Description
Join one of Australia's most prominent and forward-thinking businesses as we build something new.
We're forming a brand-new product squad - an empowered, cross-functional team with a clear mission: to deliver innovative, scalable, and reliable digital experiences. As our DevOps Engineer, you'll play a foundational role, building the platform capabilities that enable our engineers to deliver quickly, safely, and confidently.
- Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure in AWS, leveraging serverless technologies such as Lambda and Step Functions.
- Champion Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - ensuring our environments are reproducible, reliable, and automated.
- Collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, and designers to remove friction, improve deployment pipelines, and enhance system observability.
- Contribute to the squad's technical strategy and help shape best practices around DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud architecture.
- Support and mentor engineers in leveraging the platform effectively, helping them ship high-quality software faster.
- Proven experience as a Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Cloud Engineer in a modern engineering environment.
- Strong expertise with AWS services - particularly serverless technologies (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, etc.).
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation).
- Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and cloud automation tooling.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills - you love enabling teams and helping others succeed.
- Highly desirable: Experience with Kubernetes (EKS or similar), containerisation, and modern observability tooling.
- Be part of a newly formed squad with a startup mindset - backed by one of Australia's most respected organisations.
- Work with cutting-edge AWS and serverless technologies.
- Influence the platform architecture and engineering culture from the ground up.
- Flexible hybrid work arrangements and genuine investment in your growth.
