Company Description
Showtime Consulting is a leading provider of Shielded Cloud and Digital Solutions across Australia and New Zealand. We specialise in delivering secure, enterprise-scale technology solutions across cloud, data, DevSecOps, platform engineering, and digital transformation programs.
We partner with major organisations to build high-performing technology teams and deliver innovative cloud-native solutions that improve reliability, scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Platform Engineer to join a high-performing platform engineering team supporting enterprise-scale cloud platforms within a highly regulated banking environment.
This is a hands-on role focused on designing, building, and evolving internal developer platforms that enable engineering teams to deliver software securely, efficiently, and at scale. You will play a key role in modernising engineering capabilities through automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud-native technologies, DevOps practices, and developer productivity tooling.
The ideal candidate will bring strong experience across platform engineering, cloud technologies, automation, and software development, with a passion for improving developer experience and enabling high-performing engineering teams through scalable platform solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain internal developer platforms used by multiple engineering teams, with a focus on reliability, security, scalability, and developer experience.
Own and evolve the central engineering toolchain including GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Cloud, GitHub Actions, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub-hosted runners.
Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions for Google Cloud Platform using Terraform and related tools.
Build automation and platform tooling using Python or Java to streamline environment provisioning, configuration management, CI/CD pipelines, and operational processes.
Design, implement, and standardise CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for build, testing, security scanning, release management, and deployment activities.
Collaborate with security, risk, architecture, and engineering teams to embed secure-by-default patterns, policy as code, secrets management, and compliance controls into the platform.
Support onboarding of development teams onto shared platform capabilities and engineering standards.
Monitor platform performance, reliability, availability, and operational costs, implementing proactive improvements and optimisation initiatives.
Implement and maintain observability capabilities including logging, monitoring, metrics, tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards.
Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise to application teams, supporting troubleshooting, architectural decisions, and adoption of platform capabilities.
Contribute to platform roadmaps, backlog management, engineering standards, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Support cloud-native application delivery across containerised and Kubernetes-based environments.
Maintain platform documentation, engineering standards, operational procedures, and reference architectures.
What You'll Need
Experience in Platform Engineering, Software Engineering, DevOps Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or a similar role.
Strong programming skills in Python or Java, including the development of automation tools, platform services, microservices, and engineering utilities.
Hands-on experience designing, building, and supporting Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.
Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Ansible, or similar automation frameworks.
Proven experience developing reusable IaC modules, enforcing engineering standards, and integrating infrastructure provisioning into CI/CD pipelines.
Hands-on experience with GitHub Enterprise or GitHub Cloud, including GitHub Actions, reusable workflows, repository management, and developer enablement initiatives.
Experience implementing and supporting enterprise CI/CD platforms and modern software delivery practices.
Strong understanding of DevOps and SRE principles including automation, continuous delivery, reliability engineering, incident management, observability, and operational excellence.
Experience working within shared platform engineering or developer productivity teams supporting multiple delivery squads.
Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, platform design principles, and engineering best practices.
Experience with containerisation and orchestration technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
Knowledge of cloud security, identity and access management, secrets management, encryption, governance, and compliance controls.
Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Experience supporting banking, financial services, or other highly regulated environments is highly desirable.
Desirable Skills
Experience with GitHub Copilot implementation, governance, and developer productivity initiatives.
Experience developing platform engineering frameworks and self-service developer capabilities.
Knowledge of Policy as Code, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Sentinel, or similar governance frameworks.
Experience with monitoring and observability platforms such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Cloud Monitoring, or Splunk.
Experience with cloud cost optimisation, FinOps practices, and workload management strategies.
Knowledge of security, risk, and compliance requirements within banking or regulated financial services environments.
Experience supporting enterprise-scale cloud transformation and platform modernisation programs.
Understanding of architecture governance, technology standards, and engineering operating models.
Why Join Us?
Work on large-scale platform engineering initiatives supporting enterprise-critical banking services.
Play a key role in shaping the future developer experience across multiple engineering teams.
Gain exposure to modern platform engineering, cloud-native technologies, GitHub Enterprise, and Google Cloud Platform.
Collaborate with experienced cloud, platform, software engineering, security, and architecture professionals.
Influence engineering standards, automation frameworks, developer tooling, and platform strategy.
