  • Automate infrastructure tasks using scripting (Python, Bash, Terraform, Ansible)
  • Support infrastructure security, patching, and compliance activities
  • Collaborate with application, security, and platform teams to deliver reliable services
  • Participate in an on-call roster and incident response when required
  • Contribute to architecture design and continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For
Essential Experience & Skills:

  • Proven experience as a Senior Systems Engineer or similar role
  • Strong cloud experience (Azure and/or AWS)
  • Deep Linux administration skills (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu)
  • Network engineering experience - routing, switching, firewalls, load balancing
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation)
  • Scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or PowerShell
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills
  • Good understanding of security best practices and NZISM (desirable)

Personal Attributes:

  • Self-sufficient and delivery focused
  • Comfortable working in a high-trust, high-stakes environment
  • Strong communicator - can explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders
