The posting

Job Title: Platform Engineer

Location (including hybrid): Melbourne, Australia

Salary: $125,000 - $145,000 + Superannuation

Team: Platform Engineering

Reporting To: Software Engineering Manager

Kaluza reimagines energy to bring net-zero within everyone's reach. Our intelligent Platform enables energy utilities to unlock the full value of a radically changing energy system and propel us to a future where renewable energy is sustainable, affordable and accessible for all.

From automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system.

We champion a flexible, hybrid work approach and we find that teams often benefit from coming together in the office at least 3 days a week to foster connection and accelerate progress.

Outside of these collaborative opportunities, we aim to be as flexible as possible to balance work with life. As a company we come together annually for our conference and end of year celebrations!

Our goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia. We're well on our way, but until we get there we still have some reliances on our UK team. Being comfortable working flexibly for a portion of your working week to cover time zones is required.

What will I be doing?

You’ll play a pivotal role in building and evolving our internal developer platform in order to empower our software teams. Your work will impact how our developers use cloud infrastructure, help teams to eliminate infrastructure toil, improve engineering productivity, reinforce security safeguards and constantly strive for greater cost efficiencies in operations.

  • Engineering Foundations: Engineering a scalable, reliable and developer friendly platform to promote seamless software development, deployment and operations.
  • Automation & Tooling: Develop tools to abstract the complex aspects of the platform from developers to improve developer experience and operational efficiency.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Use tools like Terraform, Helm and Crossplane to manage and automate provisioning of all cloud infrastructure and champion GitOps best practices.
  • Monitoring & Observability: Establish robust monitoring and logging foundations collaborating with the wider Site Reliability Engineering Function.
  • Security & Reliability: Incorporate security best practices, ensure compliance, and participate in the out-of-hours on-call rota to troubleshoot and prevent recurrent issues.
  • Stakeholder Coordination: Foster strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate upgrades and hold service providers accountable.

About You

Ideally you'll have/be:

  • Experience building and shipping production applications.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a curiosity to solve problems.
  • Experience using cloud platforms like AWS (preferred), Google Cloud, or Azure.
  • A strong desire to (or experience in) creating and maintaining Kubernetes clusters in production.
  • A solid foundational understanding of distributed systems.
  • Experience with CI/CD, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code technologies.

Where you'll work

We offer flexible working, with a requirement of 3 days a week in the office. This gives us the best of both: real time together to collaborate and build relationships, with the flexibility to work in the way that suits you best the rest of the week.

Kaluza Values

Here at Kaluza we have five core values that guide us as a business: Play to win, Solve the real problem, Build trust every day, Own the outcome, Go further together

From us you'll get

Currently, from day one, you will get:

  • Progressive leave policies - including leave dedicated to the moments that matter to you the most
  • Annual discretionary bonus
  • Dedicated personal learning and home office budgets
  • Flexible working — 3 days in our CBD Melbourne (WeWork) office
  • 26 days holiday
  • Novated Leasing
  • Purchase Leave

We want the best people

We're keen to meet people from all walks of life — our view is that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We want to build teams which represent a variety of experiences, perspectives and skills, and we recognise talent on the basis of merit and potential.

We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
