Perth, Western Australia TheDriveGroup Full-time
I’m looking for a

Senior DevOps & Platform Engineer

to take ownership of the cloud and infrastructure foundations behind a complex

data platform .

This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit a mature AWS environment and simply keep the lights on.

You’ll be responsible for taking an existing cloud footprint and turning it into a deliberately designed, secure and scalable platform, with genuine ownership over the technical direction.

The role will cover:

CI/CD, release engineering & developer productivity

IAM, cloud security, secrets, encryption & supply chain security

Observability, reliability, resilience & cloud cost optimisation

The

data side is particularly important .

You’ll be supporting the infrastructure behind a distributed data platform, so experience operating, securing or tuning technologies such as

Spark, Kafka, Presto/Trino, Iceberg or Airflow

would be highly regarded.

They’re looking for someone who understands the

whole platform , not just individual AWS services. You should be comfortable thinking about account architecture, networking, identity, security, IaC, deployment pipelines, developer experience and the data workloads running on top of it.

This could be a great move if you’ve

built cloud/platform capability from the ground up before

and want the autonomy to do it properly again.

There’s no people management requirement. This is a

senior individual contributor role

where your impact comes from technical depth, architecture and setting the engineering standard.

Remote anywhere in Australia

Existing ongoing Australian working rights required
