mx51 is a payments-as-a-service solution for banks, non-bank acquirers, and other merchant service providers. We are building a payment platform that allows merchants to accept payments in-store, in-app and online, whilst consolidating all their data on a real-time business management dashboard.

We have an exciting DevOps Engineer role within our infrastructure team, we’re looking for someone to help us scale our operations and to further compliment the team’s skills and experience. This role will be ideal for an Engineer who enjoys collaboration with different business areas, enjoys learning (self-learning included) and is seeking a role which encourages innovation.

We’re looking for someone who’s keen to learn and grow with us in the Site Reliability Engineering/DevOps space. Using a best in class AWS stack centred around Kubernetes (EKS) and Go microservices, CI/CD driven, and using great tools like Terraform, join a team that makes a true impact.

We're a remote first organisation, with the rest of the team based in Sydney. As a location, Sydney would be our preference but we are also open to people working across Australia and New Zealand. If you're working remote, we just ask that you commit to meeting with the team in Sydney 3-4 times a year.

Are you curious to learn more about how our tech team works, our tech stack or what we do day to day? We've shared our Technology Handbook here: https://mx51.tech/handbook


A bit more of the detail:

  • Augment and improve our applications’ and platforms’ monitoring and observability capabilities
  • Ensure our runtime platforms on EKS remain healthy
  • Identify bottlenecks for scale and research alternative technologies
  • Enrich our Infrastructure-as-code repository with new functionality and improvements
  • Automate build and release processes through build pipelines
  • Rotate responsibilities as SRE/Devops BAU role during business hours for internal issues/blockers

What we'd love to see in an applicant (but don't be put off if you don't have everything):

  • Experience monitoring and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems running on Kubernetes
  • Demonstrated experience with cloud computing vendors and services
  • Advanced networking on Linux platforms/containers
  • Experience automating everything through pipelines e.g. Azure DevOps and Github
  • Experience with Kubernetes as an end-user/developer
  • Proficient writing Terraform modules and implementations
  • Experience working with a strong security mindset when building systems/processes

Nice to have (but certainly not essential):

  • Previous experience in the fintech industry or a fast-growth technology company
