Join Deloitte's Engineering Practice in Australia and help clients design, build and scale modern cloud platforms, AI solutions and engineering capabilities on AWS.

What will your typical day look like?

From architecture through to delivery, you'll lead teams building cloud and AI solutions on AWS for major organisations across Australia. That could mean shaping secure platform foundations, guiding cloud-native engineering decisions, or helping clients solve complex technology challenges with practical, scalable solutions.

In one engagement, you might be designing multi-account AWS environments using Control Tower or Landing Zone Accelerator. In another, you could be standing up Bedrock agents, designing RAG architectures, or reviewing code and AI-assisted outputs to make sure they're secure, maintainable and production-ready.

Working closely with clients, engineers and cross-functional teams, you'll translate business needs into technical direction and delivery outcomes. You'll also help strengthen Deloitte's broader engineering capability through mentoring, reusable assets, and contributions to our AWS, cloud and AI offerings.
