If you’re the engineer people call when traffic, routing, mesh, or platform connectivity gets complicated, keep reading.

A high-scale Australian product company with a multi-billion dollar market cap, millions of users, and serious engineering maturity is hiring a Staff Platform Engineer to own and evolve how traffic moves from the internet edge to workloads across cloud and Kubernetes.

This is not a ticket taking platform role.
This is set the direction, raise the bar, build the frameworks level work.

What You’ll Be Doing
You will shape how traffic flows across the entire platform stack:

• Internet edge to Cloudflare to AWS to Kubernetes to Istio
• Secure, scalable, observable traffic patterns
• Service mesh and ingress strategy across clusters
• Platform routing, auth, policy and visibility models
• Self service capabilities that product teams actually enjoy using
• Automation and Infrastructure as Code patterns that remove friction, not add it

Your work becomes the paved road hundreds of engineers build on.

The Kind of Engineer Who Wins Here:

You are not just “good with Kubernetes.”
You have made platform decisions that affected multiple teams and held up over time.

You likely bring:

• Deep Kubernetes experience including architecture, scale, and reliability
• Real Istio or service mesh production experience
• Strong Terraform, Helm, and GitOps capability
• Software engineering strength. You build tooling, not just infrastructure
• A track record improving platform experience for developers
• Staff or principal level technical influence
• Calm judgement in complex distributed systems

Bonus points if you have worked with multi tenant clusters or contributed to CNCF projects.

Why Should You Apply:

• Staff-level scope with platform-wide technical ownership
• Real platform ownership, not partial responsibility
• Modern cloud native stack end to end
• High scale production systems
• Strong engineering culture and technical standards
• Flexible work, performance bonus, and strong benefits
• Problems worth solving and the authority to solve
