About Easy Agile
Easy Agile is an Australian founded bootstrapped start-up. We have four products built on top of Atlassian’s flagship product Jira, sold via the Atlassian Marketplace. Profitable from year 1, we are on a truly unique journey with an emphasis on work/family/community/self balance, while growing a high-performing team. Due to our extremely fortunate position, we are driven by… giving back to our community and our people – enabling our people to live the lives they only dreamed of.
Our HQ is in Wollongong and we have an office in Sydney, but you can find us scattered along the coast anywhere from Brighton to Tweed Heads. We offer flexible working, so you can be based anywhere in Australia! We optimise for collaboration and connection face to face as a team each quarter.
We believe that being agile is a mindset, and that true agility unlocks a team’s potential to be happier at work, have more impact in the solutions they’re building, and be more focused on their customer’s success! That’s why our purpose is to help organisations realise the benefits of being agile. We’re proud to call over 1,900 companies our customers, including Netflix, Harvard, Amazon, Lego, Mercedes and Twitter.

As Easy Agile’s first Staff Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our company’s technical landscape.

About you:

? You’re passionate about coaching and mentoring software engineers on technical capabilities, providing the guidance and support they need to reach their full potential.
? You empower team members to grow their careers and foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
? You have a knack for story telling and are able to translate the why behind your decisions into a compelling narrative that takes all teams along on the journey.
