You're agile, keen and open to meaningful work and opportunities that come your way. Your innovative mindset is key to creating solutions to complex problems. Our systems drive our organisational success and underpin every journey our customers take. This is your opportunity to be part of an expert team who build and refine seamless technology experiences.
In this role, you'll:
- Work as part of a team delivering Technology products and services across Transport for NSW, helping shape our enterprise platform, cloud, and technology architecture.
- Be the driving force behind our cloud and platform strategy, architecture, and operations across AWS and Azure, ensuring our environments remain scalable, secure, resilient, and cost-effective.
- Lead the design of platform and cloud solutions involving complex infrastructure, networks, and security architectures within an enterprise-scale, hybrid, and multi-cloud environment.
- Guide complex cloud transformation initiatives and large-scale enterprise migrations, while driving robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.
- Define the domain architecture and design standards for modern DevOps practices, effectively bridging the gap between infrastructure, security, and software engineering.
- Ensure all solutions you design align with both immediate business needs and broader enterprise architecture principles.
To be successful, you are recognised as a domain architecture authority with proven experience in cloud architecture, security posture management, FinOps, and platform engineering within complex or regulated environments. Your strong background in DevSecOps practices, combined with excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, will see you excel in identifying strategic opportunities, addressing architectural weaknesses, driving optimisation, and ensuring solutions deliver tangible business value and compliance.
About you:
- You possess deep, hands-on design knowledge in both AWS and Azure platforms, alongside proven experience executing large-scale cloud transformations and IoC automation.
- You bring a strong design & implementation knowledge of container platforms (such as AKS, EKS, and service meshes) to help guide our future technology roadmap.
