Description

Design the releases platform architecture and canonical release data model across services, environments, artefacts, and actors.
Lead technical decisions around security, reliability, scale, and the immutable evidence trail and policy gate infrastructure.
Drive cross-system integrations with Pipelines and GitHub Deployments.
Ensure the platform can support progressive delivery capabilities without forcing customers to replace existing CD tooling.
Design, build, and scale tools and systems used by engineering teams at large scale.
Solve complex performance, reliability, and scalability challenges across the stack.
Work closely with customers and stakeholders to understand release and governance needs and deliver practical solutions.
Improve developer experience through better tooling, automation, and processes.
Investigate and resolve complex performance and reliability issues across infrastructure, backend services, and data stores.
Share knowledge, mentor engineers, and promote engineering best practices through documentation, pairing, and cross-team collaboration.

Requirements

Proven experience working in production environments at scale, ideally using Go, Ruby on Rails, or similar languages.
Experience designing event-driven or audit-log systems, such as immutable records, event sourcing, or append-only data models.
Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure and deploying complex containerised applications; AWS experience is preferred.
Familiarity with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases, including performance and replication considerations.
Comfort solving challenges in distributed systems, observability, and infrastructure reliability.
Familiarity with CD systems, deployment pipelines, or release orchestration platforms such as Spinnaker, Argo Rollouts, or Flux.
Understanding of progressive delivery patterns, including canary deployments, blue/green deployments, feature flags, health-based promotion, and rollback strategies.
Experience with DORA metrics, release governance, or compliance/audit requirements in regulated or large-scale engineering environments.
Background integrating with source control and CI/CD platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, or Buildkite.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in a remote-first environment.
Ability to distil complex technical concepts into clear explanations for diverse audiences.
A collaborative, pragmatic mindset with comfort mentoring engineers and leading technical discussions across teams.
Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or other infrastructure-as-code tools is a plus.
Familiarity with Kafka, Flink, or other streaming/event-driven systems is a plus.
Background in SRE, systems programming, or Linux/Unix internals is a plus.
Understanding of secure system design and cloud security best practices is a plus.

Benefits

Competitive compensation including salary, equity, and a benefits package.
Flexible, remote-first culture with remote work in the ANZ and PST regions.
Meaningful technical challenges at scale.
Opportunities for professional growth, technical leadership, and cross-team influence.
A collaborative, inclusive, and innovative culture.
Reasonable accommodations and support throughout the recruitment process.
