Job Description

About the opportunity

At Xplor Education, we’re on a mission to transform early childhood education by empowering administrators, educators, families, and children to thrive together. Through our integrated technology ecosystem, we eliminate administrative friction so educators can focus on what matters most – nurturing young minds.

Want to help us build technology that directly improves the lives of thousands of children and families across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond?  Then join us as Head of Engineering to shape and deliver the technology strategy for our Education portfolio.

Responsibilities

Why this might be the right opportunity for you:

  • You'll help us ensure that our Education platform scales globally while empowering educators and enriching learning experiences for children.
  • You'll take ownership of a ~$40M revenue portfolio with ambitious international expansion plans – your decisions will drive both technological innovation and business growth at Xplor.
  • You'll lead innovation at scale across multiple interconnected platforms (Office, Playground, Home, MyWaitlist) that serve 8,700+ childcare services.
  • You'll report directly to the Chief Technology Officer - SaaS, giving you strategic influence over technology decisions.
  • You'll build solutions that create meaningful connections – helping families stay connected to their child's learning journey, enabling educators to focus on care rather than paperwork, and ensuring children receive the best possible early education experience.
  • You'll be part of a fast-growing global business where your technical leadership directly translates to improved outcomes for children, reduced stress for families, and more fulfilling work for early childhood educators.

Job requirements

Location: At Xplor, we value flexibility. This role is fully remote within Australia, open to candidates with full working rights. You’ll collaborate closely with your team across time zones, so some overlap in working hours is important. Occasional business travel will be part of the role to stay connected and aligned.
