Staff Infrastructure Platform Engineer

Job summary

Build the shared infrastructure platform that enables Gridsight product teams to ship faster and more safely, while providing secure, observable, dependable foundations for software used by electricity utilities. Own cloud infrastructure, compute, IAM, CI/CD, environments and observability; improve reliability practices, developer experience and AI-assisted delivery, and build SOC 2 controls and evidence into the platform across Australia, New Zealand and the US.

Qualifications

• 8 or more years in software engineering, with recent work at Staff level (or clearly operating at it) in platform, infrastructure or SRE.
• Deep experience running cloud infrastructure in production, including compute, networking, storage, IAM and cost management, with strong infrastructure-as-code skills (AWS and Terraform preferred).
• A track record of building and operating observability platforms that teams actually rely on.
• Hands-on SRE practice: SLOs, error budgets, incident response and runbooks.
• Experience on a platform team in a product engineering organisation, running the platform as a product that teams adopt willingly.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and a habit of setting direction and driving outcomes without close supervision.
• Fluency in the use of AI-assisted development tools - you're already using agentic coding tools, LLM-assisted workflows, or similar to accelerate your work.

Responsibilities

• Build and run our metrics, tracing, logging and alerting platform
• Evolve and consolidate our deployment pipelines, release management and infrastructure-as-code
• Own environment management and test infrastructure
• Design infrastructure that is secure by default, cost-effective and ready for multi-tenant, multi-region delivery across Australia, New Zealand and the US
• Work with IT Ops to build SOC 2 controls and evidence into the platform
• Help define SLOs and error budgets, improve how we respond to and learn from incidents, and take a turn on call
• Seek out their friction, measure their satisfaction, and build tools and abstractions they choose to adopt
• Mentor engineers across teams
• Help set technical direction for platform work across every team, and own a platform roadmap that runs over multiple quarters
