Deputy is a global SaaS workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and achieved Unicorn status in 2024.

At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.

We're becoming an AI-native company, a commitment that means you'll be empowered (and expected) to use AI tools and thinking in your day-to-day work. You'll have the training, support, and freedom to use AI responsibly and creatively to spark ideas, solve problems faster, and unlock new ways of working.

If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!

The role

Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will lead the engineering team responsible for Scheduling, one of the most heavily used parts of Deputy. You will lead and grow engineers with a range of experience while helping the team make sound technical decisions and deliver meaningful improvements for customers.

Deputy powers hourly work for more than 1.5 million shift workers across 380,000 workplaces in over 100 countries. Businesses have used the platform to create more than a billion shifts. At the heart of this is Scheduling, where business demand, employee availability, labour costs and compliance come together.

The role combines the complexity of a mature, business-critical product with the opportunity to improve its foundations and shape what comes next. The team is modernising established workflows, improving performance for larger customers and exploring where AI can make scheduling simpler and more effective.

This is a technical engineering leadership role. You will develop a strong understanding of the product and architecture so you can contribute to technical discussions, coach senior engineers and help the team make pragmatic trade-offs. During your first few months, you will spend some time in the codebase and may contribute targeted changes as part of learning the product. Over time, your greatest impact will come through the performance and growth of the team.
