  • Proficiency with
    Infrastructure as Code
    tools like Terraform or Pulumi
  • Deep understanding of

  • Solid CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD, etc.)
  • Strong knowledge of
    monitoring, logging, and observability
    (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
  • A passion for improving the lives of developers and creating reliable, scalable systems
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Work Eligibility

  • You
    must be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
  • This is a
    Sydney-based
    role with a flexible hybrid work model

Why Join?

  • Work at a
    top-tier tech unicorn
    with a global impact
  • Be part of a high-performing team solving real engineering problems
  • Strong internal engineering culture with modern tech and autonomy
  • Competitive salary, equity, and employee benefits
