Technology & Environment:

• SQL Server 2022+, AWS Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB Atlas
• AWS (IAM, CloudWatch, EC2, Serverless Computing)
• DevOps, CI/CD, Azure DevOps and Git Governance
• Agile, Scrum and ITIL

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This role is unlikely to suit candidates whose experience has been limited to database administration or operational support without broader involvement in database design, platform engineering, automation and enterprise delivery.

Success in this role comes from balancing technical depth with collaboration, continuous improvement and ownership across the entire database delivery lifecycle.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens, hold a minimum Baseline Security Clearance.
