Senior Platform Engineer
Join this Australian success story that operates within fintech and be a part of a talented engineering team.
The Role
We’re working with an Australian fintech transforming how over a million Australians manage their retirement savings through a modern superannuation platform.
The business is entering an exciting phase - modernising core infrastructure, scaling AI/ML capabilities on AWS Bedrock, and rebuilding platform foundations to support significant growth. This is a rare opportunity to work on greenfield initiatives within an established product.
As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the infrastructure layer, designing and evolving systems that are scalable, reliable, and highly automated. The role leans heavily toward SRE principles, with a focus on improving reliability and building robust platform tooling—not ticket-driven support work.
About You

- Strong experience in platform engineering / SRE / DevOps roles
- Hands-on expertise with: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform (Infrastructure as Code), Kafka, CI/CD tooling (e.g. Buildkite)
- A strong focus on automation, reliability, and system performance
- Experience operating in lean, high-performing engineering teams
- Ability to take ownership and work autonomously with minimal hand-holding
The Offer
- Work on impactful, large-scale systems used by over a million Australians
- 6-month contract with strong likelihood of extension
- Competitive rate (~$800/day)
- Join a senior, low-ego engineering team that values autonomy
- Remote-friendly within Australia (Sydney office available if preferred)
