• Experience with the design, implementation and operation of horizontally scaled cloud technologies

• Experience troubleshooting and analysing remotely deployed software systems

• Capacity to work holistically on software enabled capabilities up and down the software stack and through lifecycle through design, implementation, operation and sustainment

• Capacity to act as the technical owner for a software service, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution

• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity

• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience writing cloud-native services using C++, Rust, Python and/or Go
