Cloud DevOps Engineer (AWS)
Cloud DevOps Engineer
We're partnering with a enterprise sized State Government Department to find a Cloud DevOps Engineer to join their team, a group focused on modernising customer systems and building the secure, scalable delivery foundations that let AI-enabled capabilities move from prototype to production.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who genuinely believes in DevOps and GitOps principles and wants to own the delivery pipeline end to end, not just support it.
