Sydney Melbourne, Australia SafetyCulture Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
Why join us? We're a global tech company,  just not the kind you're picturing.
Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers' lives better. At SafetyCulture, you'll hear "yes, let's give it a shot" more often than "that's not how we do things here."
People join because we're building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. We've got the scale and innovation you'd expect from big tech. The difference? No endless layers of sign-off. No corporate theatre. Just smart, experienced people solving real problems fast 
The scale is big. But the ownership's personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We're not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI. 
This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you'll fit right in.
The role As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer in our Platform Engineering team, you'll work across a team of co-located Engineers to build the infrastructure architecture required to run the SafetyCulture platform.  
Your goal will be the deployment, management and configuration of our infrastructure on AWS. Developing fast and efficient automated workflows are essential. The key to this role is an 'infrastructure as code' approach to managing our distributed and rapidly evolving architecture that requires as little manual intervention as possible.

  • Assisting teams across the entirety of our engineering stack. Implementing best practices in security and risk mitigation
  • Working very closely with software engineers to provide guidance about architectural patterns and goals
What you'll need
  • A deep understanding of how Postgres/Kubernetes/GitOps works
  • Experience with deployment and management of servers, services and networking (on AWS or similar environments)
  • An 'infrastructure as code' approach to managing infrastructure
  • Experience with Linux system administration
  • Strong configuration management, CI and CD experience
  • Experience with programming languages such as Python or GoLang 
  • Experience managing and deploying in complex Kubernetes environments
  • Experience managing and utilising AWS services like EC2, Aurora and RDS in large organisations
  • Able to demonstrate SafetyCulture values (Think Customer, Open Honest Always, Better as a Team, Be Bold Bring Action)
  • Experience operating microservice applications
Some experience that's nice to have
  • Experience applying software delivery practices to infrastructure and operations (Site Reliability Engineering) would be an advantage
  • Experience with GitOps, such as ArgoCD and/or Flux
  • Experience managing a Kafka clusters
  • Writing , Python or Golang application code to truly break down all walls between dev and ops
More than a job
  • Equity with high growth potential, and a competitive salary
  • Flexible working arrangements, we encourage you to create the best work blend while working from your home and the local SafetyCulture office;
  • Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities;
  • Hackathons, Workshops, Lunch & Learns;
  • We encourage involvement in the community, open source work, attending talks and events, and experimenting with new technologies.
Office benefits
  • In-house Culinary Crew serving up daily breakfast, lunch and snacks;
