Cloud Tech Lead

You’re only human.    It’s a strange thing to say, because us humans are capable of incredible things. And at Medibank, we know our greatest potential lies in the people who work with us.    We strive to make real, fundamental change, driven by a simple purpose: to create the best health and wellbeing for all of Australia.   The Opportunity As Medibank continues to invest in innovative, forward-thinking technology, we're seeking a Cloud Technical Lead for our Cloud Engineering team.  Building on the cloud is at its most impactful when reliability, security and cost work together, and that's exactly where this role lives.

Prioritize and drive remediation of cloud risks and security misconfigurations, balancing urgent fixes with planned work. Lead cloud security posture and maturity uplift through automation and compliance monitoring, including guardrails for emerging AI services. Drive cloud cost optimization and FinOps practices, including cost visibility and allocation, rightsizing and anomaly detection, delivering ongoing savings. Provide technical direction to other engineers and partner with technical teams to roll out standards, provide guidance and gather feedback.  What we're looking for:  6-7+ years of experience and ideally 5+ hands-on in AWS, with proven capability across cloud engineering and governance, ideally as a Senior Engineer or Technical Lead. Strong hands-on AWS background across core services, including: Identity & governance : IAM, Organizations, Control Tower, Config, CloudTrail Networking : VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53, security groups/NACLs Compute &…
