Who is Shift?

Shift provides business finance to small, established and corporate sized businesses in Australia, including Business Overdraft, Equipment Line, Asset Finance, Term Loan and Trade Account. Founded in 2014, Shift has funded more than 30,000 Australian businesses.

At Shift, our unique approach to product innovation combined with our collaborative culture means you can build your career in a supportive environment. You’ll be joining a diverse team of over 300 people who are always looking to deliver better outcomes for Australian businesses.

About the Role:

At Shift, DevOps isn’t just about ticket handling. You’ll have a say in how our cloud infrastructure is designed, built, secured, and maintained. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be responsible for end-to-end infrastructure and security tasks that directly impact our business.

What You’ll Do:

• Support DevOps and security initiatives across Shift’s cloud environments, from design to delivery.

• Build, maintain, and improve automated deployment pipelines using DevOps best practices.

• Assist with security testing, vulnerability scanning, and remediation across our infrastructure.

• Apply security best practices, help maintain policies and controls, and support the team in following them.

• Monitor for emerging security threats and help manage risks proactively.

• Work with engineering teams to ensure security is considered from the start in applications and tools.

• Contribute to infrastructure and security improvement projects from planning through delivery.

What You’ll Bring:

• 3+ years in a cloud infrastructure or technology role, with some security experience.

• Solid hands-on experience with Azure or AWS (IaaS and PaaS).

• Working knowledge of at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Bash, or C#).

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes is preferred; Helm knowledge is a plus.

• Understanding of security fundamentals (IAM, WAF, vulnerability management).

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub, Flux CD, Octopus Deploy).

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where self-direction is key.

Key benefits:

• Hybrid working: we’re headquartered in North Sydney with state-based workplaces and offer a hybrid work policy. Our offices have spaces for collaboration, socialising and focused work.

• Parental leave: up to 26 weeks paid.

• Strategy Week: twice a year the whole team comes together to hear the business strategy and product and technology roadmap first-hand, with fortnightly all-company business updates in between.

• Flat structure: everyone can learn from each other and senior leaders across the business.

• Wellbeing: benefits supporting your physical, psychological and financial wellbeing, from a day off on your birthday to end of trip facilities.
