LGT

Release Engineer

Sydney Full time

LGT Wealth Management was formed around a clear and uncompromising vision – to bring global best practice in building institutional quality investment portfolios to Australian clients.

With a shared passion for building an uncompromised business – we created something new from the ground up. A chance to leave behind the things that weren’t working, while enhancing the things that were. Our authentic and personalised client-first commitment. Our entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus in best-in-class advice. And our intimate understanding of the Australian private wealth landscape.

In 2022 we became a part of the LGT Group, who shared our entrepreneurial spirit, long-term approach and private-ownership model. Today, with the global expertise, stability, and capability of LGT behind us, we can work without being reliant on markets or margins, with a singular focus on giving our clients the advice and deep expertise they need for generations to come.

This is a production-oriented role with strong DevOps responsibilities. You’ll ensure smooth, reliable deployments for Avaloq Core and Front components, while building automation and scalability into our processes. Expect hands-on work with Oracle databases, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code, alongside incident response and change management for live systems.
