Job Description

Squiz, a global digital experience platform provider, is seeking two Technical Lead/Principal Engineers to join their product team. This is a 6-month contract position with a focus on delivering a cloud-based Digital Experience Platform (DXP). The role combines hands-on coding with technical leadership, requiring expertise in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and AWS.

The position offers a hybrid work arrangement across Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne, emphasizing flexibility and work-life balance. As a Technical Lead, you'll be deeply involved in coding while guiding architecture, shaping technical direction, and mentoring team members. The role requires strong experience in full-stack development, testing strategies, and secure coding practices.

Squiz's DXP brings together content management, optimization tooling, and platform services.

The ideal candidate will have proven technical leadership experience, strong full-stack engineering capabilities, and expertise in the core tech stack. Additional experience with Content Management Systems, Digital Experience Platforms, AI solutions, Search, or Vector databases would be advantageous.

Working at Squiz means joining a diverse team of passionate professionals who challenge the status quo. The company maintains a strong commitment to flexibility and work-life balance, allowing team members to work in ways that optimize productivity while maintaining strong team collaboration. With offices across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Poland, Squiz offers a truly global working environment.
