Job summary

Corpshore Australia is seeking a senior DevOps/Cloud Engineer to own end-to-end CI/CD pipelines and write infrastructure as code, provisioning cloud environments across AWS, Azure or GCP. You will lead incident response, mentor engineers and drive security hygiene.

This remote-first role is based in Australia, with overlap to AEST for standups and client calls, and a focus on governance and cost optimization in client environments.

Qualifications

• At least six years in software engineering with cloud infrastructure and DevOps.
• Hands-on infrastructure as code experience, ideally Terraform.
• Real CI/CD pipeline ownership, not just participation.
• Container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong scripting in Python or Bash for automation.
• Incident response discipline and ability to document outcomes.
• Ability to mentor without micromanaging.

Responsibilities

• Own CI/CD pipelines end to end for client platforms, building and maintaining automation.
• Write and maintain infrastructure as code, principally Terraform.
• Provision and manage cloud environments across AWS, Azure or GCP.
• Design monitoring, alerting, capacity and cost reviews; lead incident response.
• Mentor less senior engineers and review changes for quality and security.
• Own security hygiene, including patching cadence and credential rotation.
• Contribute to governance conversations and translate infra changes for non-engineers.

Job description

You will sit inside Corpshore Australia's IT outsourcing practice, a division of Corpshore Solutions Corporation, working across the cloud infrastructure and DevOps engagements we run for client platforms. This is a senior individual contributor role with real technical ownership: you are the person a client's engineering lead calls when a pipeline breaks or a production environment needs re-architecting, not a name on a resourcing sheet.

This role is remote-first in the fullest sense. You can be based anywhere in Australia, Sydney, Perth, Hobart, wherever suits you, provided your working hours give meaningful overlap with AEST business hours for standups, incident response and client calls. Day to day that means async work for a good part of your week, with a reliable block of overlap time reserved for the moments that need a live conversation rather than a ticket.

What you will do

You will own CI/CD pipelines end to end for the client platforms assigned to you, building and maintaining build, test and deployment automation in tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins depending on the client's existing toolchain, and you will be the one who decides when a pipeline needs redesigning rather than another patch. You will write and maintain infrastructure as code, principally Terraform, provisioning and managing cloud environments across AWS, Azure or GCP as the engagement requires, and you will treat infrastructure drift as a defect to be fixed rather than a fact of life. Production reliability sits with you: you will design monitoring and alerting, run capacity and cost reviews, and lead incident response and post-incident write-ups when something goes wrong, including the client-facing explanation of what happened and what changes as a result. You will mentor less senior engineers on the team, reviewing their infrastructure and pipeline changes and building their judgement rather than just their task list. You will also own security-adjacent hygiene for the environments you manage, including patching cadence, credential rotation and access review, aligning practice with the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight mitigation strategies where the client's own posture calls for it. You will contribute directly to client governance conversations, translating what changed in the infrastructure into terms an operations or delivery lead outside engineering can actually use.

What you bring

At least six years in software engineering with a genuine weighting toward cloud infrastructure and DevOps, including production experience on at least one of AWS, Azure or GCP at a depth beyond using the console. Hands-on infrastructure as code experience, ideally Terraform, sufficient to design a module rather than only apply one someone else wrote. Real CI/CD pipeline ownership, not just participation in one someone else built. Container and orchestration experience, Docker as a baseline and Kubernetes in most engagements. Comfortable scripting in Python or Bash for the automation that inevitably falls outside the standard tooling. Strong incident response instincts, including the discipline to write down what happened while it is still fresh. The ability to mentor without micromanaging.

Nice to have

A current cloud certification (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator or the GCP equivalent). Kubernetes administration certification or comparable production depth. Experience supporting a client in a regulated sector such as financial services or healthcare, where change control and audit trail matter as much as the fix itself. Prior experience in an outsourcing or managed services environment, where you are supporting someone else's platform rather than your own product. Exposure to cost optimisation work on cloud spend, which client stakeholders notice quickly.

What we offer

A senior role with real technical authority over the platforms you support, not a queue of tickets. Genuinely remote work from anywhere in Australia, with the compulsory superannuation guarantee, currently 11.5 per cent and rising to 12 per cent, paid on top of your salary. An annual professional development allowance you can put toward a certification, a conference or focused study time. Direct mentoring responsibility over junior engineers, which is where a senior title starts meaning something rather than just describing tenure. A role inside a genuinely global IT outsourcing operation, which means the platforms you touch and the problems you solve vary far more than they would inside a single product company.
