Senior Edge Infrastructure Platform Engineer | Retail Tech Powerhouse

• Location: Sydney (Norwest, NSW)
• Work Model: Hybrid (2 to 3 days onsite per week)
• Technology Stack: Red Hat OpenShift, Linux, Ansible, Azure IoT Hub, GitOps, Omnissa

About the Opportunity

Are you excited by the challenge of managing a digital network that powers over 1,000 physical stores and massive logistics distribution centres across Australia and New Zealand?

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Edge Infrastructure Platform Engineer to join our Edge Infrastructure Platform team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between abstract technical blueprints and real-world system delivery. Treating our vast physical footprint as a Cloud-Native Product, you will write the automation, build the pipelines, and deploy the container environments that keep our distributed edge nodes secure, optimised, and exceptionally reliable.

What You'll Do

• Hands-on Platform Deployment: Provision, configure, and operate core edge compute nodes and single-node cluster patterns leveraging Red Hat OpenShift and enterprise Linux.
• Drive Infrastructure Automation: Write and govern crisp, maintainable Ansible playbooks and declarative GitOps pipelines (Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions) to automate software delivery to the edge of our network.
• Secure the Supply Chain: Embed automated security perimeters, host hardening standards, and vulnerability scanning directly into infrastructure deployment tracks.
• Implement IoT & Integration: Support high-velocity data ingestion pathways, optimising distributed messaging protocols (MQTT, CoAP) and connections to Azure IoT Hub.
• Orchestrate Mobility Systems: Deploy and support ruggedised retail Android device solutions, managing configurations and profiles within the Omnissa MDM platform.
• Resolve Complex Anomalies: Deliver high-tier technical support and performance tuning across our distributed container and VM estates.

What You'll Bring

• The Pedigree: 5+ years of progressive platform engineering, systems administration, or DevOps delivery experience.
• Fleet Management Scale: A proven background managing, patching, and upgrading multi-site infrastructure environments or highly distributed networks.
• Deep Code & Pipeline Expertise: Advanced capability building automated CI/CD frameworks alongside extensive practical experience writing dry, reusable Ansible automation.
• Core Tech Authority: Direct engineering familiarity with edge host provisioning, minimal Linux server lifecycles, and container internals.
• Collaborative Spirit: A technical curiosity that thrives on knowledge sharing, collaborative problem-solving, and close cross-functional teamwork.

What You'll Experience

• Scale Like Nowhere Else: Run engineering initiatives that immediately scale code and configurations out to thousands of local on-premise components.
• A Culture of Care: Work within an environment built on mutual respect, active peer pairing, and deep technical experimentation.
• Belonging & Flexibility: Enjoy structured hybrid arrangements that balance deep teamwork with tailored workflows to help you perform at your best.
