The Opportunity

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will be responsible for:

  • Deploy, configure and maintain the DevSecOps platform (source control, CI/CD, static analysis, artifact registries, runners/agents, web UIs) in Kubernetes within an AWS cloud environment.
  • Provision and operate production Kubernetes clusters (EKS or equivalent): cluster lifecycle, networking, storage, ingress, RBAC, Helm/Operators and autoscaling.
  • Patch, upgrade and harden DevSecOps tooling, container images, OS and Kubernetes components; coordinate maintenance windows and rollback plans.

  • Mentor and support developers and operations staff in pipeline usage, tooling best practices and secure development lifecycle improvements.
  • Evaluate and adopt emerging tooling and patterns (GitOps, policy as code, container security) to improve reliability, security and developer experience.

Applicants are also expected to have:

  • 5+ years' relevant hands‑on experience (or equivalent education + experience) administering cloud, Kubernetes and DevSecOps tooling in production.
  • Strong Kubernetes operational experience (cluster lifecycle, networking, storage, RBAC, Helm, operators, troubleshooting). EKS experience preferred.
  • Strong AWS skills (VPC, IAM, EC2, EKS, S3, KMS, Transit Gateway/Direct Connect concepts)
  • Proficient with infrastructure as code and automation: Terraform / CloudFormation, Ansible, Helm, and scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python).
  • Solid git workflows and experience building pipeline templates, branch protections and merge policies.
  • Experience with container image security: scanning, signing, runtime hardening, and admission controls.
  • Administration/troubleshooting experience for Windows and/or Linux servers.
  • Familiar with security and compliance frameworks.
  • Excellent written/verbal communication and documentation skills.
  • NV1 security clearance required.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens to meet defence security requirements.
