Platform Engineer

• Cloud Platform Engineer
• Sydney
• Contract 6+ Months

Our client in Sydney is looking for Cloud Platform Engineer this is a contract for 6+ months. Please email me at [email protected] for more information.

Required Skills:

• Platform Engineering (Product Mindset)

Designs and operates internal platforms as products, focused on developer experience, onboarding speed, adoption, and measurable delivery outcomes rather than ticket-driven DevOps support.

• Cloud & Infrastructure as Code (AWS-first)

Strong experience building and operating multi-account AWS platforms using modular, versioned IaC (Terraform preferred), with secure defaults and automated enforcement.

• Golden Paths & Standardized Delivery

Creates opinionated, reusable building blocks such as service templates, CI/CD pipeline primitives, Kubernetes baselines, and observability packages with clear upgrade and escape-hatch strategies.

• Self-Service & GitOps Automation

Enables teams through APIs, CLIs, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD), reducing manual approvals and support load while maintaining guardrails.

• Containers & Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Platforms

Deep understanding of containerized workloads, Helm-based deployments, and platform-level Kubernetes controls for isolation, quotas, and scalability across many teams.

• Secure-by-Default Architecture

Embeds security via policy-as-code, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and software supply chain controls so compliant paths are the easiest paths.

• Reliability, Observability & Operations

Treats reliability as a platform feature, implementing SLOs, error budgets, standardized logging/metrics/tracing, safe rollouts, and incident learning loops.

• Automation, Communication & Enablement

Builds productized automation using Python/Shell, writes clear documentation, and influences teams through paved roads, examples, and education—not tribal knowledge.

All candidates should have full working rights in Australia.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for this role.
