We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to support our client on a greenfield projecton a 12 month contract.
About Facto
Facto is a growing Australian IT consultancy specialising in business transformation, technology enablement, and strategic advisory services.
We partner with clients across a range of industries to deliver complex change programs and drive measurable outcomes.
Our consultants are trusted experts who thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
The opportunity
Join the Innovation & Digital Enablement team to design, build, and operate secure, resilient cloud services that power a next-generation talent marketplace.
You'll turn architectural guardrails into working cloud environments, uplift DevSecOps practices, and enable product and data teams to ship faster and safer through automation, observability, and high-quality engineering standards.
What the role does
Cloud architecture & engineering:Implement reference designs across AWS and GCP; build reliable, scalable foundations using serverless and container-based services (ECS Fargate, Lambda, Cloud Run) and service integrations.
Cross-cloud integration:Design and operate OIDC/Workload Identity Federation (WIF) bridging between AWS and GCP — a core pattern in this environment.
You'll be comfortable navigating identity and trust across cloud boundaries daily.
Web infrastructure:Own and evolve DNS, CloudFront distributions, and Webflow-integrated delivery pipelines.
This is a meaningful part of the role, not an afterthought.
DevSecOps & automation:Stand up CI/CD pipelines with testing and security scanning; codify environments with Terraform for repeatable, compliant releases.
Write Lambda and Cloud Run code in TypeScript and Python — this is an engineering role, not just infrastructure configuration.




Security operations (~30% of the role):Run daily cloud posture reviews, triage security findings, manage access governance, and maintain least-privilege IAM across AWS and GCP.
Security isn't a compliance checkbox here — it's embedded in the day-to-day rhythm of the role.
Operations & observability:Instrument services with metrics, logs, and traces; drive availability, performance, and cost optimisation with explicit runbooks.
Cross-functional enablement:Collaborate with Product & Experience, Data, and engineering leads; contribute reusable templates and golden paths; support knowledge transfer across teams.
What the role needs
Depth of practice:~10 years across technology/engineering; 3+ years in senior cloud roles delivering production workloads.
AWS and GCP strength:You are AWS-primary or deeply experienced across both AWS and GCP.
Experience with cross-cloud identity patterns (OIDC, WIF) is a strong differentiator.
Security operations experience:Comfortable with daily posture management, finding triage, and access governance — not just setting controls up and walking away.
Technical breadth:Hands-on with serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, ECS Fargate), CI/CD, Terraform, observability, and platform security.
Able to write production-quality TypeScript and Python.
Outcome mindset:Proven improvements in reliability, performance, and cost, with clear automation and quality gains.
Certifications (valued):AWS or GCP architect/security credentials.
Tooling & tech
Cloud:AWS, GCP
IaC/CI-CD:Terraform; GitHub Actions/GitLab CI; GitOps (Argo CD/Flux)
Languages:TypeScript, Python
Web infrastructure:CloudFront, DNS management, Webflow
Observability:Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry; alerting & runbooks
Security:IAM/OIDC/WIF, secrets management (Vault/Secrets Manager), WAF; policy-as-code (OPA/Kyverno)
