The difference you’ll make

We’re looking for a talented and driven DevOps Engineer to help shape the foundation that powers our products and developer experience. In this role, you’ll play a key part in building a self-service internal platform that empowers engineers to ship features faster, more reliably, and with greater autonomy.

You’ll be joining a high impact team focused on simplifying infrastructure, improving scalability, and enabling seamless delivery across the business. Based in Sydney (hybrid), this is an opportunity to work at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure; influencing how development happens across the company and driving operational excellence in everything we build.

What you'll do:

• Improve CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling to reduce friction, accelerate delivery, and make secure delivery the default.
• Define, maintain, and continuously improve infrastructure standards using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
• Embed security controls into the software delivery lifecycle, including automated security scanning, dependency checks, secret detection, and policy enforcement.
• Partner with engineering teams to shift security left, helping developers identify and resolve risks early in the development process.
• Champion observability, reliability, and operational excellence, ensuring systems are well-instrumented, monitored, and easy to support in production.
• Build and maintain secure cloud infrastructure patterns across networking, identity, permissions, logging, encryption, and workload isolation.
• Support secure containerisation and deployment practices across Kubernetes or ECS, including image scanning, runtime security, least-privilege access, and secure configuration.
• Improve incident response readiness by strengthening alerting, logging, runbooks, and operational processes.
• Collaborate closely with product and software engineers to create a world-class developer experience without compromising security or compliance.
• Promote best practices across automation, infrastructure design, DevOps culture, cloud security, and secure engineering.
• Help define guardrails, standards, and reusable templates that allow teams to move quickly while staying aligned to security and compliance expectations.
• Continuously evaluate and improve tooling across CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, observability, vulnerability management, and developer workflows.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong experience with AWS and cloud-native architecture.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes or ECS/container orchestration.
• Proven experience with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD, Buildkite, or similar.
• Experience embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, secret scanning, and infrastructure policy checks.
• Strong understanding of cloud security fundamentals, including IAM, networking, encryption, logging, workload isolation, and least-privilege access.
• Experience managing secrets securely using tools such as AWS Secrets Manager, SSM Parameter Store, Vault, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with vulnerability management, patching workflows, security monitoring, and remediation processes.
• Experience with observability platforms such as Datadog, CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or similar.
• Practical understanding of container security, including secure base images, image scanning, runtime permissions, and deployment hardening.
• A passion for improving developer experience and creating reliable, scalable, and secure systems.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset.
• Ability to work closely with engineering teams to balance speed, reliability, security, and operational maturity.
• A pragmatic approach to security, focused on building sensible guardrails rather than unnecessary blockers.
