Senior Software Engineer, Platforms & Cloud

dentsu is a network designed for what’s next, helping clients predict and plan for disruptive future opportunities and create new paths to growth in a sustainable economy.

As a unified organisation, dentsu brings together deep expertise across media, creative and customer experience to deliver integrated solutions that drive meaningful progress for clients and society.

Our data and technology team is responsible for building and maintaining industry leading solutions to support marketing, media buying, creative, and customer experience teams to create more meaningful impact.

As Senior Software Engineer, you’ll join our Cloud and Platforms Engineering team on a new programme of work to build a portfolio of AI-driven marketing products that that will deliver value for our clients.

The ideal candidate will have expert knowledge of software architecture and delivery, being able to take ownership of a portfolio of work, a platform or a set of related services, and be accountable for it running in production.

This includes setting the patterns and standards that other engineers build within and deciding what is built once and shared rather than repeatedly and bespoke.

Much of what the team builds must work both on dentsu infrastructure and inside a client’s own cloud, so portability, security and cost are design considerations rather than afterthoughts.

You will own reliability, security posture and cloud cost across their estate, mentors the engineers around them, and contributes to hiring as the team grows.

This is a hands-on role.

The seniority is in scope and judgement, not in distance from the code, and there will not be a team in place from day one, so the role leads by building.

This is a permanent role, working on a hybrid model in Melbourne or Sydney.
