Engineering Team Lead

Who we are and what we do

Audinate leads the world in networked media with our "Dante" technology which is used extensively in professional audio & video applications, including live events, broadcast, entertainment venues and communication systems.

Dante replaces all audio and video connections with a computer network, effortlessly sending video or hundreds of channels of audio over slender Ethernet cables with perfect digital fidelity. Adopted by hundreds of manufacturers in thousands of products, Dante is the de facto standard for modern AV connectivity.

You’ll find us in the largest companies and institutions like the Sydney Opera House, NFL Media Headquarters, Microsoft, major universities and even a 900-year old cathedral featured in Harry Potter.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced engineering lead to play a significant role in directing and developing our future video and audio products. You will be a local leader, balancing long-term roadmaps and short-term priorities.

Engineering leaders and managers at Audinate work closely with product teams to ensure the translation of business requirements and customer expectations into reality and an awareness of how commercial needs impact on product development will also be very helpful.

• Exposure to modern software design processes and principles
• Experience in test automation (CI/CD) and unit testing (e.g. TDD, BDD)
• Ability to multi-task and context switch in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, yet maintain focus on the most important tasks and responsibilities at hand

What you’ll experience with us

With us, your ambition extends as far as our reach. Working alongside experts and enthusiasts from different backgrounds, you’ll refine your skills as we define our products. We’ll experience and share a purpose we can see and hear as we pioneer the future of AV together.

In addition to a competitive salary, annual bonus and equity incentive plan, you’ll experience our diverse, values-based culture and a range of benefits such as flexible working through to volunteering leave.
