Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer / Infrastructure Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer
On-siteSydney, New South Wales, Australia
Job Summary
Own a workstream end to end, including CI/CD pipelines, observability areas, or environment-build automation, across design, implementation, and daily operation. Write readable automation in Python, Bash, or Go to remove toil and maintain system health. Build and extend infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, diagnosing broken environments to root cause issues from available signals. Work across the stack including cloud (AWS), orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), operating systems, and networking, rotating focus areas roughly every six months. Operate in both cloud-native and classified on-premises environments, including air-gapped networks, applying secure-configuration baselines within established ISM/PSPF accreditation standards. Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team alongside software engineers to onboard newer team members.
Required Qualifications
- Around five or more years running infrastructure, cloud operations, platform or Defence/MSP-infrastructure environments — demonstrated experience weighted over formal qualifications
- Confident scripting and automation in at least one of Python, Bash or Go, including handling error and edge cases without prompting
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform) in a production setting
- Solid breadth across most of the stack — cloud, operating systems, containers, CI/CD — and a strong understanding of networking in cloud and hybrid environments
- A track record of working independently and owning a piece of work through to running it
- Comfortable working across breadth and rotating focus areas, rather than staying in a single tool
- Australian citizen, able to obtain and maintain an Australian NV2 security clearance (existing NV2 or equivalent preferred)
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with Kubernetes in production, and with one or more cloud platforms beyond AWS
- Experience in highly regulated environments (Defence or other Critical Infrastructure), including exposure to ISM/PSPF accreditation
- Experience with classified or air-gapped on-premises infrastructure (Windows, Active Directory, VMware)
