Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, we're a completely online company with an ecosystem of sites and services to help people get creative.

With Envato Elements, we oversee one of the world's largest subscription services for digital creatives, providing hundreds of thousands of files for unlimited download for one flat fee. We offer website design and hosting with Envato Sites. On our education platform Tuts+, over 5 million people learn skills including code, illustration, photography, web design, and more, each month. We also run a freelance marketplace called Envato Studio.

You might be surprised to know that not only do we run some of the biggest websites in the world; we're also growing really fast!

All applicants will be considered for all open engineering roles across Envato (Market, Tuts+, Studio, Elements etc.)

You'll be responsible for the team's delivery of initiatives, as well as line management of the engineers in the team. On the technical side, you will provide technical leadership and drive technical decisions and solutions. You'll also take ownership of the systems your team builds, which includes managing costs, risks, architecture, and operations.
