About Facto

Facto is a growing Australian IT consultancy specialising in business transformation, technology enablement, and strategic advisory services.

Our consultants are trusted experts who thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.

The opportunity

Join an Innovation & Digital Enablement team to design, build, and operate the technology platform and engineering foundations for a next-generation talent marketplace. In addition to platform principles and target architecture across application, integration, and runtime layers, you will establish the engineering bar (standards, quality gates, coaching), grow and mentor the team, and run guilds/communities of practice so product and data squads ship faster, safer and cheaper.

What the role does
  • Architecture & guardrails: Define target architecture and NFRs; publish reference implementations the teams adopt.
  • Engineering practice leadership: Grow and evolve the engineering team and culture; hiring, onboarding, coaching, and showing by doing; run guilds, code reviews, and DoR/DoD quality gates; measure DevEx (e.g. DORA).
  • Golden paths & enablement: Ship reusable templates, CI/CD + IaC kits, and standards; drive adoption across squads; pair program to unblock.
  • Platform & runtime stewardship: Operate reliable, observable, cost-efficient foundations (K8s/APIs/events); own SLOs/error budgets and post-incident learning.
  • Integrated delivery & partners: Maintain the integrated backlog with Product & Experience and Data Practice leads; sequence releases; manage vendors to SLAs with knowledge transfer.
  • Partner & vendor orchestration: Lead partners to clear outcomes, SLAs, and knowledge transfer, managing risks and inter-team dependencies.
Must have experience
  • 10+ years across software engineering and architecture; 3+ years leading platform and solution delivery for multi-channel products.
  • Owned platform roadmaps/backlogs; shipped iterative platform capabilities linked to product outcomes/OKRs.
  • Hands-on with cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), Docker, API gateway/service mesh, event streaming (e.g. Kafka), CI/CD & Terraform, and observability.
  • Embedded security/privacy and compliance by design; ran incident/change/problem practices; managed partners to SLAs with knowledge transfer.
  • Practice building: hiring/mentoring, standards, guilds; drive DoR/DoD and DevEx/DORA improvements across multiple teams.
Tooling & tech
  • Integration/Eventing: Kafka (or equivalent).
  • IaC/CI-CD: Terraform; modern pipelines.
  • Security: IAM/OIDC, OAuth, secrets management, WAF; policy-as-code where appropriate.
