Platform Engineer | Kubernetes | GCP/AWS | Financial Services
JS Careers is partnering with a global financial services organisation in Sydney on a Platform Engineer opportunity.
The role sits within a cloud engineering team that owns the foundations every other development team builds on. It would suit someone who enjoys automating environments end-to-end, building reliable delivery pipelines and being the engineer other teams rely on.
You'll be building and evolving a platform that supports a wider engineering function across multiple product teams. The environment is diverse in terms of the tech stack, and there is a strong push towards AI-assisted engineering at every stage of the SDLC.
What you'll be doing:
- Design, build and maintain automation to stand up GCP and Kubernetes (GKE) environments end-to-end
- Build and harden secure, automated CI/CD pipelines for containerised services
- Build monitoring, alerting and logging into environments from the ground up
- Lead incident response and drive continuous improvement in operational maturity
- Reduce manual toil through scripting and automation (Python, Bash, Go)
- Develop tooling to streamline system and data migrations onto modern containerised platforms
- Integrate core platform components including API gateways, event-driven architectures and messaging queues
- Work closely with engineering teams to break down ambiguous, multi-system problems and solve them systematically
What we're looking for:
- Production experience orchestrating containerised workloads with Kubernetes (GKE preferred, EKS highly regarded)
- Strong hands-on experience managing and scaling cloud infrastructure on GCP or AWS
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD or Bitbucket
- Practical experience with monitoring, observability and incident response
- Scripting capability in Python, Bash or Go
- Exposure to API gateways, event-driven patterns and messaging queues
- Comfort working in an AI-assisted engineering environment, with a strong focus on quality and security
- Clear communication skills and a proactive, accountable approach to problem-solving
You don't need deep experience across every part of the stack; we're open to hearing from people who can adapt and grow into the role.
If you're looking for a hands-on Platform Engineer role where you'll own the foundations that other teams build on, we'd love to hear from you.
