• Deploying and operating integration technologies including Confluent/Kafka, IBM MQ, IBM ACE, Sterling Integrator, Control-M, MFT, API gateways, Azure Service Bus and Amazon SQS/SNS.
• Building infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Ansible and Helm and managing secure CI/CD pipelines for platform deployments.
• Strengthening reliability through high availability, disaster recovery, failover testing and capacity planning.
• Implementing platform hardening, mTLS, certificate lifecycle management and secure secrets handling in partnership with Cyber Security.
• Creating monitoring dashboards, alerts, runbooks and operational handover artefacts that keep the platform supportable and audit-ready.
• Working with engineering, cloud, identity, cyber and vendor teams to resolve blockers and deliver consistent platform standards.

To succeed in this role, you'll have:

• 8+ years of infrastructure or platform engineering experience, ideally within a regulated or large enterprise environment.
• Hands- on experience across at least three to four core integration technologies such as Confluent/Kafka, IBM MQ, IBM ACE, Sterling Integrator, Control-M, MFT, API gateways, Azure Service Bus or SQS/SNS.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience using Terraform, Ansible and Helm.
• Strong CI/CD pipeline design and management experience with secure deployment patterns and environment promotion.
• Experience supporting Kubernetes and Docker environments with a focus on operational reliability.
• Monitoring and observability experience using Grafana, Prometheus, ELK or equivalent tools.
• Working knowledge of mTLS, certificate management, secrets handling, Linux administration and scripting with Bash or Python.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to produce technical documentation, runbooks and operational updates.

You’ll stand out from the crowd if you have some of the following:

• Experience supporting disaster recovery test programs and enterprise messaging or event-streaming operations at scale.
• AWS or Azure cloud platform experience.
• Experience in banking, payments or financial systems with familiarity with PCI-DSS and APRA CPS 234 obligations.
