Senior Platform Engineer

Melbourne - Hybrid or Remote

About the Opportunity

An Australian technology success story with a growing global customer base, this organisation develops a sophisticated SaaS platform that combines cloud engineering, IoT, AI and data analytics to help major retailers optimise how their businesses operate.

Engineering sits at the heart of the business, with cross-functional teams working in an agile environment where collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement are genuinely encouraged. Rather than working in a heavily layered organisation, you'll have the opportunity to influence technical direction, contribute to architectural decisions and see your ideas make it into production.

With continued investment in platform engineering, automation and AI, it's an exciting time to join a business where engineers are empowered with real ownership, autonomy and the freedom to experiment with modern technologies.

The Role

This is much more than a traditional Platform Engineering role.

Working closely with the CTO and engineering teams across software, DevOps, security, data and hardware, you'll play a key role in building and evolving the platforms that underpin a globally used SaaS product.

You'll remain hands-on across cloud infrastructure, automation, CI/CD and production systems while helping shape engineering standards, platform architecture and the adoption of modern AI-enabled engineering practices. If you enjoy solving complex technical problems, improving the way engineering teams work and mentoring others along the way, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.

The Tech

We're interested in speaking with Platform, DevOps, Cloud or Site Reliability Engineers with experience across some or all of the following:

• AWS and/or Azure cloud environments
• Platform Engineering, DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering
• Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar scripting languages
• CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation
• Docker, Kubernetes or containerised environments
• Observability, monitoring and incident management
• AI-assisted engineering tools and automation
• Security, governance and modern engineering best practices
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction and mentor others

Experience working within SaaS, IoT, retail technology or other high-scale environments would be highly regarded.

What's on Offer

• Join a growing Australian technology company with a global footprint.
• Work in a collaborative, agile engineering culture with genuine autonomy.
• Influence architecture, engineering standards and platform strategy.
• Exposure to modern cloud technologies, automation and AI initiatives.
