About the job

Join the dynamic Engineering Platforms group at SEEK as a Staff Platform Engineer. Within Team Automat, you'll play a crucial role in developing the interface that connects SEEK’s cloud infrastructure with application engineers. Your work will transform complex cloud capabilities into an intuitive build, deploy, and operational experience for our core applications.

Our goal is to simplify application delivery, making it straightforward and predictable. Application engineers should not have to navigate the intricacies of Kubernetes, cloud primitives, IAM, or networking. Team Automat consolidates these complexities into well-defined platforms, workflows, and golden paths that empower teams to deliver confidently and expedite their delivery to customers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Platform Interfaces: Create and enhance intuitive interfaces for engineers, including CLI tools, dashboards, and APIs.

  • Automation & Developer Tools: Develop tools that streamline the process for engineers to create, understand, and manage systems on the platform.

  • Platform Guidance & Standards: Provide best practices and recommendations to ensure a high-quality developer experience across SEEK.

  • Reliability & Resilience: Guarantee the reliability, observability, and maintainability of platform services in alignment with SEEK’s engineering standards.

  • Continuously enhance the methods by which we build, ship, and operate software across SEEK’s cloud environments.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to provide senior technical leadership within the Automat team. In this pivotal role, you will guide the design, evolution, and management of our Kubernetes-based platform infrastructure, shaping how SEEK engineers build, deploy, and maintain their services. Your passion for enhancing developer experience through collaborative platform solutions and scalable engineering practices will be essential to our success.

Bring your deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, a solid foundation in modern software engineering practices, and a commitment to mentoring others. You’ll play a significant role in defining our platform strategy, building tools and frameworks that enhance developer experience, and ensuring our systems are secure, reliable, and scalable.

This position offers a broad impact across multiple engineering teams and domains at SEEK.
