RecordPoint is a data and information lifecycle management SaaS product designed to give highly-regulated organizations a competitive edge through safer, more secure, and better-managed data. We're a disruptor in our industry, set apart from competitors by our cutting edge technology and innovation-first mindset.

Our global customer list includes top-tier brands and government agencies like the City of New York, Westpac, National Australia Bank (NAB), Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Security Benefit, Cupertino Electric, Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC), Transport for NSW, Ausgrid, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and Delaware Life.

But there's more to us than the what we do — like the who behind it all. Team RecordPoint is made up of 100+ tech-driven professionals at the top of their respective fields. Together, we foster a supportive, collaborative and transparent environment, collectively working toward the singular goal of continuously doing better.

While we've got all the perks you'd expect — think truly flexible work arrangements, generous paid parental leave, 4 weeks annual leave and Employee Share Options — you might find that the greatest benefit of all, is the team you join.

Scope:

As a Senior Platform Engineer at RecordPoint you are an experienced professional who uses their expertise and problem-solving skills to collaboratively develop new features and improve on existing components of our SaaS platform.

You will run technical streams of work coordinating several other engineers as you research, scope, design, estimate, and implement new features across our cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and security landscape. You’ll work with a highly motivated self directed team that plans out their continuous improvements to processes, addresses technical debt, and builds new cloud capabilities for our Application Engineers and customers. Your passion and curiosity will drive us to continue to innovate and push the status quo higher. We’re looking for both an individual contributor and an exemplary teammate.
