DevOps & Software Engineer (Azure / Databricks / TypeScript) - Contract

? Sydney preferred (hybrid, 2 days onsite) | Open to remote, East Coast or Australia-wide

? ASAP start | 6 month contract

? $950 - $1,200+GST per day

I'm working with a large ASX-listed business on a new contract role.

They've built an in-house forecasting application as a proof of concept.

Now it needs to become a proper production application... scalable Azure and Databricks infrastructure, the app migrated across, and rolled out across the business through the first half of 2027.

Funding is approved and the timeline is tight, which is why they're bringing in a contractor.

The split

Roughly 60-70% infrastructure and DevOps, 30-40% hands-on software engineering. They need both, as the engineering side is lighter across the current team.

Infrastructure and DevOps

- Building scalable Azure and Databricks infrastructure for the application
- Migrating the app off its PoC setup onto production-grade infrastructure
- Entra ID, containers, CI/CD, monitoring and security controls
- Making sure it lines up with internal design principles and cyber security standards

Software engineering:




- Front-end and back-end work on the application itself
- Building and integrating APIs, databases and AI services
- Testing, deployment and production support

You'll work day to day with a data scientist, an AI/infrastructure engineer and a solution architect who's also a full stack developer. ? Tech:
- Azure (Entra ID, containers, Key Vault, networking, managed databases)
- Databricks
- TypeScript (Node.js / React)
- APIs and SQL databases (PostgreSQL)
- CI/CD

What we're looking for:
- DevOps or infrastructure engineering background on Azure
- Hands-on Databricks experience
- Commercial software engineering experience building APIs and working across front and back end, ideally in TypeScript
- Mid to senior level, someone who can get in and execute

Why this role stands out: ✅ Funded project with a transparent goal - PoC to full rollout

✅ Small, hands-on team

✅ One interview, quick decision

If you're a DevOps engineer who still writes production code, or a software engineer who's gone deep on Azure and Databricks, this one is worth a chat.
