DevOps Engineer

Are you a DevOps Engineer who likes ownership and solving real problems, not just maintaining pipelines? Do you enjoy building automation, improving reliability, and working with a modern cloud stack in a team that values autonomy?

WideSky is an Australian product that's rapidly growing to deliver IoT solutions for the energy, buildings, and industrial sectors. We help customers turn data into insights, enabling them to improve performance, efficiency, and sustainability for customers across Australia and the United States.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer who enjoys working across infrastructure, automation, observability, security, and IoT devices. This role has genuine influence on how our platform operates and evolves, and is ideal for someone who wants to leave things better than they found them.

You will work across our cloud platform, self-hosted services and IoT edge devices, building automation and enhancing systems used daily by our teams and customers. You will:

• Improve and maintain the infrastructure and automation that powers WideSky, including backups and patching.
• Run and improve our logging and monitoring.
• Configure and maintain our fleet of IoT edge devices.
• Strengthen reliability, performance, and security across the platform.
• Automate provisioning, deployments, and operational workflows, making good use of AI coding tools.
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues across applications, services, devices, and infrastructure.
• Own the infrastructure side of our SOC 2 compliance and help embed secure-by-default practices.
• Write clear runbooks and documentation for our infrastructure.
• Work closely with the technology team and the CTO to drive meaningful improvements.
• Have the freedom to propose changes, lead small initiatives, and influence how WideSky evolves as we continue to scale.

• Real ownership and the freedom to influence systems and tooling.

• A modern tech environment across cloud, automation, observability, and security.
• A hybrid and flexible work environment with a focus on work-life balance.
