Cloud Platform Engineer - Newcastle or Sydney based

Overview

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.

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) Experience with Azure Site Recovery (ASR) Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform or Bicep) Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (APRA preferred)
