This is an exciting opportunity for you to bring your expertise in Python, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines to a forward-thinking environment where your contributions will directly impact the efficiency and reliability of critical systems. You will be empowered to design, build, and maintain robust automation solutions that streamline operations and foster seamless integration across platforms.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Automation and DevOps Engineer based in Sydney, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing advanced automation solutions that drive operational excellence. Your day-to-day activities will involve collaborating with talented professionals across various disciplines to identify areas for process improvement through scripting and tool integration. You will be responsible for developing reusable automation components using Python and Ansible, ensuring that these solutions are scalable and adaptable to evolving business needs. By embedding automation into CI/CD pipelines and leveraging modern technologies such as OpenShift, Kubernetes, Terraform, and MongoDB, you will help create a more efficient technology landscape. Your ability to troubleshoot issues proactively will be essential in maintaining high standards of reliability. Success in this role means not only delivering robust technical solutions but also contributing positively to a culture of teamwork, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning.

• Design, develop, and implement automation solutions using Python to streamline operational workflows and improve system reliability across multiple platforms.
• Utilise Ansible (including Ansible Tower / AWX / Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform) to automate configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration tasks.
• Develop custom Ansible modules and plugins tailored to meet specific business requirements, ensuring reusability and scalability of automation scripts.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to integrate automation into existing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub Actions, enhancing deployment efficiency.
• Leverage Git for version control to manage code repositories effectively, supporting collaborative development practices within the team.
• Work with databases such as MongoDB to automate data-related tasks and ensure seamless integration between applications and storage solutions.
• Contribute to the adoption of infrastructure-as-code practices by exploring tools like Terraform for provisioning cloud resources when required.
• Support containerised environments by providing automation expertise in OpenShift or Kubernetes settings, helping teams deploy and manage applications efficiently.
• Troubleshoot complex issues in automation scripts or integrations independently, applying analytical thinking to resolve problems quickly and effectively.
• Continuously seek opportunities to enhance existing automation frameworks by integrating new tools or improving current processes based on feedback from stakeholders.
