$180k + super + bonus
Sydney CBD | 5 days on-site
🚀 The Opportunity
This is not your typical “reset passwords and fix laptops” role.
We’re working with a high-growth tech business going through a full AI-led transformation. Think smarter workflows, connected systems, less noise, more signal.
They’re looking for a Platform Engineer (Internal Tooling) to design and optimise the internal ecosystem that powers the entire company.
Every tool. Every workflow. Every integration.
You’re not here to react to tickets.
You’re here to build the engine behind how the business runs.
🧠 What You’ll Be Doing
- Architect and evolve the internal tooling ecosystem across the business
- Design how platforms connect: comms, CRM, support, project tools, automation layers
- Lead tool consolidation and standardisation (cut the chaos, keep what works)
- Drive adoption and best practices across teams
- Own identity, access, and governance across all systems (SSO, RBAC, IAM)
- Partner with leadership to optimise workflows across CX, Sales, Marketing, Finance
- Build and integrate AI-powered and automated workflows (n8n, APIs, etc.)
- Deliver continuous improvement projects that actually move the needle
🛠️ Tech & Tools (Typical Stack)
- Google Workspace / Office 365 (migration experience a big plus)
- Slack (admin, governance, integrations)
- ClickUp, Jira, Confluence (or similar)
- HubSpot, Intercom (nice to have)
- n8n / Zapier / automation tooling
- SSO, IAM, RBAC (SAML, OIDC)
- MDM tools (NinjaOne, Jamf, Intune etc.)
- API integrations (REST, webhooks, OAuth)
Stack is flexible — mindset and capability matter more.
🔥 What Makes You Stand Out
- You’ve worked in a scaling tech environment (not slow enterprise)
- You think like a platform architect, not IT support
- You’ve built or redesigned internal tooling ecosystems
- You’re strong on automation and integration thinking
- You can balance technical depth + business understanding
- You communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical teams
⚡ Key Traits
- Proactive, not reactive
- Builder, not ticket-closer
- Systems thinker, not tool-by-tool operator
- Commercially aware — understands impact of efficiency
🚫 Not the Right Fit
- Pure IT support / helpdesk backgrounds
- People who only follow tickets
- Heavy process, low execution operators
- Candidates who avoid ownership
🤖 Why This Role Is Different
- You’ll be part of a genuine AI transformation (not just buzzwords)
- You’ll shape how the entire company operates internally
- High visibility with leadership
- Real autonomy — no layers of bureaucracy
- A chance to build something that actually scales with the business
💡 The Reality
You’ll walk into an environment with:
- Multiple tools
- Some duplication
- Some friction
And you’ll turn it into:
- A clean, connected internal platform
- Smarter workflows
- Less manual work
- More automation
