Technical Lead Node.js

Company Description

Kodez is a Cloud-Native consultancy, helping customers across Australia to make the best out of Public Cloud Infrastructure. We work with clients across a range of industries to help them optimise their products and systems, finding ways to improve efficiency, security, and stay ahead of the competition. 

We’re really proud of the work we have done for clients like JB HiFi, Kmart , Coles and Seek and recognise that our biggest strength and greatest competitive advantage is our incredibly talented team. 

Why join us?

With Kodez, you can focus on doing what you do best. Solve interesting technical problems, have a significant impact, and work with teams where you’ll be able to use your existing capabilities and keep building your skills. We know that consulting can be hard and your real life is outside of the office so our focus is on supporting you and making sure you are set up to deliver amazing results. 

What does that really mean? We won’t treat you like you’re just a “resource”, and we don’t work with clients that do either. We select our projects and clients carefully and recognise the value of the expertise you bring, so we’re able to pay competitive salaries, with sensible expectations and as much flexibility as possible. 

No death march projects on below-market rates here; building happy, rewarding, long-term relationships is our focus.
