Join our Consumer Segment Technology team in our Sydney office as a Software Engineering Tech Lead transforming our core consumer platforms. Coming from Equifax’s significant data and technology investment, you’ll be delivering the transition of one of our core legacy systems from AWS to a new GCP based global platform that strengthens our data driven decision-making and AI/ML capabilities. You’ll be the technical lead responsible for taking us to a best-in-class, automated, and secure platform that will further support the people, business and communities that we support.

You’ll be leading multiple squads with a split between offshore and onshore located teams. This role is expected to have about a 20/30% hands on technical element which includes coding, and you'll need to work to uplift our internal capability over time.

Like our other lead roles at this level you'll be doing code reviews, delivering technical designs and architecture work, as well as supporting general process improvement and automation within the engineering practice.

Lead software engineering for a critical platform and support its transition to a new cloud environment and capability (AWS to GCP and Angular as front end)
