Senior DevOps Engineer

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Scouut Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Want to own infrastructure end-to-end, not just push buttons in the cloud?

This isn't a role where you're one of hundreds spinning up the same AWS pipelines. Here, you'll be the one running and shaping the entire infrastructure - from bare-metal servers to automation scripts that keep everything fast, secure, and rock-solid.

If the idea of taming fleets of VPS and dedicated machines excites you, read on.

Oh - it's also a 100%, fully remote role from anywhere on the East Coast of Australia

Why this role will change your career

  • You'll have true infrastructure ownership: full responsibility across providers and systems.
  • You'll shape how deployments, monitoring, and security are built, without corporate bottlenecks.
  • You'll get the satisfaction of seeing your automation and optimisations in production daily.
  • You'll work on meaningful software powering critical healthcare systems globally.
  • You'll be trusted with autonomy: no standups, no timesheets.

What you'll do

  • Manage and optimise a fleet of Linux (Debian) VPS and dedicated servers.
  • Drive security hardening and performance tuning across systems.
  • Automate deployments, backups, and monitoring with tools you choose (Terraform, Ansible, Bash/Python/Go etc).
  • Occasionally dip into backend code (TypeScript, with optional Go) when useful.
  • Define and evolve infra strategy without bureaucracy.

You might be who we're looking for if…

  • You thrive when trusted to run infra end-to-end.
  • You're fluent in Linux, VPS, automation tooling, and scripting.
  • You get a kick out of making systems faster, safer, and more reliable.
  • You value straightforward collaboration and candid debate.
  • You enjoy working with a tight, supportive team that actually likes each other.

About The Company

They're a profitable, founder-owned startup building high-reliability software for the medical sector - helping healthcare providers, aged care services, and medical logistics teams deliver care efficiently. The problems are real, the challenges unique, and the culture's built on trust and autonomy.

Culture and Benefits

  • 100% remote role anywhere on the East Coast of Australia.
  • No micromanagement: no standups, no time tracking, no pointless bureaucracy.
  • A high-performing but relaxed team that values humour and collaboration.
  • Regular team catch-ups - they fly in monthly, eat too much, and laugh way too hard.
  • Friday gaming sessions for those who want to join in (last week was League URF).
  • Flexibility to do your best work around your life.

What this is (and isn't)

A senior DevOps/SysAdmin role with complete infrastructure ownership

A chance to shape automation and security with the tools you prefer

A role where your work has daily, visible impact on critical systems

Not a cloud-only DevOps role - if your experience is limited to AWS pipelines, this isn't it

Not for backend engineers dabbling in infra - this is infra-first, automation-heavy

Not a place for people who need rigid processes or constant oversight
