kit
PHP, .NET Core, Vue.js, JavaScript, MySQL. ERP and CRM (Infor CSI and Zoho ideal; Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo all fine). APIs, ETL, middleware. AWS and Azure.
The bar
8+ years engineering, 2 to 3 of them leading. Real client-facing delivery. Consulting, implementation or managed services background? Even better.
Don't bother if:
✘ You want clear boundaries and someone above you to decide.
✘ “Leadership” means hiding in the code.
✘ You need certainty before you will move.
✘ Your AI game stops at ChatGPT.
✘ You would rather be right slowly than ship.
✘ You have never gone deep on anything.
We need to talk if you can say yes to at least 4 of these 6:
✔ Engineers got measurably better because of you.
✔ You have owned delivery end to end and worn the result.
✔ You decide on incomplete information and own what follows.
✔ AI is in your daily workflow and you can show us how.
✔ You can hold a whole platform in your head at once.
✔ You have been overlooked somewhere bigger and you are done waiting.
A word from the person you'd report to
“Progress over perfection, always. Bring me outcomes and a team that is firing, and I will back you to the hilt and hand you decisions you have never been trusted with before.”
Who we are
SQiBLE builds software that connects the entire journey from quote to delivery – specialising in automotive & manufacturing. Small, and proud of it. No layers, no politics, no waiting three weeks for a decision. You ship, you watch it land, you do it again.
Behind that small team sits Jonas Software and Constellation Software, Inc. (TSX: CSU.TO): 20,000+ people and $3.5 billion USD, going nowhere. Startup pace, enterprise backing, and the freedom to move fast without ever wondering whether the whole thing folds. That combination is rare, and it is exactly why people stay.
What you get
A direct line to the CEO and a real shot at CTO.
Autonomy, and a leader who backs it.
Remote, anywhere in Australia.
Employee Share Purchase Plan through Constellation Software Inc.
Flexible leave, with the option to buy more.
EAP support for your mental and physical wellbeing.
One role. One person. If this reads like your job description, it probably is. Show us.
