Opportunities from Shift Protocol (ashby)

Who is Shift? At Shift, we’re business specialists dedicated to helping Australian SMEs take control of their cashflow, streamline trade terms and choose the right financial products. We believe Australian businesses are the driving force behind our economy and are core to our communities. That’s why our business expertise, focus on relationships, and market-leading technology is at the core of everything we do. We’ve helped solve the credit and payment pain points for more than 30,000 businesses, providing over $6 billion in aggregate funding. 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: This is a build-your-career-here role, not a stepping-stone. You'll learn cloud infrastructure and security the way Shift actually does it: hands-on, with real ownership, working alongside engineers who'll teach you things you won't pick up from a course. What you'll do:

• Support the design, build and integration of security solutions across Shift's applications and tooling.
• Help maintain and improve the secure infrastructure underneath Shift Online, Shift Trade, Shift Partner and TM Vault.
• Get hands-on with our automated deployment pipelines and DevOps best practice.
• Assist with security testing and vulnerability scanning.
• Build your radar for current security threats, vulnerabilities and industry trends.
• Be the first line of support for infrastructure requests: triaging, troubleshooting and escalating where it genuinely needs a senior engineer.
• Contribute to policies, risk assessments and security controls as you build your expertise. What you'll bring:
• 1-2 years' experience in a cloud infrastructure or security-focused role, or a relevant tertiary qualification with demonstrated interest (projects, internships, personal builds).
• Exposure to at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Bash or C#).
• Hands-on experience with Azure or AWS (IaaS/PaaS) - we run on Azure, but AWS experience that translates across is welcome.
• Awareness of Docker, Kubernetes and Helm, and a genuine appetite to go deeper.
• A foundational understanding of security concepts (IAM, WAF, vulnerability management).
• Curiosity about CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Enterprise, GitOps or Octopus Deploy.
• The adaptability to pick things up fast, and the accountability to own your patch rather than wait to be told what's next. Key benefits:
• Collaborative teams – a flat structure means everyone can learn from colleagues and senior leaders around the business.
• Be involved – come together with all of your colleagues every 100 days to share the product and technology roadmap and business strategy.
• Flexible working environment – we’re headquartered in North Sydney with state-based workplaces and offer a flexible work policy.
• Family support – industry leading 26 weeks paid parental leave.
• Purpose built spaces within our office – designed for collaboration, brainstorming, socialising, and focused work.
• Range of benefits supporting your physical, psychological and financial wellbeing. From a day off on your birthday to excellent end of trip facilities. #LI-Hybrid
