The primary objective of the Senior Platform Engineer role is to architect, develop, and coordinate the management of a robust, scalable, and efficient platform infrastructure. This role strives to elevate our platform into a sophisticated product that empowers engineering teams to independently access and use platform resources, reducing dependencies and accelerating development cycles.

The role requires a passion for automation and optimization, as well as being comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

  • Own the design and development of a scalable and robust platform infrastructure that meets the diverse needs of engineering teams.
  • Orchestrate the automation of platform management and deployment processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
  • Use tools like Terraform or CloudFormation to manage infrastructure through code, ensuring consistency and repeatability.
  • Lead efforts in containerization using Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes to streamline application deployment and management.
  • Implement comprehensive monitoring solutions and optimize platform performance to ensure reliability and optimal performance.

Why you are our next Senior Platform Engineer

  • Expertise in Scripting and Automation: High proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell) for automating platform management and deployment.
  • Infrastructure as Code Proficiency: Deep experience with Terraform or CloudFormation for managing infrastructure through code.
  • Containerization Mastery: Extensive knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes).
  • Monitoring and Performance Tuning: Strong background in implementing and using monitoring tools and techniques to ensure platform reliability and performance.
  • Collaboration and Communication: Excellent ability to collaborate with multi-functional teams and effectively communicate technical concepts.
  • Security Knowledge: In-depth understanding of security standard processes and compliance requirements for cloud platforms.

What's in it for you?

  • 3 days in the office, 2 days remote – with flexible hours to suit
  • Inclusive paid parental leave, up to 14 weeks for the primary care giver
  • All Optus employees have access to resources, webinars and support via the 'Parents at Work portal'
  • Own your own growth by accessing an extensive online and facilitator led learning catalogue – even earn a MBA micro-credential via OptusU (University)
  • Connect at work through one of our employee-led volunteer groups: Culture Connect, Elevate Women, Disability Network, Express Yourself (LGBTQIA+), United Veterans and Yarn Network
  • Vibrant campus life, variety of facilities including restaurants, cafes, gymnasium, GP, and post office
