Let’s introduce ourselves  

We’re a venture-scaler powered by CommBank. That means we build, buy, and invest in startups that could benefit the bank’s 15 million customers and beyond.  

  

Because of what we do, we’re really neither corporate, nor startup – instead we’re happily navigating the space between both worlds. We're close enough to benefit from the bank’s strategy, scale, and stability, but separate enough that we have the autonomy to try new things.  

  

What it’s like to work here  

We’re a community of galvanisers, thinkers, and doers. People from different backgrounds who come together in a brilliant collision of careers, ideas, and expertise. We know what we’re trying to achieve isn’t easy, but we're up for the challenge.   

We're also part of something bigger. As part of CommBank, we never lose sight of the impact we can have on people’s lives, and the role that each of us plays in shaping the bank of the future.   

We’re guided by three values: care, courage, and commitment.   

This means we're led by both head and heart. We’re aware, attuned, and always act to help others. We’re more than just job titles and we don’t hide the human stuff, either.   

We lead with grit and grace. We have a big bold vision, which so far no-one has nailed (including us). That excites, rather than deters us.  And whatever happens, we always find a way. We're tenacious, resilient and we do what's right – even if it's hard.  

  

Where would you fit?

On the Platform Operations team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale unique to x15 ventures, while using your expertise in coding, communication, operations and risk. 

Our team brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects while striving to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow. 

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Engineer in our Platform Operations team with knowledge of automating Azure Cloud environments using Infrastructure as Code with a DevOps mindset.

Day to day you will:

  • Be primarily responsible for designing and developing inhouse Azure IaC platform stack.

  • Help our ventures implement and build on Azure platform using above stack.

  • Where needed, you should be able to work with AWS cloud, application code and developing proof of concepts.

  • Demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and technical troubleshooting.

  • Optimise cloud resources to ensure cost-effectiveness and high availability.

  • Get a chance to apply and promote best patterns and practices.

Are you a perfect match?

We use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. We don’t expect you to know them all but experience or exposure with some of these (or equivalents) will set you up for success in this team:

  • 3-5 years’ experience with deploying and running applications on Azure. AWS experience is a plus.

  • Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (IAC): using Bicep and/or Terraform.

  • Experience with cloud well architected frameworks.

  • Understanding of networking, firewalls, and security architecture.

  • Expertise in CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD

  • Experience with scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Bash).

  • Strong skills and experience in at least one modern programming language preferably JavaScript/Typescript

  • Relevant Cloud certifications will be considered.

What’s in it for you? 

At x15, we’re building ventures in a way that’s never been done before. Part of pioneering a new way of working means there’ll be ambiguity, experimentation and limitless opportunity. This will invigorate you.  

  

We promise challenge in spades but believe this delivers intellectual stretch, growth, learning, and development. Working on things you’re truly passionate about, you’ll be exposed to big decision making and your work and actions will be on display.    

  

Some benefits to keep in mind:  

  • We offer flexible work options to support your well-being in the role 

  • We pay generous equal parental leave - understanding there’s more to life than work  

  • We celebrate an authentic team culture and promote collaboration, innovation and general mucking in  

  • You can choose your own adventure, with amazing development and career progression programs to help you grow  

  • We support hybrid working and have a beautiful base at South Eveleigh - a brand new state-of-the-art precinct that is part of Sydney’s wider technology community 

We value a diverse range of backgrounds and ideas and know this is fundamental for our future success.   

So, if you have the curiosity to learn and the willingness to teach what you know, we’d love to hear from you. 

If you're already part of the Commonwealth Bank Group (including Bankwest, x15ventures), you'll need to apply through Sidekick to submit a valid application. We’re keen to support you with the next step in your career.
