About the role

Platform Engineering provides the foundation forour next generation banking platform, delivering the runtime environment that abstracts our feature teams from the underlying infrastructure.

The surface area here is broad, thisisn'tjust \"something running in Kubernetes\".You'llhelp look after the whole platform, spanning many domains and multiple AWS accounts, sothere'salways a new corner to dig into.

• Networking{{:}} ingress and egress, DMZ and cluster networking, load balancers, cross-account, cross-region, and cross-VPC networking, and B2B integrations with third parties.


• Security{{:}} authentication and authorisation (OAuth,mTLS), IAM and security configuration, service mesh, egress filtering, andHashiCorpVault.


• Data{{:}} Aurora PostgreSQL and database performance, Kafka, and caching.


• Platform and infrastructure{{:}} Kubernetes on AWS, orchestrated with Terraform,and the management layer that ties it all together, providing tier1 grade resilience and 99.99% availability for our customers.


• Tooling and CI/CD{{:}} Go and Python for our operational tooling, with Jenkins and Concourse CI (plus various code linting and validation tools).


• Feature Team services{{:}} built on Java / Spring Boot /Quarkus, thoughyou'lldeal with these less directly.

About you

You know that \"perfect is the enemy of great\", and that software engineeringisn'tabout admiring problems but about collaborating to find solutions that work.

We believegreat communicationis one of the best skills you can have, as well as the motivation to learn and achieve results.

We believe diversity of thought is crucial in helping us find broader solutions to tough challenges. We have dedicated teams with bags of experience, so the engineers we recruit can stretch their talents regardless of domain background.

Our stack is wide and, on any given day, almost any part of it might need attention.We'reafter someone keen to get stuck into whatever comes up, so ifyou'reonly interested in one narrow area (say, just CI/CD), thisprobably isn'tthe role for you.

About the team

As a Platform Engineer in our Sydney team, you will be part of an open, collaborative, and innovative environment, working on a platform responsible for the money of millions of people.

We value transparency and realism over theatre. Nobody memorises everything, real engineering is figuring things out{{:}} reading docs, asking teammates, searching, and increasingly reaching for AI.

We treat AI as a supporting tool, the same waywe'vealways treated a search engine, and we care far more about how you think through a problem than whether you can recite an answer from memory.You'llbe trusted to use good judgement about when a tool helps and when itdoesn't.

We work flexibly. Rather than mandating three or four days in the office like a lot of companies now do, we choose to come in two days a week, which is a balance that works well for us and one we genuinely enjoy. We treat each other like grown-ups and trust people to do the right thing rather than leaning onhard rules.
