Tech Lead - Mobile

Take a seat on the Xplor rocketship and join us as Mobile Tech Lead in Melbourne to help people succeed across the world.

From dropping your kids off at childcare, getting something at home repaired, going to the gym or a fitness studio, to picking up your dry cleaning — our software, payments, and commerce-enabling solutions help everyday life businesses to overcome obstacles and form great relationships with their customers.

About the opportunity 

You’ll join Xplor Education and our Engineering team — the team that provides the support and expertise educators need to manage their centres smoothly, improve parent engagement, and deliver the best educational experience, so that they can focus on what really matters - helping children succeed. 

Our Mobile Developers are a part of the team that create the product that allows parents to interact with their children at early learning centres through live observations - photos, updates, and learning outcomes for their child throughout the day. It also makes parents' admin lives easier by providing bookings and medical record functionality. As their Tech Lead, you will get to:

• Take a proactive, hands on, and collaborative approach in all sprints and tasks
• Be a part of a team with a shared goal - disrupting a market through technology and improving lives of families across the country
• Mentor and coach your team to achieve their goals

What would make me a good candidate?

• Expertise in Swift and/or Kotlin
• Deep knowledge of Android and/or iOS and Kotlin Multi-platform projects is a bonus
• Experience using modern testing frameworks
• You can setup and maintain CI/CD workflows (we use Bitrise)
• You can motivate and mentor a high performing team
• You have performed a similar role leading a high performing team previously
• You understand your role is about the team - you might not touch the code for days at a time.
• Proactive, self-motivated learner with a strong drive to achieve personal goals
• Ability to work in a team where you manage your own time and priorities
• Motivated by a fast-paced environment where you will have to constantly adapt - no two days are the same!
• You’re a true team player who knows that we all have to sometimes roll up our sleeves
• You align with our four core values and you’re simply a good human

Those are all fine bullet points, but what we are really after is attitude and drive - we want someone our teams can get behind. A person whom your peers respect and your manager admire. We want someone who isn’t afraid to step up to the plate. To take considered risks. Someone who wholeheartedly supports and lifts their team. Someone who collaborates, has fun and can own their successes and their failures, (we are, after all, human).

Bring your whole self, even bring your dog. Help us create something great.
