Employment type: Contract, day rate, through to June 2027

Start date: As soon as possible

We’re looking for a hands‑on Platform Engineer (DevOps and SRE backgrounds very welcome) to join the AI platform team at a major Perth based resources company.

You’ll build and run the internal platform that other engineering squads rely on. The team treats the platform as an internal product, building golden paths and guardrails so product teams can ship safely across cloud, OT and edge environments.

What you’ll be doing
Build and maintain reusable platform capabilities, golden paths and Terraform modules
Build and improve CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions
Deploy, operate and troubleshoot workloads on Kubernetes, OpenShift or managed Kubernetes
Put observability in place: metrics, logs, traces, alerts and runbooks
Write Python, TypeScript, Bash or Go to build automation, APIs and developer tooling
Write documentation and how to guides so teams can self serve

What we’re looking for




Hands on experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE or cloud engineering
Production Kubernetes, OpenShift or EKS, with solid Linux skills
AWS cloud native services, with a positive feel for networking, security and cost trade offs
Infrastructure as Code in production, ideally Terraform, plus CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar
Solid coding ability in Python, TypeScript, Bash or Go
Security basics: identity, secrets management, least privilege
Perth based with full right to work in Australia

Nice to have
OT, edge or network segregated settings
Data intensive or AI/ML workloads
Policy as code, governance or FinOps
