Portable is seeking a Principal Technology Consultant to join their embedded consulting practice, Midnyte. This role involves working directly within client organizations to provide technology leadership, technical uplift, and problem-solving. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code, with a focus on AWS, Terraform, and system design. This position offers exposure to a high-performing startup culture within a mature and supported team, with opportunities for meaningful work and professional growth.
We care about people and the world. We seek out areas of social need and policy failure and make transformational change using research, design and technology. Our clients are as passionate as we are — working in government agencies and socially-minded businesses, as well as Australia's most recognised tech companies. Ever wondered what it’s like to work in a high performing engineering team at a start-up? This role gives you exposure to the culture and practices but with a mature and supported team.There are currently 65+ of us working as technology consultants, researchers, strategists, designers and producers towards our mission from our head office in Collingwood, and remotely from co-working spaces and homes across Australia.
This role sits within our embedded consulting practice, which is called “Midnyte”. The team is a closely knit group of technology experts that work directly inside our client organisations to provide technology leadership, technical uplift and problem solving for periods between three months to over a year in some cases. Our clients are typically well known technology companies or mature start-ups and our team is highly regarded in the industry - we just won AWS partner of the year because of our unique approach. The work is genuinely complex: large-scale cloud infrastructure, high-availability systems, and real engineering problems that matter. You'll be employed by Portable, connected to our broader team and culture, and embedded with a client where you'll do some of the best technical work of your career.
A highly experienced technologist with deep expertise and the judgment that comes from years of solving hard infrastructure problems across different industries and environments. You may have designed global-scale networks and landing zones, built CI/CD pipelines that actually hold up under pressure, and guided clients through complex cloud migrations without losing sight of security, cost, or reliability.
You're past the point of needing to prove yourself technically. What drives you now is doing the work well — architecting things properly, sharing what you know, and leaving systems (and teams) in better shape than you found them. However, fundamentally you’re a problem solver who can step into spaces and add value.
Please note! We are also interested in hearing from people who are interested in embedded consultant roles, but also have a background in related areas like observability, site reliability engineering and complex software development.
The salary range for this role is $138,000–$200,000 plus superannuation (adjust as needed).
Here's what else you can look forward to:
We are committed to building a diverse and equal team. People from groups which are typically underrepresented in technology leadership are strongly encouraged to apply.
