About the Role

In this high-impact architectural role, you will take ownership of designing, defining, and governing automated platform strategies and reusable infrastructure patterns across a complex multi-cloud enterprise environment (primarily Azure, alongside AWS). You will sit at the intersection of enterprise architecture, DevSecOps, and secure platform engineering, serving as the technical authority who bridges high-level government security requirements with scalable, "as-a-service" platform delivery.

Responsibilities

Lead the architectural design and definition of reusable, enterprise-grade Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns, CI/CD orchestration workflows, and "as-a-service" platform capabilities across Azure and AWS.
Design complex integration topologies connecting infrastructure, hybrid networking (ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, VPNs), multi-account cloud routing, and identity/access management (IAM) frameworks.
Establish platform engineering standards, DevSecOps best practices, and automation guardrails to ensure all deployments align with enterprise architecture and government security baselines.
Architect secure, compliant cloud environments aligned to Federal Government security controls (including ISM and IRAP frameworks).
Partner closely with security, platform, and application teams to guide solution design, resolve root-cause platform complexities, and mentor engineering and operational staff.
Drive platform reliability, scalability, and modern automation initiatives, keeping the multi-cloud strategy aligned with evolving business priorities and emerging technologies.

Requirements

An active NV1 Security Clearance is strictly mandatory.
Demonstrated track record designing and architecting automated cloud solutions across Azure and AWS environments.
Deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), scripting, and building enterprise CI/CD orchestration workflows (e.g., Azure DevOps or similar).
Proven experience architecting enterprise identity, access management, and hybrid/multi-cloud networking patterns.
Experience designing secure cloud platforms within Australian Federal Government environments, with strong knowledge of government security frameworks (ISM, IRAP).
Exceptional problem-solving skills, strong stakeholder engagement, and the proven ability to lead technical teams, define strategy, and produce high-quality architectural documentation.
Relevant Professional/Expert certifications in Azure, AWS, or Cloud Automation.
Strong background working in Agile/DevOps delivery environments across integrated enterprise ICT landscapes.
Applicants will need to have valid work rights for Australia and be willing to undergo a comprehensive background checking process, including probity and police checks.
