You’ll be the hybrid-cloud SME — designing, building, and optimising environments that span on-prem (Hyper-V/VMware) and Azure. You’ll lead big pieces of work: datacentre and hybrid-to-cloud migrations, modernisation projects, hybrid networking, and identity integration.

You’ll keep platforms running smoothly across multiple customers, making sure they’re secure, resilient, and supportable — and you’ll be the escalation point for the tough stuff.

Automation will be a big part of your world: creating repeatable deployment and migration frameworks using PowerShell, PowerCLI, Azure Migrate and similar tools to drive efficiency and consistency.

You’ll lead a small hybrid pod, mentor engineers, and lift capability.

And you’ll work directly with customers: advising on strategy, planning and delivering migrations, optimising hybrid environments, and supporting them through complex operational challenges (including on-call when needed).

You know hybrid inside out with strong experience with on-prem virtualisation and Azure services, and deep knowledge of hybrid networking, identity, migrations, and modernisation.

You script, automate, and build frameworks that scale. You communicate clearly, work well with stakeholders, and can translate challenges into practical, modern hybrid-cloud solutions.

You’ve led or mentored engineers before, ideally in an MSP or consulting environment, and you bring a strategic mindset — someone who can help shape how hybrid cloud is delivered across a large customer base.

Quantitative Analyst

Financial Services Technology | Wealth Management | Actuarial | Sydney

• Join a global financial technology business transforming the way financial advice is delivered 
• Work on meaningful, intellectually challenging problems spanning retirement, investments and insurance
• Build sophisticated modelling frameworks make an impact

The Opportunity

If you're an actuary or quantitative analyst who enjoys solving complex mathematical problems rather than producing the same reports month after month, this is an opportunity to do work that genuinely shapes the future of financial advice.

Joining a leading financial technology business, you'll be responsible for developing and enhancing sophisticated actuarial and quantitative models that underpin retirement, investment and insurance advice solutions used by major financial institutions.

You'll work at the intersection of actuarial science, technology and product innovation, collaborating with engineers, product specialists and industry experts to transform complex legislation and advice strategies into scalable digital solutions.

You'll take ownership of the quantitative frameworks that power a sophisticated advice platform, including:

• Designing, validating and enhancing actuarial and mathematical models
• Solving complex quantitative challenges across wealth, retirement and insurance
• Translating legislation and advice policy into scalable calculation logic
• Working closely with Product and Engineering teams to embed models into technology platforms
• Supporting clients through technical implementation and quantitative enhancements
• Driving continuous improvement across modelling, testing and deployment processes
• Monitoring legislative and taxation changes to ensure models remain accurate and compliant

About You

• 5+ years' experience in actuarial or quantitative analysis within financial services
• Experience across wealth management, investments, superannuation or insurance
• Strong mathematical modelling and analytical capability
• The ability to design and maintain complex financial calculation frameworks
• Advanced Excel skills and exposure to JSON or similar modelling/configuration tools
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts simply
• A passion for solving challenging quantitative problems in a collaborative environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a traditional actuarial role.

You'll join a business where quantitative expertise directly influences product innovation, client outcomes and the future of digital financial advice. You'll work alongside experienced product, engineering and financial services professionals in an environment that values intellectual curiosity, continuous improvement and innovation.

If you enjoy building solutions, not just analysing them, and want your work to have genuine commercial and customer impact, apply online or call Michelle Rubinstein at The Onset on 0413 463 043.

Software Engineer (Fullstack JavaScript)

AI-First Product Team | Sydney-based 

A few months ago, we helped the team hire their Cyber Security Lead. He's since stepped into the Interim Head of IT role, creating an opportunity for an experienced Security Lead to come in and keep the momentum going.

This is a genuine leadership role focused on:

• Operationalising the company's AI Security & Governance framework.
• Leading identity and access initiatives.
• Providing technical oversight across security operations.
• Mentoring the Security Engineer and partnering with engineering teams to mature security across the business.

They're looking for someone who has led security programs, has strong cloud and identity experience, and is comfortable balancing technical depth with stakeholder engagement. Experience with AI governance or secure AI adoption will be highly regarded.

The role is initially six months, with the successful candidate covering while the current Security Lead steps into the Interim Head of IT position. Depending on how things evolve, there is potential for the engagement to continue.

A high energy and outcomes focused consulting firm is bolstering their data engineering capability with a hands-on technical senior to drive platform delivery on a significant government sector engagement. You'll spend your time between the keyboard and the whiteboard: designing production data pipelines, mentoring 2–3 junior engineers, and helping drive technical direction for client deliverables across the Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake stack.

Day to day, you'll be designing and owning production data pipelines and platform components across Azure, Databricks and Snowflake, doing hands-on engineering rather than just oversight, while helping guide the technical direction for client engagements. That means making the calls on architecture, modelling approach and tooling trade-offs, and documenting them clearly enough that clients can run the platform without us. You'll apply and uphold our engineering standards around testing, CI/CD, security and maintainability, and mentor a team of two or three engineers by reviewing their designs and code and lifting the bar for what we ship. Alongside the technical work, you'll scope engagements with clients, manage delivery plans, translate business problems into technical solutions, and support business development through discovery, estimation and proposals.

You'll likely have five to seven years of hands-on data engineering behind you, with a track record of shipping production platforms rather than stalled migrations or prototypes. We're looking for deep expertise across Azure, Databricks and Snowflake.

Just as important is the way you work. You're someone who can guide delivery and people while staying hands-on, communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders, and thrive in a consulting environment with shifting context, multiple clients and direct client contact. Australian citizenship is preferred, but no security clearance is required. Azure Data Engineer or Databricks certifications, streaming and real-time data experience, AI/ML enablement, or a consulting background would all be welcome bonuses.

A hybrid setup, with one or two days a week in the office or on client site and the rest from home, paid professional certifications, and a real opportunity to shape the engineering culture from within.

If you've shipped platforms on this stack and want to stay hands-on while mentoring a small team, apply or get in touch: ronny@theonset.com.au.

Principal Product Manager | AI Experiences

You'll own the customer experience for a next-generation AI product, designing how customers interact with conversational interfaces, generative and adaptive UI, multimodal experiences, workflow delegation and intelligent automation. The goal isn't to build another chatbot. It's to create an AI experience that acts more like a trusted coworker, helping customers complete meaningful work while keeping them confidently in control.

This is one of the highest-profile Product roles within the organisation's AI strategy, offering the opportunity to influence the future of AI-powered experiences used by millions of customers globally.

What you'll be doing

• Define the long-term product vision for a customer-facing AI experience across web and mobile.
• Reimagine end-to-end workflows using conversational, agentic and multimodal interaction patterns.
• Design experiences that enable customers to confidently delegate work to AI while maintaining transparency, trust and control.
• Partner closely with Product Design, Engineering and AI teams to transform emerging capabilities into intuitive customer experiences.
• Shape how AI surfaces recommendations, actions, notifications and contextual information throughout the customer journey.
• Define product success through customer adoption, engagement, trust, retention and behavioural insights.

We're looking for someone who has

• Extensive Product Management experience leading large-scale customer-facing digital products.
• Experience building AI-powered, conversational, agentic or intelligent product experiences that customers actively use.
• Outstanding product craft and customer empathy, with a proven ability to simplify complex technology into elegant user experiences.
• Deep partnership experience with Product Design, particularly across interaction design, UX and modern interface patterns.
• Strong knowledge of generative AI, multimodal experiences, AI agents or intelligent workflow automation.
• Experience defining product strategy in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• A proven ability to influence senior leaders and align cross-functional teams around a shared vision.

You'll stand out if you've worked on

• AI assistants or copilots
• Agentic products
• Conversational interfaces
• Generative or adaptive UI
• Consumer-scale web or mobile products
• Intelligent workflow automation
• Human-in-the-loop AI experiences

This role probably isn't for you if...

• Your experience has primarily focused on platform, infrastructure or backend products.
• Your AI experience has been limited to integrating LLMs or adding AI features into existing products.
• Your background is primarily delivery-focused rather than defining long-term product strategy and customer experience.
• You haven't owned sophisticated customer-facing digital experiences.

If you're excited by the opportunity to redefine how millions of people interact with AI every day, we'd love to hear from you.

They’re building something new — and need a senior engineer who can take the lead, deliver at scale, and set the standards for Azure delivery. The Cloud Engineering pod will define how infrastructure, automation, and operations are managed for a growing customer base, and you’ll turn complex cloud environments into streamlined, secure, and supportable platforms.

You’ll work closely with the Cloud Engineering Manager and customers to understand their business and technical goals, then design modern, scalable Azure solutions that actually deliver outcomes. This is hands-on work, architecting, automating, optimising, but it also calls for strategic thinking, mentoring, and building something repeatable that scales across 50+ customers. You’ll take what’s already there, improve it, and help shape what comes next.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, implementing, and optimising cloud architectures across Azure IaaS, PaaS, networking, and security.

• Building automation frameworks and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, PowerShell, Python) to standardise delivery.

• Leading cloud migrations, modernisation initiatives, and platform builds aligned to client outcomes.

• Driving operational excellence through observability, monitoring, and SRE practices.

• Mentoring engineers, documenting frameworks, and lifting capability across the pod.

• Partnering with customers to deliver technical leadership, cost optimisation, and continuous improvement.

This is a senior, high-ownership role. If you thrive in environments where deep technical delivery meets automation and innovation — and you like the idea of shaping how Azure is delivered across dozens of clients — this team is for you.

• Support vendor engagement, solution assessment, procurement activities and implementation planning
• Maintain clear traceability between business requirements, process design and solution delivery
• Contribute to delivery governance, business readiness assessment and transition to BAU
• Identify opportunities to streamline, standardise or automate processes across the program

What you'll need

• Minimum 10 years' demonstrable experience in senior business analysis, business transformation or technology-enabled change
• Strong business process engineering capability, including current-state assessment and future-state design
• Proven ability to operate in complex, ambiguous environments and bring structure to difficult business problems

• Strong facilitation skills, able to lead workshops, resolve ambiguity and drive stakeholder alignment
• Ability to produce clear, high-quality analysis artefacts tailored to senior and non-technical audiences
• Familiarity with Agile, Waterfall or Hybrid delivery approaches, able to right-size to context
• Experience in insurance, legal services, financial services, government or other regulated environments desirable
• Hands-on, pragmatic style with strong written communication and attention to detail
• Melbourne-based, with flexibility (3:2 hybrid model) to attend the CBD office as needed

Why join

This is your opportunity to play a senior, shaping role in a high-profile transformation program, in a smaller, agile environment where decisions are made quickly and your contribution is directly visible. You'll work at the intersection of business strategy, process design and technology delivery, helping build the capability and systems it needs to serve the legal profession for years to come.

Immediate need - 2-stage interview process.
