The Senior SRE is a high-impact, hands-on engineering role reporting to the Engineering Manager. Based in our Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne hubs (3 days in-office), you are the technical backbone of our cloud operations. We aren't looking for a strategist who just draws diagrams; we need a veteran engineer who can build resilient systems with Terraform, orchestrate AKS at scale, and lead the charge during critical production incidents. You will own the reliability, performance, and scalability of our Azure platform. This is a role for an engineer who loves to solve complex puzzles and hates manual 'toil.'
Job Responsibility:
Hands-on Platform Engineering: Manage and scale Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters
Infrastructure as Code: Write, test, and maintain production-grade Terraform modules
Deep-Dive Troubleshooting: Act as the Level 3 escalation point for complex system failures
Incident Management Lead: Lead the response for high-priority incidents
Observability Mastery: Implement and fine-tune monitoring, logging, and alerting using Dynatrace
Operational Excellence: Identify manual processes and replace them with automated tooling
Requirements:
8–10+ years in cloud-native environments
Deep, hands-on experience with AKS/K8s
CKA or CKAD certification is a must
Extensive experience navigating the Azure ecosystem (Networking, IAM, Storage, and Security)
Proven ability to manage complex, multi-environment infrastructure through Terraform
Advanced skills in Dynatrace (or similar tools like Datadog/New Relic)
A track record of leading major incident responses and managing stakeholder communication
Strong scripting/coding skills (Python, Go, or Bash)
Mentorship through doing
