Auckland, New Zealand Multitudes Full time

Kia ora and welcome to Multitudes We’re on a mission to make tech equitable and inclusive – and we’re hiring

Our product is an AI agent that not only enhances product delivery but also nurtures teams – by making sure everyone is getting the feedback they need, that work is distributed fairly, and giving visibility to the warning signs of burnout.

Our dedication extends beyond our product to how we operate. Every aspect of our team, from hiring practices to product development, is infused with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

About the opportunity: Lead Software Engineer

You will play a pivotal role by leading delivery, managing our engineering team, and contributing to the codebase. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to have a meaningful influence in shaping both our product and our team – you’re a human-centric leader who takes pride in building excellent products and delivering them well.

What a typical week might look like:
  • Meet with Lauren (our founder) and Laura (Product & Design Lead) to provide your advice and input on a new feature
  • Jump into a call with one of our key customers to understand and solve a particularly thorny bug in our Jira integration
  • Jump into a call with Vivek, our Lead Data Scientist, to chat about the R&D roadmap and upcoming architecture needs for our AI/ML roadmap
  • Work closely with Josh and Emily, our Engineers, to design the architecture for the next feature
  • Lead delivery planning by spiking on upcoming features, estimating timelines with Laura, and managing technical implementation plans
  • Write code and be hands-on across the stack – whether it's building new features, addressing customer support issues, or driving technical improvements
  • Mentor and coach Josh and Emily on their own growth and development goals – you'll be their line manager
  • Catch a roadblock in the feature we're currently building, figure out what that means for our launch date, and then communicate that to Lauren and Christine, our GTM Lead to figure out how to balance the technical timeline with external launch needs
  • Meet with potential candidates for a new software engineering role
  • Be part of the on-call roster, handling incidents and customer issues with urgency to maintain service reliability

Our stack includes a React frontend, Dockerized Typescript APIs powering the backend, and data pipelines using Python and Snowflake/Mage, all running on AWS with IaC managed in Terraform.

This role has the potential to scale as our company grows.

Core Skills Required
  • Experience in leading engineering delivery
  • The ability to communicate clearly with different stakeholders about technical limitations, business priorities, and the trade-offs of different pathways
  • Excitement about the challenge and fast pace of a startup
Nice to have
  • Interest in leveraging new technologies and advances in AI/ML for our product
  • Experience in developing dashboards, particularly for analytics and/or graphical purposes
  • Experience with technical architecture, including designing scalable and reliable systems
  • Experience with data engineering workload and concepts

At Multitudes, we know that the perfect candidate doesn’t always tick every box. We’re looking for someone with strong problem-solving skills and a customer-obsessed mindset. If you bring these qualities and are excited about our mission and the chance to grow into new areas – whether it’s diving deeper into infrastructure, backend services, or data pipelines – we encourage you to apply.

You’ll get support from Lauren and we’ll connect you to experienced engineering leaders (we have a lot of amazing ones in our network) to support you to grow into the role.

In addition, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team; we cannot succeed in our mission without it. People from marginalized groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

What we provide
  • Supportive working environment with remote & flexible work options
  • Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion – both in how we work as a team and in our product development practices
  • Opportunity to be part of an impact-led, fast-paced startup
  • $172.5K total compensation, $150K base salary plus $22.5K equity, and $5K per year cash increases guaranteed
  • $500 annual Learning and Development budget
  • $1000 one off allowance for your home office setup
  • Regular board games, bi-annual team strategy week, and more

Note that this is a full-time role based in Auckland, New Zealand.

  • A copy of your CV
