Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

A Lead Cloud & DevOps Engineer is sought to own cloud architecture and infrastructure strategy while remaining deeply hands-on.

Highlights

Own the architecture and infrastructure roadmap in a hands-on technical leadership role. The position combines cloud architecture, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, large-scale data processing, and high-performance compute, with significant scope to shape the engineering environment.

Description

Lead Cloud & DevOps Engineer | Sydney 📍 Sydney | Flexible Hybrid 🚀 Scale-up | Build the team around you Are you a senior DevOps/Cloud Engineer who wants to own the architecture rather than just implement someone else’s designs? I’m working with a growing technology scale-up looking for a Lead Cloud & DevOps Engineer to take ownership of its cloud and infrastructure environment. This is a genuinely hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll be responsible for setting the infrastructure roadmap, designing the architecture and then actually building it. They don’t want someone who automatically reaches for an off-the-shelf solution. They want someone who can assess the problem, think ahead and recommend the right approach. A particularly interesting part of the role is the data infrastructure. You’ll be working with: ☁️ GCP, with Azure on the roadmap 🛠️ Terraform / Infrastructure as Code ⚙️ Kubernetes & Docker 🐧 Linux 📊 Large-scale data processing 🔥 Multi-region, GPU-intensive compute infrastructure 🔄 CI/CD & automation 🔐 Security, resilience & data sovereignty They’re looking for someone who is methodical and proactive. Someone who can look beyond what needs fixing today, anticipate what the platform will need in 6–12 months and build a plan to get there. You’ll also initially mentor an existing engineer, with genuine scope to build a Cloud/DevOps team around you as the business scales. The ideal background? Someone who has come from Infrastructure / Systems Engineering, moved deeply into Cloud and DevOps, and is now ready to step into a Lead position without moving away from the technology. Experience with GPU compute, data platforms, multi-region infrastructure or complex cloud migrations would be a huge bonus.
