About the role

Platform Engineer Wellington | Permanent
🚀 Build it. Improve it. Make an impact.
We’re looking for an Intermediate Platform Engineer who’s been around the block a few times, who has a few tricky incidents under their belt, and still enjoys coming back for more. 😅
You’ll help shape and improve an internal developer platform, with a strong focus on reliability, security, performance and cost efficiency.
What you’ll be doing

  • Help shape and evolve the internal developer platform
  • Build, maintain and optimise AWS infrastructure
  • Automate the boring stuff and streamline developer workflows
  • Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
  • Support and optimise AWS ECS Fargate
  • Strengthen monitoring, observability and platform performance
  • Build tools, guardrails and documentation that make developers’ lives easier
  • Keep the platform reliable, scalable and secure
  • Spot infrastructure risks and help put smart solutions in place
  • Keep an eye on cloud usage and find opportunities to optimise costs
  • Partner with developers and technical leaders to shape the future of the platform
What you’ll bring
  • Strong software engineering, automation and operations experience
  • Solid Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure and core cloud services
  • Terraform experience
  • Experience building and improving CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong GitHub Actions experience
  • Experience with monitoring, observability and performance tooling
  • A good understanding of reliability, security and performance
  • Great communication skills and a collaborative approach
Why this role? This is a chance to become a key person in the team, with genuine ownership and a voice in how the platform evolves.
You’ll work with an awesome team, in a flexible environment where good ideas actually get heard. No shouting into the corporate void required. 😎
If you enjoy solving tricky infrastructure problems, automating the boring stuff and building platforms developers actually want to use, this could be a great fit.
🇳🇿 Working Rights You must have valid working rights in New Zealand to be considered for this role. 😉
