How you'll make an impact
As the Lead Platform Engineer, you'll play a critical role in shaping the future of AMP's North Platform, one of Australia's leading wealth platforms. You will own the platform engineering roadmap and drive the reliability, resilience, security and continuous improvement of services that support thousands of advisers and customers. Working across development, SRE, production support, architecture, security and infrastructure teams, you'll ensure the platform remains stable, scalable and fit for the future whilst enabling the delivery of strategic business outcomes.
This role offers the opportunity to influence technology decisions at scale. You'll lead platform modernisation initiatives, drive automation and operational excellence, improve engineering standards, and provide technical leadership across complex enterprise environments. Whether you're strengthening observability, reducing operational risk, leading major incident investigations or improving platform governance, your work will have a direct and measurable impact on service performance, customer outcomes and AMP's technology strategy
What you'll bring to the role
We're looking for an experienced platform engineering professional who combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership and influencing skills. You'll bring a proven track record of owning enterprise platforms, driving engineering uplift initiatives and leading complex technology outcomes in large-scale environments. You will be comfortable operating across cloud, infrastructure, application, database and security domains and have a strong understanding of platform reliability, operational governance, automation and resilience engineering.
Technically, you'll bring strong experience across Microsoft enterprise environments, ideally including Windows Server, IIS, SQL Server and .NET-based applications. Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, deployment automation tools such as Octopus Deploy, and modern platform engineering approaches will be highly valued. You'll be comfortable driving automation, improving operational controls, supporting release readiness and influencing engineering standards across complex technology ecosystems. Experience within Financial Services, Wealth Management or other regulated environments will be advantageous.
You’ll thrive here if…
If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you’ll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.
Because we run lean, you’ll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you’ll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.
If you’re someone that can hold their own, you’ll find AMP quite liberating.
Why we think you’ll love working at AMP
Doing what we’ve always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You’ll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don’t work, we move on – better for it.
We know there’s no one way of doing things. So, you won’t have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We’re inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you’d expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn’t. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.
In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you’ll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.
Whether it’s through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.
We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity
We’re dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers.
We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process.
