Cloud Platform Engineer

About Ferocia

We're the team behind Up, but under the hood, we're Ferocia - a passionate tech company driven by financial inclusion. Since 2011, we've been crafting innovative financial tools, starting with the digital platform for Bendigo Bank. We believe technology can empower everyone, from the advantaged to the disadvantaged, which is why Up was born.

Now, as part of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank family, we combine the agility of a small company with the reach and stability of a major player. Together, we're carbon neutral, community-focused, and dedicated to high standards of corporate governance. Our mission? To leverage technology to help Australians move from financial stress and anxiety to a place of confidence and empowerment.

The role

At Ferocia, we're building innovative financial solutions in the cloud, and we're looking for a passionate and driven Cloud Platform Engineer to join our growing team. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact, working on cutting-edge projects from the ground up as we uplift and improve Bendigo Bank’s e-Banking platform. There will also be exciting opportunities to work on Up’s entirely cloud-native infrastructure and help us scale for the future. If you're eager to learn, contribute, and thrive in a dynamic environment, we want to hear from you!

What you'll do

• Build and maintain Up’s cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), focusing on security and scalability.
• Uplift and improve Bendigo Bank’s e-Banking cloud infrastructure on a mixture of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• Contribute to the development and deployment of cloud-native applications.
• Collaborate with a team of experienced engineers to design and implement robust, secure, and efficient solutions.
• Bring your unique perspective and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our team's culture.
• Learn and grow alongside senior engineers, expanding your skills and expertise in cloud technologies.

Challenges you'll tackle

• Large scale migration: We want to leverage our past successes with Up and apply them to the Bendigo Bank e-Banking platform. You will be working on high-value initiatives that have a tangible customer impact.
• Building secure systems from the ground up: Security is paramount at Ferocia, and you'll play a crucial role in ensuring our platform is robust and protected.
• Working in a fast-paced environment: We're constantly evolving and innovating, which means you'll need to be adaptable and comfortable with change.
• Contributing to a growing team: As we scale, you'll have the opportunity to shape our processes and best practices.

What we're looking for

• Essential:
  • Proven experience building cloud-native products (GCP preferred).
  • A strong focus on security best practices.
  • 3-4 years of overall experience, with a solid foundation in cloud engineering.
• Nice-to-haves (we can help you learn these):
  • Experience with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

6-12 months from now

• You'll be actively contributing to the delivery of key projects, making a tangible impact on our product roadmap.
• You'll be a valued member of the team, bringing your own unique skills and perspective.
• You'll have grown your technical skills and expertise, taking advantage of mentorship opportunities and challenging projects.

Working at Ferocia

We have a hybrid work culture where people can attend the Ferocia office as much or as little as makes sense for them, but we are currently only hiring in Melbourne (or adjacent areas) as we still value physically getting together at least a half-dozen times per year.

We offer:

• A small team of passionate people
• Generous leave and parental policy
• Flexible working schedule
• Great city office and perks (rooftop, gym and personal trainer, games…)
• Budget for personal development, training, and conferences
• Employee Assistance Program via Sonder
• Home loan rebates for our loans (conditions apply)
• Ongoing equity grants (conditions apply)

Not quite ticking every box? Throw your hat in the ring anyway! At Ferocia, we're all about shaking things up and rewriting the rules. We thrive on diversity and inclusion, and we wholeheartedly encourage you to step up and shine. Let us be the judge of your qualifications for this role – you just might surprise yourself!
