About Lyra

Driven by purpose. Defined by people.


Lyra started with a simple act. A group of engineers helped their roommates build a product from scratch. Six weeks later that product launched. Shortly after, it raised over $2M in a pre-seed round. That company was Paraform (now raised $65m series B). And that moment was the reason Lyra exists.


Since then we have become a collective of 70+ top-tier engineers across Australia, partnering with 50+ startups across Silicon Valley to build, design, and ship products that matter. Our mission is simple: build, teach, and grow. Join Australia's top engineering talent, building software for Silicon Valley startups.


About the Role

As an entry-level engineer, you embed directly with a partnered client startup and take end-to-end ownership of a workstream. You're given the opportunity to make the technical calls, commit on timelines, and deliver outcomes the founder cares about - without the pressure that a typical FDE would take on.


This isn't a ramp-up role. You're generating value from week one: debugging deep in the client's systems without flailing, and providing value to clients drama-free.


What we're looking for

  • Proficiency in full-stack engineering with Next.js / TypeScript and/or Python
  • High achievement in academics or extracurriculars
  • You are curious about how things work and have innate ability to problem solve - this is crucial as you won't always have the information you need to move forward
  • Strong client-facing communication
  • Based in Australia


Benefits

  • Free catering daily, plus drinks and snacks provided.
  • Access to our Silicon Valley VC & founder network.
  • Receive top-of-the-line work equipment.
  • Hybrid work with access to our Barangaroo office.
  • Weekly sports and activities funded by Lyra.
