Cloud Engineer

Summary

Azure cloud engineer leading large-scale workload migrations using IaC, Azure Migrate, and strict security frameworks for a government client in Canberra.

Salary: AUD 170000 per annum

Azure Engineer
Cloud Migration Program
Location: Canberra, ACT
Clearance: NV1 - (this requires Australian Citizenship)
Work Model: Hybrid
Opportunity: Permanent Full‑Time

About the Role
A major transformation program is underway, and our client is expanding it's team with experienced Azure Engineers who can help deliver large‑scale workload migrations into a secure, enterprise cloud environment. You’ll play a hands‑on role across build, migration, cutover, and post‑implementation support, working within a structured change‑controlled setting.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Deploy Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) templates to stand up core cloud components including compute, storage, and networking.
  • Execute migration activities using Azure Migrate, runbooks, and approved change windows.
  • Support test cycles and validation ahead of production cutover.
  • Produce clear technical documentation and contribute to change management processes.
  • Provide short‑term Hypercare support and assist with SOP creation.
  • Operate within privileged Azure subscriptions while adhering to strict security and compliance frameworks.

What You Bring
  • Strong hands‑on experience across Azure IaaS/PaaS and Azure Migrate tooling.
  • IaC authoring skills using ARM, Bicep, or Terraform.
  • Solid grounding in either cloud platform engineering (compute, storage, landing zones) or cloud networking/security (firewalls, load balancers, DNS/DHCP, NSGs).
  • Comfort working within CAB‑governed environments and structured change processes.
  • Understanding of cloud migration methodologies (8Rs framework).

Nice‑to‑Have Skills
  • Experience delivering migration factory engagements.
  • Familiarity with Australian Government cyber frameworks (ISM, Essential Eight, DSPF).
  • Scripting capability in PowerShell, Python, or similar.

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll be joining a high‑performing cloud team delivering meaningful transformation work across critical environments. Expect strong professional development pathways, access to industry certifications, internal mobility options, and a workplace that genuinely invests in its people.


Eligibility
  • Must be a Australian Citizenship with a NV1 Security Clearance (mandatory)
