We're partnering with a leading enterprise IT consulting organization to hire a Principal Dev Ops Engineer to lead large-scale, cloud-native infrastructure initiatives across Australia and Current Zealand.

This role sits at the heart of a high-throughput platform environment—routing thousands of customer interactions daily, executing millions of API and monitoring calls, and orchestrating petabytes of data across hybrid and multi-cloud systems.

Reliability isn't optional—it's mission-critical.

As Principal Dev Ops Engineer, you will architect and lead the evolution of up-to-date infrastructure platforms, enabling engineering teams to deploy faster, operate safely, and scale confidently.

Key Responsibilities
Architect multi-region, multi-cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Cloud Formation, or similar).
Lead CI/CD strategy and platform modernization, supporting frequent, safe production deployments.
Drive observability and reliability practices, including SLOs, monitoring strategy, and incident response maturity.




Mentor and lead a distributed Dev Ops team across Australia and New Zealand.
Optimize cost, performance, and scalability across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
Embed security and compliance controls aligned to enterprise and regulatory standards.

What We're Looking For
For 6+ years' experience in Dev Ops or Infrastructure Engineering within complex production environments.
Deep expertise in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Strong hands-on Infrastructure-as-Code experience.
Production Kubernetes and container orchestration experience.
Demonstrated technical leadership and strong architectural thinking.
Commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement.

Why This Opportunity?
Strategic, high-impact infrastructure leadership.
Enterprise-scale setting with modern cloud-native stack.
Distributed, team-oriented engineering culture.
Stability of a global consulting organization with exposure to cutting-edge platform transformation.
