We’re partnering with a well‑known Australian brand that’s experiencing exceptional growth and investing heavily in its technology platform. As part of this journey, they’re hiring a DevOps Technical Lead to help scale and ultimately own the DevOps capability.

Why this role stands out

You’ll join a business where DevOps is already proven and valued

Significant growth and hiring planned over the next 6 months
Clear career progression without becoming detached from the tech

Acting as a technical leader within the DevOps team and across the wider business
Designing, building and maintaining Azure infrastructure at scale
Writing and maintaining infrastructure as code using Bicep
Building and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
Coding in PowerShell and YAML
Owning cloud networking concepts including routing, connectivity and Azure infrastructure design
Troubleshooting real‑world issues end‑to‑end (you’re the person people trust when things break)
Representing DevOps internally and providing clear, practical recommendations to stakeholders
Helping shape standards, best practices and the future DevOps roadmap

What we’re looking for

Strong, hands‑on Azure DevOps experience
Proven experience with IaC (Bicep strongly preferred)
Solid CI/CD expertise (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions)
Strong understanding of Azure networking and infrastructure architecture
A natural problem solver — troubleshooting is something you genuinely enjoy
Comfortable stepping into a leadership role and influencing across teams
Someone who wants to build, scale and eventually own a DevOps function
