Description

Create your best future and join Westpac as a Lead Cloud DevOps Engineer - GCP. What’s the role? We are seeking an experienced GCP Lead Cloud DevOps Engineer to lead the design, development, and delivery of a full-stack cloud platform for a major banking client on Google Cloud. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, you will work across platform engineering, full stack application development, and data/AI capabilities to ensure solutions are not only well designed but successfully implemented and running in production. You will play a key role in taking initiatives from concept to deployment, helping engineers navigate complexity, solve problems, and deliver scalable, secure and reliable systems. This is not a pure architecture role, you will be expected to stay close to code, actively contribute to engineering decisions, and drive outcomes end-to-end. What do I need? * Strong hands-on experience delivering production systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, BigQuery, Pub/Sub and Spanner, along with networking, IAM and security controls. * Solid software engineering skills, with experience in Java, Python or Go, and a strong understanding of microservices, distributed systems, APIs and event-driven architectures. You should be comfortable working in complex environments and debugging and scaling systems in production. * Experience or exposure to data platforms and AI/ML services such as Vertex AI, GECX. * Deep familiarity with GCP services such as GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, BigQuery and Pub/Sub. * Strong experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools. * Experience with CI/CD, containerisation, Kubernetes and modern DevOps practices. * Experience working in regulated environments (banking/financial services preferred). * Strong leadership mindset with a focus on execution, ownership and delivery outcomes. Why join us? We’re obsessed with becoming our customers' #1 banking partner for life and we’re looking for people who are passionate about helping us achieve that goal. In return, we’re committed to making Westpac the best place to work in the country. Here are just a few of the ways we’re already doing that: * Special offers on banking products and discounts from top brands, including generous employee-only mortgage rates! * Flexible work arrangements to help you achieve a greater work/life balance, and a variety of leave options including Culture, Lifestyle and Wellbeing leave. * Tailored learning and development opportunities to help your grow your career within the bank. * Lots of opportunities to ‘give back’ to the Community by getting involved in our many volunteering initiatives.
