NParks' transformation plan includes the setup of Product, Design and Engineering Lead roles, with the first product team intended to establish the foundation for future product teams.\nAs the Engineering Lead, you will be part of NParks' founding product team, working closely with the Product Lead and Design Lead to shape, build and scale the first product. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will not only set the technical direction, but also be expected to contribute directly to architecture, engineering practices, solution design, code quality, technical delivery, and operational readiness.\nYou will help NParks build modern product engineering capability - moving from early discovery and POC/POV experimentation towards secure, scalable, reliable, and maintainable digital services. NParks' transformation plan highlights the need for in-house ownership of product governance, architecture, technical guardrails, and continuous improvement, supported by outsourced teams for Day-2 operations.\nWhat You Will Be Working On\nAs Engineering Lead, you will be the technical anchor for NParks' first product team. You will guide engineering decisions from discovery and prototyping through to product delivery, operations and continuous improvement.\nYou will work across product areas such as citizen services, animal management, urban tree management, community engagement, parks and greenery management, and enterprise platforms. NParks' digital portfolio includes product areas such as Pet Animal Licensing, Remote Tree Management, Volunteer Management, Maven II Parks & Greenery, Common Data Platform and AI/Automation platforms.\nTechnical Leadership and Hands-on Engineering\n· Serve as the technical lead for NParks' first product team, working closely with the Product Lead and Design Lead to translate product outcomes into practical engineering solutions.\nPersonally contribute to solution design, architecture decisions, technical spikes, prototypes, code reviews, and engineering delivery.\nProvide hands-on guidance to software engineers and delivery partners to ensure solutions are well-designed, secure, maintainable, and fit for purpose.\nLead by example in applying modern engineering practices, balancing speed of delivery with technical quality and long-term sustainability.\nHelp the team move confidently from problem discovery and early experiments to production-grade services.\nProduct Engineering and Delivery\n· Work with Product and Design counterparts to frame problems, test assumptions, validate technical approaches and deliver solutions iteratively.\nSupport rapid prototyping, POC/POV development and learning loops before scaling solutions into production.\nTranslate user needs, business requirements and operating constraints into clear engineering approaches and delivery plans.\nMake practical trade-offs between speed, simplicity, reliability, security, cost and future scalability.\nEnsure engineering work contributes directly to product outcomes and measurable organisational value.\nArchitecture and Technical Guardrails\n· Establish the technical architecture and engineering guardrails for NParks' first product team.\nDefine standards for system design, integration, APIs, data flows, security, observability, maintainability, and deployment.\nEnsure technical decisions support reuse, interoperability, and alignment with whole-of-government platforms where relevant.\nAvoid unnecessary complexity while ensuring systems can scale and adapt to future requirements.\nGuide modernisation of legacy components where needed, ensuring technical debt is managed deliberately.\nSecure and Reliable Delivery\n· Build security, privacy, resilience, and reliability considerations into the product from the start.\nWork with cybersecurity, infrastructure, and operations teams to ensure appropriate controls, monitoring and operational support are in place.\nEstablish engineering practices such as automated testing, CI/CD, DevSecOps, logging, monitoring, and structured incident response.\nTrack and improve service reliability indicators such as uptime, response time, error rates and incident recovery.\nNParks' transformation plan specifically identifies Ship Faster and Safer through CI/CD pipelines and Engineer for Reliability through tracking uptime, response time and error rates.\nEngineering Practices and Quality\n· Set expectations for code quality, automated testing, peer review, documentation, and production readiness.\nHelp establish practical engineering workflows that allow the team to deliver safely and continuously.\nSupport the use of modern tools, cloud services, automation and AI-assisted development where appropriate.\nEnsure both new features and BAU improvements contribute to better maintainability, reliability and user outcomes.\nCreate repeatable engineering practices that future NParks product teams can build upon.\nTeam Building and Capability Development\n· Coach and mentor software engineers, technical leads, apprentices, and vendor teams.\nHelp build the first product team into a model for future product teams within NParks.\nIdentify technical capability gaps and recommend how the team should be strengthened over time.\nSupport hiring, onboarding and development of engineering talent.\nFoster a culture of ownership, accountability, craftsmanship, transparency and continuous learning.\nStakeholder and Vendor Collaboration\n· Communicate technical options, risks and trade-offs clearly to Product Leads, Design Leads, business owners, senior management, engineers, and vendors.\nWork effectively with GovTech partners, internal NParks teams and external delivery partners.\nEnsure vendors and delivery partners follow NParks' technical standards, architecture direction, and quality expectations.\nBuild trust through sound judgement, practical technical leadership, and transparent communication.\nWhat We Are Looking For\nHands-on Engineering Experience\n· Strong hands-on experience designing, building, integrating or operating production-grade digital systems.\nAbility to contribute directly to technical solutioning, architecture, code reviews, technical spikes and engineering troubleshooting.\nStrong understanding of software engineering principles, system design, APIs, integration, cloud platforms, databases, data flows and operational support.\nPractical experience delivering secure, reliable and maintainable applications in real-world production environments.\nTechnically credible with engineers, architects, vendors and stakeholders, with the ability to discuss implementation trade-offs confidently.\nProduct Engineering Mindset\n· Experienced across the full product lifecycle - from problem framing, discovery, and rapid experimentation to POC/POV validation, production rollout and continuous improvement.\nComfortable working in a multidisciplinary product team with Product, Design, Engineering, and business stakeholders.\nAble to translate product goals and user needs into practical, iterative technical delivery.\nStrong judgement on when to optimise for speed, when to simplify, and when to invest in architecture, reliability, security and interoperability.\nOutcome-oriented, ensuring engineering decisions are linked to user value, organisational goals and public good.\nTechnical Leadership\n· Proven ability to lead engineering workstreams or small engineering teams while remaining hands-on.\nExperience setting technical direction, architecture principles, coding standards, and delivery practices.\nAbility to guide engineers and vendors towards consistent, high-quality engineering outcomes.\nStrong ability to identify technical risks, remove blockers and make pragmatic engineering decisions under constraints.\nExperience building engineering practices from the ground up would be highly valuable.\nSecure, Reliable and Maintainable by Design\n·
