The role / impact
This role is about improving the reliability, usability, and integration of internal tools that empower our engineering teams. You will work heavily on the infrastructure powering these tools, with a dedicated focus on scalability, security, and driving automation to provide better governance across the organisation.
Your work directly influences developer productivity, with the goal of saving engineers significant time each week through streamlined processes. By designing robust architectures and implementing resilient solutions, you ensure our internal systems remain fault-tolerant and highly efficient.
The team / how they connect
You will join the Tooling Team, a distributed group of five across Melbourne, Sydney, and Wellington who focus on specific productivity OKRs. The team operates in a full hybrid setup, connecting through regular collaboration while enjoying the flexibility to work in a way that best suits their individual needs.
