Cloud Architect | Sydney | Up to $230k + Super | Hybrid

Tired of firefighting and buzzword bingo? Here’s a rare chance to sink your teeth into something real: future-proofing cloud infrastructure at scale for a mid-sized international fintech that’s building for the long haul.

This isn’t another "leadership role" where you’re stuck in meetings all day. This is architecture done properly - deep, hands-on, technical thinking focused on automation, resilience, and Kubernetes-first architecture inside AWS. You’ll lead two SREs, but your primary mission is technical design, not people wrangling.

The gig:

Architect and evolve large-scale AWS infrastructure - future-proofed, not just patched.

Set standards across Kubernetes, DevOps, and automation.

Embed security, reliability, and cost-efficiency by design - not as afterthoughts.

Stay hands-on with architecture, pipelines, container orchestration, and recovery strategies.

Work hybrid (3 days onsite in Sydney, the rest wherever you're most productive).

The wishlist:

Deep AWS chops - if you have to Google basic services, this won’t suit you.

Mastery of Kubernetes and containerised environments.

Automation experience - think Terraform, Ansible, Python - and the scars to prove it.

A calm, strategic mind - not just a tech gunslinger.

Strong networking fundamentals (DNS, routing, firewalls - the lot).

What’s in it for you?

A $230k + super salary.

A culture that values technical excellence over noise and chaos.

Room to do serious, long-term architecture - not just slap band-aids on outages.

Flexible hybrid working, solid leadership support, and real ownership of outcomes.

Sick of half-built tech stacks and panicked midnight deployments?
Ready to design infrastructure that actually lasts?
