Our client is in the middle of a major cloud transformation, and they’re looking for a Platform Technology Lead to define how platform engineering is done across the organisation - influencing multiple teams, shaping standards, and making platforms secure, reliable, and reusable at enterprise scale.

The role is around 30/40% hands on, and the rest will be stakeholder engagement & architecture work. 

It is a Brisbane based role (Happy to consider Sydney too) and 50% work from home and 50% office work.

It is paying up to $200,000 inclusive of super and up to a 15% bonus. (Lots of other benefits I can run through too).

What you’ll do:
  • Shape how platform teams design and consume cloud and infrastructure platforms
  • Zoom out to understand the bigger picture & the why, not just the implementation detail
  • Turn standards and reference architectures into real IaC (Terraform at scale)
  • Be the technical authority people escalate to when decisions get complex
  • Help balance speed, security, and governance in code, not committees
Who we’re looking for:
  • Senior Platform / Cloud / Infrastructure engineer at Lead level
  • Strong experience in Terraform + AWS or Azure
  • Deep infrastructure knowledge (networks, identity, compute, storage)
  • Able to influence engineers, architects, and stakeholders without line management
  • Enterprise-scale thinking, with a pragmatic, hands-on approach
Why it’s genuinely different:
  • Real influence across multiple teams and platforms
  • Enterprise-scale problems while still being hands-on
  • A role that builds serious career capital for your next Lead or Principal move
