About ROLLER

ROLLER isn’t your average SaaS company. We operate globally across 30+ countries, powering millions of real-world experiences in the leisure and attractions industry. What we build doesn’t just live on a screen. It shows up in busy venues, peak weekends, and unforgettable moments for guests.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: help operators run better businesses while creating great guest experiences. That means solving complex, real-world problems across ticketing, point of sale, self-service, memberships, kiosks, and digital waivers, all at meaningful scale.

Just as importantly, it’s the people. We’re a team of 300+ smart, grounded, and genuinely passionate humans working across the globe. We care about quality, ownership, and doing work we’re proud of, without taking ourselves too seriously.

We’re growing fast, aiming high, and building something that matters. If you want to work on real problems, with real customers, alongside people who care deeply about their craft and impact, ROLLER is a great place to do it.

 

Why You'll Enjoy

🚀 Real Scale, Real Consequence - If you want your judgment to matter, this is the place. ROLLER is a global, rapidly scaling SaaS business backed by Insight Partners. In 2025, we powered 90 million guest experiences across those 35 countries and we’re growing fast towards 1 billion experiences a year. When things go wrong at this scale, the impact is real: lost revenue for operators and poor experiences for guests who are meant to be having fun, celebrating birthdays, or spending time with friends. The systems you design, build, and operate genuinely matter.

💻 Real-World Complexity, Noy Toy Problems - This role suits engineers who enjoy problems shaped by the real world.  You’ll work on high-impact capabilities. Getting it right means venues run smoothly. Getting it wrong shows up immediately.

🧠 Depth Over Churn - Rather than bouncing between unrelated features, you’ll go deep on a clearly defined problem space. That depth rewards strong technical judgment, careful consideration of downstream impact, and a long-term view of quality.

 

Why You Want to Work With Us!

❤️ Loved by Customers - ROLLER is consistently highly rated on Capterra and G2, and trusted by leading operators worldwide. That doesn't happy by accident. Customer obsession isn't a value on a wall here, it's embedded in how we prioritise, build, and measure success.

🏆 A Great Place People Choose to Stay - We’ve been Great Place to Work certified across multiple regions for several years running. That reflects a culture that values trust, autonomy, and growth, and an environment where high standards and psychological safety coexist.

💸 Competitive Package & Real Career Growth - We offer competitive compensation and benefits aligned to the level of ownership we expect. As ROLLER scales, so do the opportunities. People grow here by taking on bigger problems, broader scope, and greater responsibility. Progression is driven by impact and capability, not tenure, and strong performance is recognised and rewarded.

 

Why This Role Matters

As a Platform Tech Lead at ROLLER, you will play a key role in guiding engineers within our Platform squad, partnering closely with the Product Manager and Designer as part of the Product Trio to deliver high-quality, scalable platform capabilities that enable engineers across the company.

In this role, you will combine strong technical leadership with hands-on engineering, contributing directly to the codebase while helping shape the technical direction of the platform. The Platform team focuses on building the foundations that empower product teams, improve developer velocity, and unlock impact across the entire engineering organisation. This includes driving modern engineering practices and exploring opportunities to leverage AI and automation to enhance how we build and operate software.

You’ll support and mentor engineers on your team, fostering strong engineering practices while ensuring we deliver reliable, scalable systems. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, enabling other engineers to move faster, and raising the bar for engineering excellence.

Like all engineering roles at ROLLER, this position follows a hybrid work model: 3 days per week in our office located South Melbourne office, with the flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week. Many of our engineers also choose to spend additional time in the office to collaborate and connect with the team in person.

 

What You'll Do

  • Lead and Coach: Provide day-to-day leadership, mentorship, and technical guidance to the engineers in your squad, ensuring they grow and succeed in their roles.
  • Own Squad Delivery: Collaborate within the Trio to prioritise work, manage technical scope, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery of product outcomes.
  • Be Hands-On: Actively contribute to the codebase, designing, building, reviewing, and deploying features, primarily using C#, T-SQL/SQL Server, and AWS.
  • Champion Engineering Excellence: Promote engineering best practices, including test-driven development, CI/CD, and system observability.
  • Foster Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Design, Product, and other squads, to deliver customer-focused solutions.

 

About You

  • 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, including time spent in a leadership or mentorship capacity.
  • Strong experience with C# .NET / Web API, SQL Server, and T-SQL optimisation.
  • Solid understanding of modern software architecture and designing for scalability and high availability.
  • Confident working with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, and SQS.
  • Comfortable managing CI/CD pipelines and promoting DevOps culture and practices.
  • Experienced in leading or coaching a team in an agile environment, ideally within a Trio setup.
  • You are people-focused: skilled at building rapport, giving feedback, and growing others through coaching and support.
  • Passionate about quality, security, and performance in software systems.
  • A clear communicator who thrives on collaboration and transparency.
  • You have a high appetite for Technology and AI and a natural curiosity for how it can transform your work. You’re comfortable using AI tools to automate repetitive 'busy work,' freeing you up to focus on high-impact work.
  • You value continuous learning and actively encourage knowledge sharing within your team.

We believe AI is a career-defining inflection point. ROLLER is a fast adopter of new technology like AI, and every team member is empowered to own their learning and use the latest tools to supercharge their impact. We’re looking for candidates with the proficiency and curiosity to embrace AI and technology — not just as a technical skill, but as a core competency to help us achieve big goals.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
