• Advanced experience with Terraform.

• Ability to build reusable modules and manage environments across development, test, and production.

• Proficiency in Git, scripting, and coding languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar.

• Experience building automation workflows, monitoring and alerting, system integrations such as APIs and event-driven automation, and developing solutions with or without AI coding assistants.

• Exposure to managed services environments.

• Experience managing enterprise CI/CD platforms, such as Azure DevOps or GitHub, used by multiple teams.

• Understanding of reliability, observability tools such as Grafana, and SRE principles.

• Experience with IT Service Management, including ITSM tools such as Jira Service Management, and familiarity with change, incident, and problem management processes.

• Relevant certifications are advantageous, such as Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate, AWS Certified Developer – Associate, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate.

• The legal right to work in New Zealand, or the ability to independently obtain the legal right to work in New Zealand.

It Would Be Advantageous If You Have

Experience working within or alongside SecOps teams, with familiarity in cloud security best practices, vulnerability management and patching, security monitoring and alerting tools such as Azure Defender or AWS Security Hub, and incident response and remediation workflows.
