Platform Engineer building and maintaining the cloud-native core banking platform at 10x Banking, spanning AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, networking, security, data infrastructure, and CI/CD tooling (Go/Python).
We’re on a mission to make banking 10x better.
At 10x Banking ("ten-ex banking") we’re transforming the financial industry with our cloud-native core banking platform.

We offer a diverse, global community that thrives on innovation and collaboration. Tackling exciting challenges with the utmost integrity, we aim to make a positive impact through our work for our clients, their customers and the communities we work in.
Be part of something bigger – join us and transform an industry.
About the role
Platform Engineering provides the foundation for our next generation banking platform, delivering the runtime environment that abstracts our feature teams from the underlying infrastructure.
Our tech stack
The surface area here is broad, this isn't just "something running in Kubernetes". You'll help look after the whole platform, spanning many domains and multiple AWS accounts, so there's always a new corner to dig into.
About you
You know that "perfect is the enemy of great", and that software engineering isn't about admiring problems but about collaborating to find solutions that work.
We believe great communication is one of the best skills you can have, as well as the motivation to learn and achieve results.
We believe diversity of thought is crucial in helping us find broader solutions to tough challenges. We have dedicated teams with bags of experience, so the engineers we recruit can stretch their talents regardless of domain background.
Our stack is wide and, on any given day, almost any part of it might need attention. We're after someone keen to get stuck into whatever comes up, so if you're only interested in one narrow area (say, just CI/CD), this probably isn't the role for you.
About the team
As a Platform Engineer in our Sydney team, you will be part of an open, collaborative, and innovative environment, working on a platform responsible for the money of millions of people.
We value transparency and realism over theatre. Nobody memorises everything, real engineering is figuring things out: reading docs, asking teammates, searching, and increasingly reaching for AI.
We treat AI as a supporting tool, the same way we've always treated a search engine, and we care far more about how you think through a problem than whether you can recite an answer from memory. You'll be trusted to use good judgement about when a tool helps and when it doesn't.
We work flexibly. Rather than mandating three or four days in the office like a lot of companies now do, we choose to come in two days a week, which is a balance that works well for us and one we genuinely enjoy. We treat each other like grown-ups and trust people to do the right thing rather than leaning on hard rules.

10x Ways of Working
We recognise that a better work/life balance can improve people’s motivation, performance and overall wellbeing. The Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things about the way we work, including the enablement of colleagues working from various locations and delivering high performance through the effective use of remote working technology.
10x is a fully ‘remote enabled’ organisation and supports agile working. This role has a minimum office attendance requirement of approx. twice per week, in agreement with your line manager.
As all employees are employed on Sydney based contracts, commuting costs to the office are covered by employees and not by 10x.
Equal opportunities for all
At 10x we are passionate about our people and are committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive culture. We are building a community where every 10xer can bring their authentic self to work and feel empowered to reach their full potential. Our many employee networks help amplify this vision.
Alongside assessing technical capabilities to do the role, our assessment process will identify what you can uniquely bring to our 10x teams, and the potential you have to thrive here. Common to every role that 10xers perform, are 3 core competencies that we look for in our future 10xers – Business Impact, Change Driver & Delivery Excellence
We are committed to ensuring all job applicants are treated equally and fairly and encourage applicants of all ethnicities, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, age, neurodiversity or disability status.
Accommodations
We recognize not everyone is the same. In fact, we embrace difference. If you require any form of accommodation during the interview process, please tell us so we can make arrangements to support. Any information that you provide will be recorded and maintained confidentially.
