Hi, we’re PEXA!
 
We know you’ll Google us before applying, so let’s keep this brief. PEXA revolutionised the way that property is settled in Australia, turning a paper-based process into a digital one. Our solution is a world-first, with over 500 people across Australia and an expanding international team, we’re helping 20,000+ families into their homes each week.
 
We’re passionate about solving problems for our customers – always striving to set the standard for how property is bought and sold. Being awarded as one of the best places to work in Australia is a recognition of our culture and commitment to innovation, customers and our community.
 
We’re growing fast, that is where you come in.
 
We believe our success in Australia is worth sharing and that our proven technology will advance how the UK buys and sells homes.
 
Establishing ourselves within the UK in late 2020, we are committed to collaborating with lawyers, conveyancers, lenders, government and the property industry, to set the new standard for both remortgages and buying and selling property.
 
 

We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our PEXA Go team. You’ll help build and operate the AWS platform behind PEXA Go, making sure it is reliable, secure and well supported as the service develops.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You’ll work closely with the Principal and Lead Platform Engineers to deliver platform priorities, improve the way infrastructure is deployed and operated, and help resolve issues when they arise. You’ll also work with software engineering, Technology Operations, Product, Security and Risk colleagues, so clear communication and good collaboration will matter just as much as your technical experience.

The role includes paid on-call support, responding to alerts and incidents as part of agreed arrangements.

  • Building, configuring and maintaining the AWS infrastructure and platform services used by PEXA Go.
  • Implementing infrastructure changes through code and automation, helping make delivery repeatable and dependable.
  • Delivering upgrades, technical remediation and lifecycle work, while identifying dependencies and risks early.
  • Improving monitoring, logging and alerting so teams can spot issues and understand what is happening across the platform.
  • Investigating platform incidents and service problems, helping restore service and prevent the same issues from recurring.
  • Making safe, documented changes to live services and contributing technical evidence and follow-up actions to incident reviews.
  • Applying agreed security controls and engineering standards to infrastructure, access, configuration and platform changes.
  • Keeping colleagues informed about progress, risks and technical options.
  • Sharing what you know and looking for practical ways to make the platform and its day-to-day operation better.
  • Hands-on experience engineering and operating production workloads on AWS.
  • Practical experience using infrastructure as code, scripting and automation to deliver platform changes.
  • Experience working with containerised applications and Kubernetes, including troubleshooting operational issues.
  • Experience setting up or using monitoring, logging and alerting to diagnose production problems.
  • Confidence investigating incidents and making safe, well-documented changes to live services.
  • A sound understanding of cloud security, networking, resilience, backup and recovery.
  • The ability to work effectively with software engineers and explain technical risks and options clearly.
  • You’ll take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution. When services are under pressure, you’ll bring sound judgement, keep others informed and escalate risks promptly. You’ll also be someone who enjoys working with others and sharing knowledge across the team.

    You’ll have the chance to work on the platform behind PEXA Go and make a practical contribution to how it is built, supported and improved. You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering environment where platform work connects closely with software delivery, product priorities and the experience of our customers.

    If you enjoy hands-on AWS engineering and improving the reliability of live services, we’d love to hear from you.

    Great question! Being a PEXArian is so much more than just a job. We’re a passionate, motivated and unashamedly enthusiastic bunch at PEXA – we love what we do and we’re proud to admit it! Creating brilliant experiences for our members and their clients wouldn’t be possible without ensuring we deliver an exceptional employee experience.
     
    Here’s a snapshot of what your life at PEXA could look like:
     

    Enjoy four Wellness Days across the year to rest and recharge, plus 24/7 personal safety, medical and mental health support through Sonder. You’ll also receive an £800 Health Flex Pot to spend on health options, alongside access to a digital GP, mental health and nutrition consultations, and support with eye tests and glasses.

    Grow your skills and shape your career through PEXA Academy and LinkedIn Learning. You’ll also have up to five days’ paid study leave each year for relevant courses.

    Our reward and recognition benefits include performance-based incentives, the PEXA OwnIt Equity Plan for eligible employees, PEXA Impact Awards and a £500 employee referral bonus. You’ll also have access to discounts through Perkbox and Get Active.

    Eligible permanent employees with at least 12 months’ continuous service can receive up to 20 weeks’ paid maternity or adoption leave and up to four weeks’ paid paternity leave, in addition to statutory entitlements. You’ll also have access to support for family and life events, including family grief counselling, discounted legal services and UK-registered veterinary advice.

    We know that work is just one aspect of your life – we want to help you create your ideal work/life blend, rather than squeezing in life around work. Our hybrid approach combines regular in-office connection with working from home. You may also be able to work remotely from an approved country for up to two weeks every six months and purchase up to four additional weeks of annual leave each year.

    Use your paid Volunteer Day to support a cause that matters to you and enjoy events throughout the year that bring PEXArians together to connect and celebrate.
