Sobre este puesto de Senior Cloud Engineer en Wisr
How will you make an impact?
Our platform handles sensitive financial data for hundreds of thousands of Australians. That means the infrastructure we run must be secure, reliable, resilient and fast. The engineer who owns it must be exceptional. That's where you come in.
Reporting directly to the Head of Technology, you will be the technical authority for Wisr's cloud infrastructure and platform engineering discipline. You'll own the reliability, security posture and scalability of our infrastructure, working across cloud providers with full autonomy to make and execute architectural decisions that matter.
You'll set direction, shape standards, and work closely with product engineers to ensure everything we ship is built on infrastructure they can trust.

Design and evolve our multi-cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS and GCP)
-
Maintain platform reliability, building scaling systems, automation and optimisation of our technology stack.
-
Champion infrastructure-as-code practices across the organisation, using IaC tools (Pulumi) to manage the lifecycle of underlying Azure resources and deploying applications on top of it.
-
Build and maintain an internal developer platform that enables engineers to ship faster and with greater confidence.
-
Define and own SLOs, own standards for CI/CD, environment management, containerisation, and observability.
-
Continuously seek and implement automation opportunities, leveraging modern SRE tools to automate operational tasks, speeding up delivery of applications and services thereby increasing team efficiency and the SRE process for our squads.
-
Monitor, detect and address system issues by creating strategies and designing systems to automatically troubleshoot.

-
Work closely with the Cybersecurity squad to create a comprehensive Disaster Recovery strategy and perform periodic DR drills.
-
Lead incident response and post mortems with a blameless, systems-thinking mindset. Eliminate toil through automation and champion operational maturity across the engineering organisation.
-
Embed security across the entire software delivery lifecycle and not as an afterthought, driving a zero-trust architecture.
-
Manage external vendor relationships and ongoing subscriptions related to the platform.
