Web Development 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 harnesses the power of IT networking to make AV better, replacing the need for specialised point-to-point analogue and digital connections. With audio and video making up so much of our daily lives, we play an important role in every great audio visual moment. The Dante technology embedded in popular AV products makes it possible for users to connect sound and vision like never before. 

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.

What you’ll be working on

You will build and lead a team of web developers to rapidly deliver customer facing features to our cloud-based Dante Director product. Your team will work closely with the Director platform team in Sydney, contributing to feature development in the web backend and frontend components of the system. You'll work with product management and UX/UI designers to build beautiful and intuitive user experiences.

This is a hands-on role where you will not only lead the team but also be an active contributor.
