You’ll own and continuously improve the technology environment that supports our people, systems and workflows, ensuring it remains secure, reliable and efficient. You’ll partner with teams across the business to streamline processes, improve the employee experience and help Stake scale with confidence.

We work in a hybrid model, spending three days a week in our beautiful, dog-friendly Sydney office.

• You’ve reduced operational risk by proactively identifying issues, strengthening controls and improving documentation
• You’ve fostered a culture of continuous improvement where technology operations are recognised as a strategic business enabler

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Enjoy building operational excellence and finding ways to make systems more scalable, reliable and efficient
• Bring strong problem-solving skills and can confidently navigate ambiguity while maintaining momentum
• Communicate clearly and build strong relationships with stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams
