Lead Cloud & DevOps Engineer
Sydney | Flexible Hybrid
We’re looking for a Lead Cloud & DevOps Engineer to take technical ownership of the infrastructure environment within a growing technology scale-up.
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply implement an existing roadmap or reach for off-the-shelf solutions. You’ll be responsible for designing the architecture, setting the technical direction and remaining hands-on in building it.
A major part of the environment supports a large-scale data processing platform, with multi-region, GPU-intensive workloads running across GCP and Kubernetes.
You’ll initially mentor an existing engineer, with genuine scope to build a Cloud/DevOps team around you as the business grows.
What you'll do
You’ll ideally have:
Why join?
This is a genuine build-and-own opportunity within a scale-up.
You’ll have the autonomy to set the infrastructure roadmap, design the architecture and then build what you've designed, while solving technically interesting challenges across cloud, data and GPU infrastructure.
There’s also a clear opportunity to build a team around you, while remaining a hands-on technical leader.
If you have any questions about this role or others we have available, you can email Hayley directly via [email protected].
