About Megaport
We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.
 
Our Team Culture
We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
 
We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

The Role

You’re an experienced Engineering Manager who loves building software! In this role you’ll lead a team of talented engineers working on our Network as a Service platform. You’ll be responsible for guiding both the development of new features and products, as well as maintaining and improving existing systems. You’re detail-oriented, care deeply about product and excel at coaching developers to think like product owners, ensuring their work aligns with user and business needs.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead, mentor, and manage a team of software engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and accountability.

  • Drive the technical vision in alignment with product goals, collaborating closely with other engineering and product teams.

  • Support the career growth of engineers by providing regular feedback, coaching, and development opportunities.

  • Bring a foundational understanding of network engineering (routing, switching, protocols, and architecture) to effectively guide a team bridging the gap between hardware and software.
  • Leverage your experience with network infrastructure to ensure software solutions are resilient and scalable.
  • Foster an environment of continuous improvement to identify, develop, and implement process changes to increase efficiency.

  • Helping the team proactively pay down tech debt by allocating time and resources to refactor and optimise existing systems to ensure long-term stability and scalability.

  • Evaluate new technology and provide input on best practices in developing proposals and strategies for software design activities.

  • Grow, develop and retain an incredible team of engineers and foster a culture of excellence and supportive collaboration.

  • Coordinate tasks and set team goals with a focus on achieving strategic business objectives.

What We Are Looking For

  • Previous experience as a hands-on software engineer with solid technical expertise.

  • Proven track record in managing and scaling teams of software engineers, preferably in a product-driven environment.

  • Effective time management skills and ability to distribute workload effectively.

  • Demonstrated capability to lead, support, and mentor team members.

  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to align cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

  • Experience leading and developing a technical team with the ability to work in a transparent and collaborative manner.

What We Offer

  • Flexible working environment – a remote-first culture with coworking options available
  • Generous leave plans – including 4 weeks of paid annual leave, parental leave, birthday leave, and a purchased annual leave program
  • Health and wellness support – through a wellness allowance and employee wellbeing initiatives
  • Comprehensive learning support – generous study and training allowance plus paid study leave
  • Creative, modern workspaces – designed to inspire when you're not working remotely
  • Motivated, inclusive team – work alongside industry experts and fresh talent
  • Recognition programs – celebrate achievements with our Legend and Kudos awards
  • For U.S. employees – access to medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus a 401(k) plan
