Senior DevOps Engineer | Scale a Next-Gen SaaS Platform

Location:
Melbourne (Hybrid)

About

Salient is proud to be partnering with a fast-growing fintech scale-up that's tackling one of the world's most pressing challenges: financial crime. Their AI-powered SaaS platform is already trusted by leading banks and financial institutions across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

This is your chance to join an engineering-led culture where automation, scalability, and security are at the heart of everything. As the company continues to scale, they are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of the platform's infrastructure, reliability, and future growth.

The Role

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll sit at the core of the platform's success:

  • Infrastructure at Scale: Design, build, and manage a secure, multi-tenant SaaS environment on AWS.
  • CI/CD Leadership: Shape and optimise deployment pipelines (Azure DevOps) for seamless delivery from commit to production.
  • Automation First: Champion Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) to enable repeatable, reliable environments.
  • Security Mindset: Embed security into infrastructure and pipelines, applying AWS security tooling and compliance best practices.
  • Observability & Reliability: Deploy monitoring, logging, and incident response systems that ensure fast, resilient uptime.
  • Performance & Scalability: Tune systems for cost-effective performance as usage grows across global markets.
  • Business Continuity: Own disaster recovery and resilience strategies to safeguard customer trust.

Experience

We're looking for engineers who thrive in fast-moving, mission-driven environments:

  • 5+ years in DevOps/Site Reliability/Platform Engineering.
  • Proven success managing commercial SaaS platforms at scale in AWS.
  • Deep AWS expertise (VPC, IAM, CloudFormation, etc.) and IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation).
  • Hands-on CI/CD pipeline design
  • Strong scripting (Bash, Python) and automation skills.
  • Experience with monitoring/logging (CloudWatch, OpenSearch, ELK, etc.).
  • Solid grounding in networking, system administration, and cloud security.
  • Collaborative problem-solver who takes ownership and moves fast.
  • AWS DevOps certifications, containerisation (Docker), or knowledge of security frameworks (CIS, OWASP).

If you're passionate about building secure, scalable platforms and want to join a high-growth fintech on the rise, Salient would love to introduce you.

  • Make an impact: Your work helps safeguard global financial systems.
  • Shape the future: Be hands-on in building a platform that scales with growth.
  • Grow with the company: Structured career progression and technical development support.
  • Work your way: Hybrid flexibility tailored to you.
  • Startup pace, enterprise reach: Enjoy autonomy and speed while working with major industry players.

Apply today and let's explore how your expertise can help shape the future of financial technology.
