We're looking for a Platform Engineer (Cloud & Security) to join our purpose-led, high-growth scale-up.

And the best bit? You'll get to work with some fantastic work mates.
Future Group values diverse lived experience and identities, and we strongly encourage applications from people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, those with caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, with disabilities, who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those who face social exclusion due to their social class.
We recognise that the recruitment journey may present unique challenges for trans and gender diverse folk, and we are committed to ensuring an inclusive and accessible recruitment process for all. We will happily make any reasonable adjustments to accommodate diverse needs, so if there is anything we can do to support you at any stage of your application, please let us know.

About The Role
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building reliable cloud infrastructure, automating away manual work, and embedding security into modern engineering practices.
Around half of your time will be spent engineering and improving our cloud platform, with the remainder focused on deployment automation, cloud security operations and identity management. You'll work closely with our Senior DevOps Technical Lead and Senior Information Security Manager, giving you the opportunity to deepen your expertise across platform engineering and security while taking increasing ownership of the environment.
You'll be improving the systems our engineering teams rely on every day - not simply maintaining them.
You'll spend your time:
Cloud Platform Engineering (around 50%)
- Build, automate and improve cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code
- Improve platform reliability, resilience and observability
- Reduce technical debt and eliminate manual operational work
- Monitor platform health and respond to infrastructure incidents
- Help evolve secure cloud architecture alongside senior engineers
Security Operations & Compliance (around 20%)
- Investigate and triage security alerts
- Improve detection quality and reduce false positives
- Support ISO 27001 controls, audit readiness and security operations
- Work with engineering teams to remediate security issues
CI/CD & Developer Experience (around 15%)
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment reliability
- Increase automation and deployment confidence
- Strengthen pipeline security and release processes
- Help engineering teams deliver software safely and consistently
Identity & Access Management (around 15%)
- Manage cloud identity and access controls
- Improve provisioning and access management processes
- Maintain secure, repeatable access governance
Our Technology
You'll work with technologies including:
- AWS (with some Azure)
- Terraform & Terraform Cloud
- GitHub Action (CI/CD)
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Datadog
- Darktrace
- Microsoft Purview
- Infrastructure as Code
- ISO 27001
You'll love this job if
- You enjoy building cloud platforms rather than simply maintaining them.
- You automate repetitive work whenever you can.
- You like solving infrastructure problems that improve life for other engineers.
- You enjoy working across cloud engineering and security rather than specialising in only one area.
- You're naturally curious and enjoy continuously learning new technologies.
- You like seeing the direct impact your work has on a growing engineering team.
We're looking for someone who
- Has experience building and supporting cloud infrastructure in AWS and Azure.
- Has worked with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform.
- Has experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar.
- Understands cloud security principles and has exposure to security operations.
- Has experience with monitoring and observability tooling.
- Enjoys automation, continuous improvement and solving operational problems.
- Wants to continue growing across cloud engineering, DevSecOps and platform engineering.
- Believes in Future Group’s mission and has a passion for moving Australia’s money out of fossil-fuels and into renewable energy
- Believes in using the power of money to build a sustainable and equitable world
Don’t tick all the boxes? That’s okay, we like thinking outside the box anyway. We value skills, passion and who you are over what you’ve done or where you’ve studied. So if this job strikes a chord, we want to hear from you!
Why would you enjoy working at Future Group?
- A purpose-driven organisation - spend your days working on making this world a better place! The more we grow, the bigger the impact we are making on climate change and inequality

- The choice to work from home, from one of our co-working spaces, from anywhere within Australia or even from overseas (for a short period of time)
- The potential to own a piece of the Future Group pie with our unique Employee Share Ownership Program (with some fineprint)
- Fun company-wide events
- Progressive, people-focused policies and benefits including Menstrual and Menopausal Leave, Public holidays swaps, Cultural Leave, Self Care Leave and Gender Affirmation Guidelines and Leave
- We offer employee network groups for people from diverse backgrounds: SuperGenders for cisgender women, trans men and women and non-binary folks; SuperGlobal for culturally diverse folks; and SuperPride for LGBTQIA+ folks.
