Jobs in Sydney, Australia

About the role

We are looking for an Engineering Tech Lead to serve as the technical overseer for this domain. This role requires a pragmatic, battle-tested software engineer. If you have a strong background in enterprise search engines (like Elasticsearch or OpenSearch) or data engineering pipelines, you'll have a massive head start here. While this is a heavily backend-focused infrastructure role, a passing literacy in React/JS/CSS helps keep frontend integrations smooth. Experience with modern cloud observability and monitoring tools (like Dynatrace, DataDog, or AWS CloudWatch) will also make you feel right at home.

What you'll bring

• A solid foundation of 8+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and maintaining complex distributed systems in production.
• Deep production experience with cloud-native AWS environments, specifically serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB), containerized workloads (ECS/Fargate), and Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK or Terraform.
• Proven capability in modern DevSecOps practices, including building and maintaining robust CI/CD automation pipelines and implementing the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• A strong track record of rigorous system design, with a deep understanding of caching strategies, database optimization, web performance tuning, and distributed debugging.
• The technical maturity to evaluate, architect, and safely implement Generative AI workflows (such as RAG and orchestration via AWS Bedrock) without losing sight of cost control and data security.
• Advanced programming skills in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Comfort working in iterative, agile engineering environments that leverage Scrum or Kanban frameworks.
