I’m working with a well-established NZ technology consultancy that partners with organisations to modernise platforms, improve engineering practices, and deliver complex digital solutions.
They operate as a strong Microsoft-focused environment, with much of their work centred around Azure-based platforms, cloud-native applications, and modern web architecture.
They’re now looking for a Technical Engagement Lead ,someone who enjoys thinking about systems, not just code. Someone who can step back, design scalable solutions, and guide teams on how those solutions should come together.
This role sits right at the intersection of architecture, engineering leadership, and client engagement.
The Role
You’ll work across a large client environment where multiple development teams are delivering in parallel.
Your role is to help bring technical clarity, architectural thinking, and consistent engineering practices across those streams. You'll partner closely with engineers, architects, and stakeholders to ensure solutions are well designed, scalable, and aligned with the broader Microsoft / Azure ecosystem the client operates within.
This isn’t a people management role. Instead, you’ll act as a technical leader and trusted advisor, helping teams shape better solution designs and guiding architecture decisions.
You’ll also work directly with a Practice Lead, contributing to the overall technical strategy and helping translate that into practical engineering outcomes.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading solution design discussions across multiple engineering teams
- Helping shape architecture across Azure-based cloud platforms
- Acting as a technical sounding board for developers and stakeholders
- Reviewing solution designs to ensure quality, scalability, and alignment
- Supporting teams solving complex technical challenges
- Translating business problems into practical technical approaches
- Building strong relationships with key client stakeholders
- Driving consistency and best practice across engineering teams
What You’ll Bring
- Strong background in software engineering and solution architecture
- Experience designing solutions within the Microsoft / Azure ecosystem
- Experience as a Technical Lead, Architect, or senior engineer
- Strong understanding of cloud-based web application architecture
- Ability to think in systems, patterns, and scalable design
- Confidence engaging with both engineers and business stakeholders
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- A pragmatic approach to problem solving
This role will suit someone who enjoys designing solutions, guiding engineering teams, and working across complex Azure-based platforms.
Why This Role?
- Work across large-scale Azure environments
- Influence architecture across multiple delivery streams
- Partner closely with experienced Microsoft-focused engineers and architects
- Help shape engineering practices across a complex digital ecosystem
- Hybrid working with a collaborative technical culture
If you’re a senior engineer, technical lead, or architect who enjoys solution design and shaping technical direction within a Microsoft / Azure environment, this could be a great next step.
