Are you ready to get the Easygo Edge?
The Systems Engineering Lead will code, build integrations, automate workflows and ship internal platforms, as well as architect and design the systems behind them.
What you’ll build with us:
The role will work with Git, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and our Cloud and Workplace tools to build and ship internal platforms. Everything you build is documented, operationalised and handed over cleanly to the systems administrators.
This is not a BAU or service desk role. It may assist on major escalations, but the majority of the time goes into building and delivering. The role will be the team’s technical authority, set the engineering and handover standards, and mentor others on the projects delivered, with leadership responsibility growing over time.
We know that innovation ignites when we build and create together, in person. This is a full-time opportunity at our Melbourne office. You’ll work right where it all happens, surrounded by our fearless crew shipping high-impact work.
Who is Easygo?
We’re a high-growth, high-velocity tech company with millions of eyeballs on us every day. We’re building the future of fearless tech. We’re the creators behind some of the most popular brands including Stake, KICK and Easygo Games. While they command a fierce global following, our crew is employed directly by Easygo and that’s where the real fun happens.
We’re always looking for people who are hungry, humble and move fast. People who are ready to Unify, Disrupt and Evolve with us. With us you’ll grow faster and go further. Your work has impact. And that gives you an edge you can’t get anywhere else.
The impact you’ll make:
- Design and build internal platforms, tools and mini products that solve real problems for Easygo teams, taking them from idea through to a supported service.
- Lead AI initiatives from prototype to production, building AI-powered automations and platforms using LLM APIs, MCP connectors and agent patterns, with logging, access control and human review built in.
- Set the patterns for building with AI safely, covering hosting, authentication, data handling and secrets, and give business teams practical guidance and starter templates.
- Write the technical designs and decision records for what you build, and run design reviews with the systems administrators and the Enterprise IT group.
- Build production-grade automation on n8n, with proper error handling, secrets handling, version control and separate environments.
- Integrate our SaaS and internal systems through APIs and webhooks, using code where a workflow tool is not the right fit.
- Deliver Jira and Atlassian automation and workflow projects that remove manual work.
- Run engineering the right way: Git workflows with pull request review, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar), and configuration and infrastructure managed as code (Terraform or equivalent), using containers for repeatable environments.
- Work with the project team, who handle much of the project management, to plan and deliver projects in Jira with clear scope, sequencing, risks and stakeholder communication, using simple change control that fits Easygo..
- Own the technical side of project delivery end to end, and be accountable for quality, documentation and handover.
- Use and build on our Cloud environments for your own projects, alongside the teams that own them, with infrastructure as code and sensible guardrails.
- Handle cloud networking, DNS and domain management, including working within Cloudflare.
- Contribute to wider network engineering where projects need it.
- Manage End User Compute and MDM within the Systems Engineering team, covering device configuration, rollout and integration with the platforms you build.
- Work alongside the Enterprise IT group on the engineering behind our Workplace Technology, including integrations, configuration as code and platform projects.
- Make sure everything you build is operationalised before it goes live, with monitoring and alerting in place and tested.
- Hand over complete runbooks and documentation, kept current in Confluence, so the systems administrators can support what you build.
- Run a walkthrough with the systems administrators and provide a defined support period after go-live.
- Act as an escalation point for major incidents involving what you have built, without taking on BAU or service desk work.
- Act as the team’s technical lead, setting engineering standards, reviewing work and coaching others in engineering practice.
- Mentor engineers and systems administrators working on your projects, and take on formal line management as the team grows.
Your track record:
Essential
- Experience in systems, infrastructure or platform engineering, with a track record of designing and delivering projects and platforms, not only administering them.
- Experience leading a very small team or mentoring engineers, including setting standards and running code or design reviews.
