Engineering Jobs in Auckland, New Zealand (Now Hiring) — 552 open — Page 9

At IAG, we’re ready for you. We're the largest general insurance group in Australia and New Zealand. Our family of brands turns the IAG purpose of making your world a safer place into action by helping everyday Aussies and New Zealanders, supporting their ambitions and making insurance accessible.

Join us as a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer and help build the future of IAG’s engineering platform.

We run IAG's multi-cloud estate across AWS, GCP and Azure, supporting insurance operations in Australia and New Zealand under APRA and RBNZ obligations. We are building this out into a self-service platform with golden paths and guardrails. Foundations are in place; the platform layer is what we are hiring for.

A key focus of this role is evolving our GCP estate as we migrate workloads from an end-of-life on-premises container platform to Cloud Run. You'll help build and enhance the cloud foundations these workloads rely on, including networking, identity, security, observability and reusable platform patterns, while contributing to a unified Enterprise Cloud Platform across GCP and AWS.

In this role, you’ll work hands on with our strategic vendors, uplift IAG’s engineering community and shape the experience layer that brings the platform to life. This is a permanent full-time role based in multiple locations in Auckland, Melbourne or Sydney.

Ngā Mahi Hei Whakatutuki Māu | What You'll Do

• Build self-service platform capabilities (GKE, Cloud Run, EKS) using Terraform, GitOps, and day 2 operational automation.

• Contribute to BAU platform operations, including triaging and resolving support requests from engineering teams, incident response, and continuous improvement work alongside greenfield delivery.

• Enhance GCP foundations, including networking, hybrid connectivity, workload identity, secrets management and observability.

• Develop and maintain golden-path Terraform modules, with standards enforced at deploy time.

• Develop and enhance IAG’s IDP, including service catalogues, templates, and golden paths that lift engineering productivity and experience.

• Create platform guardrails & policy as code that enable fast delivery while maintaining reliability, security, and compliance.

• Design observability and operational tooling, improving platform reliability and enabling strong on call support patterns. OpenTelemetry exposure is highly valued.

• Support workload migration to Cloud Run and uplift cloud security through Wiz and CNAPP capabilities.

• Work closely with strategic vendors (Google, Wiz, AWS and others), embedding into delivery teams and sharing knowledge back into IAG via pairing, learning hours, and lightweight communities of practice.

• Influence platform direction, challenging approaches with data driven insights and supporting solution governance as part of IAG’s engineering ways of working.

• Participate in a rotating on-call roster, responding to platform incidents out of hours and contributing to PIRs to drive reliability improvements
