Platform Engineer

Requirements

• Deep, working knowledge of AWS - Lambda, EC2, EKS, RDS, SQS, IAM, SSM, and the broader ecosystem. Not just the concepts, but knowing what breaks and how to fix it.
• Kubernetes - cluster management, scaling groups, ports, and production-level troubleshooting
• Terraform - we run everything through it, so this is non-negotiable
• CI/CD pipeline experience - we use Jenkins, but if you know GitHub Actions or Buildkite, you'll pick it up
• PostgreSQL / SQL database fundamentals
• A development background, or strong experience working closely with engineering teams on application architecture
• Clear communication - you'll be translating between infra and dev teams regularly, and writing RCAs during incident
• What would set you apart
• AWS Solutions Architect certification
• Experience with cloud security practices - IAM policies, secrets management, security group design, and compliance controls
• Experience with HashiCorp tooling beyond Terraform
• Exposure to Internal Developer Platform concepts
• Comfort using AI coding tools (Claude Code is part of our workflow) with the judgement to know when not to trust them
• The environment
• This team moves fast. There are real incidents, real pressure, and a genuine on-call commitment. The flip side is a team culture that's relaxed, collaborative, and not at all corporate. New starters are expected to be in office full-time.
• What We Can Offer You
• Novated leasing via salary packaging
• Employee Assistance Program (24/7 confidential support on relationships, bereavement, finances)
• Generous Parental Leave Program
• Paid Volunteer Leave Days
• Public Holiday Exchange Scheme
• Talent Referral Program - get rewarded for referring a friend to join our team!
