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.
