About the role

You will be leading the development of renewable projects including wind, solar and battery storage that will need your stewardship through the development life cycle to financial close.

The role is based in our Melbourne or Sydney office – with site visits required to our development sites, stakeholders and communities. Our current portfolio consists of a mixture of greenfield through to late-stage assets, and with your help, we’ll be growing the pipeline to feed more projects into the construction phase.

Just as important as what you achieve in this role, is how you perform the role. We’ll need you to be an engaged team member, who can cross pollenate your development expertise into an investment world. Be ready for a dynamic work environment, with a start-up mindset. You’ll be encouraged and supported to be bold in your thinking and leadership, whilst being a helpful colleague to those around you.

Recruitment agencies - No thanks. We've got this one covered!

Please note we require full permanent working rights for this position.

Who are we?

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that’s shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world’s most sustainable pet wellness company, we’re putting pets and our planet first — one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we’ve served almost 30 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 200+ pet-obsessed and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you!). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet’s wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack!

Our Mission

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they’re getting sicker earlier. They’re dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards — prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That’s where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don’t stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it’s not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to double the average lifespan of dogs and cats by 2050.

The Team

Lyka is expanding, and we're in search of a stellar Senior Information Technology Associate to champion our pack's day-to-day IT needs at Lyka's Sydney HQ, while contributing to the development of an efficient internal IT infrastructure.

• Work in a fast-growing start-up, experiencing what goes behind the scenes to sustain hyper-growth for a start-up with a physical product!

• Growth and Development – Lyka is growing extremely quickly, which means you will have the opportunity to experience different challenges every day and progressively acquire more responsibilities as our facility and team expands. We provide an annual L&D budget for you to continue your personal development.

• Work for a sustainability focused company – we care about the health of our dogs and our planet. We’re proud to be Australia’s only carbon-negative and plastic-negative pet company and we’re always looking at ways for us improve sustainability practices.
• Be part of a diverse top talent team, coming from widely different backgrounds and geographies.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers, along side 2 weeks of miscarriage leave in the first twenty weeks. We also offer 18 paid weeks to both primary and secondary carers if you have been at Lyka for over two years.
• Wellbeing assistance & tools to take care of your mental and physical wellbeing so you can do your best work.
• Flexible working: work from where you get your best work done. We have pet-friendly offices and industrial kitchens in Sydney and Melbourne. Onsite days are required for the beginning.
• Pupper parent support to care for your furry friends – flexible arrangements for new pets, pet-friendly offices, discounts, and financial allowance for dog training & care to help them live their best life!
  

We are committed to building inclusive and diverse teams

Lyka is an equal opportunity employer devoted to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion.

Dear Wizard Of Web Development,

If you’ve been searching through countless lifeless job listings on Seek…

Almost slipping into a deep coma from the “We’re looking for a highly experienced 2IC web developer... blah blah blah” job adverts...

And you’re looking for an exciting opportunity to join the fastest growing digital agency in the country…(yes, we’ve got the awards to prove it)

Then this will be the most important job listing you ever read.

Here’s why...

My name is Sabri Suby and I am looking for a sharp and switched on 2IC developer to join our team.

But not any old developer, no. I’m looking for a ‘wizard’.

So what do I mean by a wizard?

It’s someone who loves the incredibly satisfying feeling of slicing up designs to pixel perfection..and then pushing those little bad boys live.

Someone who gets great satisfaction from seeing the designs they hand coded… go on to change someone's life (seriously).

I like to think of it as…

Gandalf With A Sprinkle Of Neo From The Matrix

You must be someone who looks at code like Neo from the matrix, something you can bend with your will.

Like something you take so seriously, that if coding was an Olympic sport you would take home the gold for Australia...

We’re looking for a 2IC developer who can smash out pixel-perfect designs, weekly.

That’s right, weekly. No more huge bloated projects that you have to stare at for months on end...until you can finally push them live.

You will constantly be working on a huge variety of new and exciting projects.

With an A-team of coding killers.

Shopify, Wordpress and good ol’ HTML.

And you won’t be joining some team of caged battery hen coders.

All forming some mass market production line of developers....

Where some huge faceless corporation fills you with enough Redbull to give you heart palpitations and makes you smash out lines of code until your fingers bleed.

Okay, okay...

Now, a little about us...

We are a full-service digital marketing agency that is growing FAST!

For the last two years, we’ve been ranked as the fastest-growing digital agency…

And the 17th fastest growing company in the country by The Australian Financial Review…

We’ve got clients in 49 different countries around the world.

And our business consists of…

90 Of The Wildest, Most Passionate Bunch Of Lunatic Marketers You’ve Ever Worked With...

And this is just one of the reasons we’ve been named in the Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia 2016, 2017 and 2018 by Anthill Magazine….

And The Best Places To Work by The Australian Financial Review 2021, 2022 AND 2023.

Look, the list goes on and on…because we’ve seriously won more awards than you can shake a stick at…

Are there occasionally stressful moments? Sure — such is life.

Is every day peachy? Of course not — we’d be lying if we said it was.

But we do our best to make sure those are the exceptions.

We’re in one of the most competitive industries in the world.

An industry dominated by giants and frequent upstarts backed by hundreds of millions of dollars in VC money. We’ve taken zero. Where does our money come from? Our customers.

They buy what we’re selling and we treat them exceptionally well. Call us old fashioned.

But enough about us, what about you...

Are you…

• Passionate about the opportunity of joining the dev team of one the country's fastest growing companies?
• Dedicated to standing out from the crowd and delivering exceptional code?
• Tired of working hard with little fun or reward?
• Ready to take on an amazing role amongst an awesome team.
• Deadly serious about having the strongest gif game in the office?

But Before You Get ALL Excited…I’ll Stop You There...

Because this role won’t be easy.

We’re a fast-paced agency who demands nothing but the very best.

We push out hundreds of projects per year. All fueled by super clean, responsive...and most importantly high-converting designs.

It's quite a workload.

And, as such…

I need a super sharp and organised Wizard of web development at the helm.

Not only someone who knows how to code, but someone who can communicate limitations and opportunities within a project to a civilian (non coder).

Maybe you’ve been stagnating at a company with no growth prospects and want to be surrounded by a team of sharp devs.

Maybe you’re fresh out of uni and this is your first full-time job.

Maybe you are sick and tired of being a battery hen coder and drinking Kombucha… and want something a little more dynamic where you can see the measurable impact your work has on other people’s lives….

Whatever it is, you must share the belief that….

There Is Almost No Problem You Can’t Solve With Google, Stack Overflow, And A Rubber Duck...

No two days in this role will be the same.

However, our wizard of web development will be able to confidently:

• Be hands-on, with theme and plugin development for CMS (Wordpress and Shopify preferred, but let’s be real, CMS are all six of one half a dozen of the other).
• Command over HTML, CSS, PHP orand Javascript.
• Ability to Photoshop, Figma or other design tools to convert layered design files into HTML.
• Agency experience is a bonus, but an outstanding portfolio of projects is also great (both isare even better!).
• We use Git for version control - that shouldn’t be foreign to you.
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills - a must for any developer.
• Communicate technical issues to Account Managers in plain English to educate and help resolve client problems.
• The fundamental requirement to this role is attention to detail - recognising that the little details make the difference, while still being able to see the big picture.
• Support the Head of Web Development with training and supporting the mid and junior members on the team.

Look, our ideal candidate will have an ‘I got this’ attitude...they will be solution-focused with a proven track record in punching out a wide variety of coding projects.

You will have to possess the ability to run through walls to get to a solution.

And won’t be the type of person who throws their hands in the air and gives up at the first sight of a challenge.

What will your everyday work look like? Will it be boring?

Well, let me just say this...

The List Of Random Requests And Strange Problems To Fix Will Keep Your Workday Varied And Far From Boring!

For example...

One day you might be slicing up code for a landing page…

And the next day you might be looking at a Shopify site and setting up a one-time upsell.

Then the following week you might be sharpening your gaze at some PHP, for a top secret internal project we’re working on in our crusade to take over the world (not in an evil way).

So...If you’ve been looking for your opportunity to get your foot in the door with a fast-growing company...

And want to join an A-team of coding killer and prove you have what it takes to succeed…

Then this job description has no doubt been like a breath of refreshingly crisp mountain air on a hot Melbourne summer's day…

Here’s What To Do Next...

Please take the time to write a Cover Letter that tells me about YOU.

Not some wishy-washy cover letter like…

“I’m a 26-year-old Sagitarius from Fitzroy - who enjoys vegan burritos, Kombucha and Daft Punk”...

No.

I want the details.

The juice.

The nitty-gritty.

Specifically why you think you would be the perfect fit for this role.

If you can’t take the time to do this.

Please don’t waste my time or yours by applying.

Best of luck.

Sabri

P.S. The fast-paced agency life is not for everyone. Only apply for this role if you thrive in a fast environment, are hungry to get your hands on piles of data and are ready to support our tribe to victory!

Please also provide a Cover Letter with your application. Applicants without one will not be considered.

• You must have work samples that demonstrate your abilities.
• We build a lot of landing pages, websites, eCommerce sites, and some completely custom projects - someone interested in practically applying their skills to solve real business problems would be a great fit for this position.
• You must have experience with server management - setting up and migrating sites and managing DNS settings should be a comfortable setting for you.
• You should be comfortable using APIs, getting your hands dirty in databases, and SSH should not scare you (too much).
• Experience in a lead or senior role is a big plus!
• Bonus for experience with AWS or other cloud hosting services, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, JS debugging, Vue, Infusionsoft, ActiveCampaign, or other CRMs, or a good eye for design.
• This is a fast-paced environment. You don't need to be the fastest dev ever, but you do need to be ready for a challenge.

What we're offering:

• Extensive training and full support - we take training very seriously and will provide you with the industry's very best and training, giving you the knowledge and confidence needed for greatness.
• Generous salary - we want Australia's best talent and reward as such.
• Driven and vibrant team of the country's most switched on digital marketers and growth experts
• Amazing growth prospects and upward mobility, build an empire within our fine progressive company.
• INSANE events - You name it and we've probably done it.
• Company trips away - such as glamping, Bali & Thailand.
• Two days work from home - because sometimes you just want to wear your comfy pants and slippers.
• Jawdropping headquarters in South Yarra (just off Chapel St.) is close to cafes and public transport.

P.P.S. If this job description excited you even just a little bit. And you believe that you are indeed the web developer wizard that we are looking for...

Then please write and send your cover letter ASAP as we're currently interviewing for this position and I'm sure it will get filled fast.

Who knows. Maybe it will be a fit and maybe it won't.

And maybe, just maybe, this will turn out to be the best job you've ever had.

We are the biggest NERDS, we are SUPER FUN, and it’s no joke. Collaborating every day, we focus on numbers-based thinking that we know will deliver real, tangible, data-driven insights (none of the fluff, jargon, and guesswork you might see elsewhere) and we have a FUN time doing it all together.

Over 3 years, we’ve invested $1M+ into trying and testing every digital strategy to see what works and what doesn’t. It seems the rules to succeeding online are always changing, so every day our team is building new and intuitive tools to tackle the future of marketing.

We solve the digital world by turning to the numbers (real, hard evidence you can’t deny). And our clients turn to us, the Online Marketing Gurus (the nerds who know their stuff and get it done).
