What’s the role?

The Principal DevOps Engineer plays a key role in building and operating Westpac’s enterprise developer platforms, taking technical ownership of GitHub Enterprise and driving secure, scalable and automated CI/CD capabilities, while shaping platform standards, improving developer experience and mentoring engineers across the organisation.

  • Own and operate the enterprise GitHub platform, ensuring it is secure, reliable and scalable for engineering teams
  • Design and evolve standardised CI/CD patterns using GitHub Actions to enable fast, repeatable and secure software delivery
  • Build and manage GitHub Runner capabilities, including environments, lifecycle management, upgrades and monitoring
  • Develop platform automation using APIs and Infrastructure-as-Code to ensure consistent, auditable configurations at scale
  • Partner with Security, Risk, Architecture and Engineering teams while mentoring others and driving technical direction across the platform
What do I need?
  • Proven experience delivering enterprise-scale DevOps or CI/CD platforms, with strong hands-on expertise in GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions and Runners, and CD tools such as Harness, Octopus Deploy and Argo CD
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, ideally Terraform or OpenTofu, with Terraform Enterprise experience desirable.
  • Strong experience with automation and tooling development in Python, and with using APIs to manage platform configuration at scale.
  • Strong understanding of container and runtime platforms, including Docker, Kubernetes and Helm.
  • Comfortable operating across Linux and Windows environments, with strong troubleshooting skills and familiarity with observability and monitoring tooling.
  • Desirable to have experience integrating SaaS platforms into regulated or risk-sensitive environments and improving developer experience through secure-by-default platform design.
  • Passionate about modern engineering practices, strong delivery discipline and creating low-friction paths that help teams move faster without compromising quality.
  • Ideally, you will be part of the wider technical community through mentoring, design leadership or contribution to engineering standards and practices.
