Are you the type of person who thrives on helping and fixing problems? These are two brand new roles in the Engineering Uplift Team
Location: Melbourne, 2 Days in the office
Salary: Up to $180k + super (depending on experience)
Team: Of Four work with - wider team are all ex-REA, Zendesk, SEEK, Redbubble, AWS etc
About the Role
We're building a small but impactful Engineering Uplift Team with a clear mission: to make systems across the Group more reliable, secure, understandable, and cost-effective.
You'll partner with two of our sister companies, working directly with their engineering teams to:
* Fix legacy systems and reduce technical debt
* Establish strong ticket hygiene and incident response processes
* Guide architecture and cost optimisation (many systems are more expensive than they should be)
* Lead migration from old-school data centers to cloud-native environments
This is not greenfield work. Think of it as rebuilding Sydney Harbour Bridge while traffic is still crossing it. It's messy, high-stakes, and rewarding.
What You'll Do
* Get hands-on with legacy platforms: .NET, C#, Windows stack, databases, APIs, EDI, FTP, transactional systems
* Triage problems, prioritise fixes, and make pragmatic trade-offs
* Uplift teams by coaching best practices and setting technical standards
* Work across infrastructure, networking, and application layers - full-stack problem solving
* Rotate between firefighting at one company and consultative coaching at another
* Always put security and reliability first
About You
We're looking for someone who thrives on fixing hard problems in complex environments. You're calm under pressure, resilient with tricky personalities, and motivated by making systems better.
* You don't get judgy about messy code (some of the authors are still in the building)
* You can win trust and build rapport even in difficult situations
* You're pragmatic and commercially aware (you know money matters)
* You're "Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction": calm, stylish, and effective under fire
* You've got breadth and depth: hardware, software, networking, infrastructure, cloud migration, and large-scale transactional systems
* You've repaired legacy systems at scale - not just small web apps
* You're a functioning adult who can work independently but knows when to collaborate
Why Join Us
* Work on systems handling 30+ million transactions per year
* Be part of a mission-critical team with guaranteed long-term impact
* Rotate between firefighting and consultative uplift work for variety
* Influence how entire companies design, secure, and run their systems
* Salary up to $180k + super, with flexibility for exceptional candidates
* Work with a mature team who value humility and curiousity
