Posted on Mar 6, 2026
The AI SDLC Developer Productivity and Enablement team builds and maintains the source control, CI/CD, and developer productivity products that run on top of the organisation’s platform infrastructure. We enable engineering teams to deliver software efficiently by providing customised automation, maintaining self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, creating reusable workflow templates, and ensuring integrations are seamlessly maintained so business application teams can plug in to their day-to-day delivery. The team is driving the adoption of agentic engineering principles into developer workflows, bringing the organisation into new ways of working shaped by AI.
At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

Your expertise will span both the platform infrastructure and the developer productivity layers that sit on top of it. You will design and implement scalable Kubernetes infrastructure, including cluster lifecycle management, resource optimisation, and security hardening, while also owning the SCM, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling that engineering teams rely on daily. You will apply agentic engineering principles as a core part of your daily workflow to deliver quality, maintainable solutions. As a senior engineer, you will set technical direction, mentor team members, and drive architectural decisions that balance reliability, security, and developer experience. Collaborating closely with development teams, you will identify pain points, design customised automation, and deliver self-service solutions that streamline the path from code to production.

  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes and Linux, including network fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, high availability, firewalls) and hands-on experience operating clusters at scale
  • Strong proficiency with GitHub Actions, including designing and maintaining custom runners and authoring reusable workflows for large engineering organisations
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Golang and Python, and shell scripting, with the ability to develop custom controllers, operators, and platform tooling
  • Proven experience managing declarative GitOps CD using ArgoCD and Infrastructure as Code at scale
  • Demonstrated ability and enthusiasm for agentic engineering using tools such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot with proper engineering discipline
  • Solid understanding of container security, network policies, and observability and logging tools such as Grafana and Splunk, with experience establishing platform-wide standards
  • Ability to use AI agents as collaborative partners across the full development lifecycle - design, implementation, testing, and review, not as a shortcut that bypasses engineering rigour
  • Ability to ensure AI-assisted output meets the same standards as hand-written code: proper test coverage, code review, documentation, and production readiness
  • Ability to write clear specifications, context, and constraints that direct AI agents to produce high-quality, maintainable solutions rather than throwaway prototypes
  • Continuous learning mindset and able to stay current with rapidly evolving agentic tooling and techniques, actively experimenting with new models and integrations to improve team productivity
  • Ability to apply engineering judgment to validate, test, and refine AI-generated code and configurations before they reach production environments.
