Engineering Manager at Qsic
THE ROLE
At Qsic, we have built the world’s first platform for fully-automated in-store environments using AI-driven experimentation and applied learning at scale. And in doing so, we unlock unimaginable in-store revenue potential for our clients and their customers.
We’re hiring an experienced engineering manager to work closely with our CTO, David Goodlad. Together you’ll double the tech team, mature existing development practices and drive a healthy engineering culture.
Currently there are 8 engineers and shortly after starting they’ll report to you.
We’re looking for someone whoHas a high degree of empathy and cares deeply about creating an inclusive environmentHas experience in establishing effective development and delivery processes, and understands how to improve the way team works togetherCan provide technical guidance to our engineering team and unafraid to jump into the codebase when requiredHas experience in hiring and growing a diverse teamEnjoys collaborating with leaders from other departments and the engineering team to set and manage priorities
TECHNOLOGIES
Predominantly our stack is Python & Django. We also work with React for our back office software.
You’ll guide the team in building our AI enabled platform that ingests client’s POS data (point of sale, to be clear:)), streams music and advertising to smart speakers (fun fact - we’re one of the world’s biggest installers of Sonos) and provides analytics to our customers so they know the positive impact we’re having.
There’s a backend API, a music streaming service that connects to the Raspberry Pi in each store and finally back office software that manages venues.
Our system is composed of a distributed fleet of thousands – shortly to be tens of thousands! – of devices installed in our customers’ locations, with a central API and AI-driven stack to help ensure the right content and messaging are delivered for maximum impact. This leads to some extraordinarily interesting problems, ranging from scaling our services to handle >100k requests per minute, reliably operating tens of thousands of embedded systems, building industry-leading AI applications to drive effective messaging, all the way through designing the UIs that help us and our customers use and understand our platform.

What’s most important is values fit.Work flexible hours from our Melbourne office or remotely around AustraliaJoin the whole team for frequent gatherings – we get everyone together at least once a quarter, more frequently when it matters
The Company
Been to a 7-11, JB Hi-Fi or McDonald's recently? If so, you have heard Qsic in action. Our software streams the right music and advertising based on what's happening in store. We do this with a team of music curators and also AI that looks at point of sale data, weather data, local event data. It helps enhance sales, customer satisfaction and improve retail work environments.
The first line of code for what would become the Qsic platform was written in our first office in 2012. Our founders, Matt Elsley and Nick Larkins simply knew there had to be a better music streaming solution for businesses. So, we set out to build Australia’s pioneering and leading commercial music streaming platform.
Today, we have built the world’s first platform for fully-automated in-store environments using AI-driven experimentation and applied learning at scale. And in doing so, we unlock unimaginable in-store revenue potential for our clients and their customers.
