Senior Platforms Engineer
The Onset
Posted 1 day ago
Are you tired of browsing jobs building internal platforms just to ship more ads or optimise a checkout button?
This isn’t that.
You’ll build internal platforms for products used by defence, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure teams around the world, to save lives.
Sick of shipping internal tooling that never gets used? Tired of pushing DevOps best practices into teams that don’t really care?
Here, your work lands. Instantly.
You’ll work alongside engineers building AI, sensor fusion and autonomous systems, developing the kind of infra and automation they can’t live without. The feedback loop is fast, the impact is obvious, and the stakes are real.
You’ll be part of a tight-knit Platforms team that’s all about enablement. The focus is on crafting smart workflows, automating the painful stuff, and helping product teams move faster in highly secure environments, including airgapped systems.
You’ll have deep input into tooling choices, architecture, and how things get done. There’s no legacy hell, no death-by-process, and no pressure to do things on the cheap.
Pick the best tool. Build the best system. Move on.
If you come from a sysadmin or DevOps background and you’re craving more ownership, more purpose, and more interesting tech, this is it.
You’ll get stuck into Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, containerisation, and networking across truly unique environments.
The team values hands-on builders who can think strategically, mentor others, and set the tone for how platform engineering is done at scale.
You’ll build something that doesn’t exist anywhere else in Australia. With $250m raised last year and no signs of slowing down, you’ll be solving problems that can’t be Googled.
The industry is moving fast, and so will you. That means your work is never stale. There’s always something new to learn, something harder to solve, and something meaningful to ship.
And yeah, it helps that what you build actually helps protect people. Not in the metaphorical, “we’re making the world better with a new buy now pay later tool” way. Literally.
If that sounds like the kind of challenge you’d run towards, let’s talk.
