Our client is a mid-sized industry super fund known for its collaborative culture and unwavering commitment to member-first outcomes. With a strong focus on operational resilience and strategic transformation, the organisation is currently completing a major migration to Microsoft Azure to build a secure, compliant, and scalable cloud environment.
The Opportunity
We're seeking a reliable and technically capable Cloud Platform Engineer to take ownership of the Azure environment following a large-scale cloud migration. This is a steady-state, post-migration role focused on platform stability, governance, and performance, not ongoing project delivery or fast-paced DevOps transformation. Following the internal promotion of a key team member, a gap has emerged in the cloud capability. The right person will bring hands-on Azure experience, strong infrastructure knowledge, and a grounded mindset suited to compliance-driven operations in a regulated environment.
Key Deliverables (First 6-12 Months)
Manage patching, cost optimisation, governance, and audit readiness
Maintain a stable and secure Azure environment (IaaS, PaaS, hybrid identity, networking)
Refresh and align existing Infrastructure as Code with current production state
Support and execute annual disaster recovery testing (ASR)
Time Allocation by Responsibility (Approximate)
Governance, patching, cost optimisation, and auditing - 40%
Support and maintenance of the Azure environment - 30%
Infrastructure as Code tasks - 20%
Annual disaster recovery testing (ASR) - 10%
Ideal Experience
AZ-104 certification (mandatory)
2+ years of hands-on Azure operations experience
Strong understanding of Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, VPNs, routing)

Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform or Bicep)
Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (APRA preferred)
Desirable
Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and pipelines
