Senior Systems Engineer - RHEL / VMware / Python

Sydney | Hybrid | 6-12 Month Contract

We're partnering with a well-known Sydney enterprise that's kicking off a major infrastructure migration and modernisation program. They're after a Senior Systems Engineer who can take ownership of the low-level technical design and delivery - someone who thrives on solving problems, automating workflows and making complex systems run smoothly.

  • Build, harden and operate RHEL servers across hybrid environments
  • Develop automation tooling using Python and Bash to standardise deployment processes
  • Create staging and rollback environments to support safe, repeatable releases
  • Oversee credential management, certificate rotation and secure access controls
  • Integrate monitoring, logging and SIEM feeds to provide clear operational visibility
  • Contribute technical leadership throughout design, implementation and post-migration support
What you'll bring
  • Deep hands-on experience with RHEL administration and automation
  • Strong VMware vSphere skills, including scripting and provisioning
  • Practical experience automating system builds and deployments with Python or Bash
  • A background in low-level infrastructure design and migration projects
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with other engineers and stakeholders

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with Cisco UCS hardware
  • Exposure to automation or orchestration tools such as Ansible, Terraform or Jenkins
Why you'll like it
  • Contract role (6-12 months) with scope for extension
  • Join a major enterprise project with real technical depth
  • Hybrid work environment, Sydney-based
