About MegaportWe're not your typical tech company – and we don't want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We're publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more.

\n

Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun. Our Team CultureWe're a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone's voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

\n

We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do. We're committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don't meet every requirement? That's okay. If you're excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

\n

This is a hands-on technical role, ideal for someone who has practical knowledge of industry standard software stacks and development tools, as you will need to assess risks and testing practices based on the inner workings and interoperability of our components.
