Are you ready to join the winning team at The Lottery Corporation?

We power Australia’s biggest lottery games – and we’re one of the world’s top-performing lottery businesses.

As the home of The Lott and Keno, we’re building on decades of excitement and life-changing wins, bringing our games to every state and territory except WA.

For more than a century, we’ve been playing our role in creating positive impacts by delivering winning moments every day to our people, our customers, retailers, partners and our community.

But we’re not standing still. We’re evolving into an entertainment company – more customer-obsessed, more agile and driven by real outcomes.

Because at our core, it’s simple: we create winning moments – and we’re building the next chapter as the team behind Where Australia Comes to Play.

What you’ll do

• Build and optimise secure CI/CD pipelines and platform tooling across Keno’s modern and legacy technology environments.
• Design reusable infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes and Helm to support reliable, scalable delivery.
• Strengthen platform security through secrets management, vulnerability scanning, access controls and supply-chain protection.
• Create reusable tools, templates and automation that help engineering teams deliver faster, safer and with less friction.
• Apply AI to pipeline development, infrastructure analysis, incident investigation and the automation of operational work.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience across DevOps, Site Reliability or Platform Engineering within a commercial software environment.
• Production experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration and modern CI/CD platforms such as GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code capability using Terraform, Ansible or equivalent technologies.
• Cloud and security engineering expertise, including secrets management, access controls, scanning and secure delivery practices.
• A collaborative, pragmatic mindset with the ability to mentor engineers, manage incidents and build solutions others can confidently adopt.
