Job Description

The team

As a part of the Cloud Enablement team, we address common cloud engineering challenges enabling teams to innovate and deliver solutions at speed and scale.

You will do plenty of hands-on coding and also have opportunities to help shape broader patterns and practices through the tools and platforms we design and implement across SEEK.

The team consists of Platform Engineers, Software Engineers and FinOps analysts who play an important role to keep our cloud platform reliable, secure and optimised. We provide the building blocks to solve problems once for SEEK. We provide guidance to make it easier for teams to use cloud technology, supporting faster, more independent delivery and business transformation. The Senior Platform Engineer reports to the Engineering Manager in the Cloud Enablement team.

About the role

SEEK is at an exciting and pivotal moment in its cloud journey. As an organisation with a highly advanced and battle-tested AWS foundation, we are now looking to expand our cloud platform to include Google Cloud Platform, and this is your opportunity to be the expert who helps us build the foundations.

As a Senior Platform Engineer in our Cloud Enablement team, you will be a driving force behind building SEEK's GCP capability from the ground up, establishing the patterns, guardrails, and platforms that will define how SEEK engineers build and deliver on GCP for years to come. Your expertise won't just be valued here; it will be foundational.

What makes this chance stand out:

- Build something that lasts. You won't be maintaining someone else's work — you'll be architecting and shaping SEEK's GCP platform from its earliest stages, leaving a genuine engineering legacy across the organisation.
- Be the GCP authority. In a team and organisation with deep, sophisticated AWS expertise, your GCP knowledge will be highly sought after. You'll be the go-to voice helping SEEK make smart,



informed decisions as we grow our multi-cloud capability and unlock the full potential of GCP.
- Breadth and depth. With exposure across infrastructure, security, AI/ML, networking, and FinOps, this role offers a rare combination of hands-on engineering and strategic platform influence — rarely found in a single role.
- Work at scale that matters. SEEK connects millions of job seekers and hirers across Asia Pacific. The platforms you build will underpin products and teams operating at genuine, meaningful scale.
- Expand your own horizons. If you're deeply skilled in GCP, this role also gives you the opportunity to grow your multi-cloud fluency — working alongside some of the most experienced AWS engineers in the region and gaining exposure to one of the most advanced cloud environments in Australia.

SEEK is a place where strong engineers are given the trust and autonomy to do their best work. If you're passionate about cloud platforms, thrive on solving hard problems, and want to play a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of SEEK's cloud strategy — we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable cloud infrastructure on GCP using Terraform.
- Develop and manage CI/CD pipelines in Buildkite to support engineering teams with fast, safe, and automated deployments.
- Act as a subject matter expert and internal consultant for platform and infrastructure decisions, partnering with product engineering teams.
- Define and uphold platform engineering standards, including security, networking, observability, and cost optimisation best practices.
- Identify and drive infrastructure improvements, proactively reducing toil through automation and tooling.
- Respond to and resolve platform incidents, contributing to post-incident reviews and implementing preventative measures. This role does have an on-call support component
- Mentor and uplift the broader engineering community on cloud and infrastructure best practices.
- Manage and optimise GCP costs, providing visibility and recommendations to engineering and leadership stakeholders.
