Senior DevOps Engineer

“It begins at Bendigo Bank”

We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you. 

About the opportunity

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Bendigo Bank, you will be at the core of our engineering capability. You will build, secure, and operate the state-of-the-art platforms and pipelines that enable us to ship high-quality software, safely and at speed.

Blending deep expertise in both software and cloud engineering, you will automate everything you can, design for ultimate reliability, and simplify the development lifecycle for our product teams. This is a critical role in delivering exceptional value to our customers and communities and contributing to their prosperity.

In this role you’ll get to…

• Utilise Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD pipelines to design, implement, and operate secure, scalable cloud resources across all environments on AWS and GCP.
• Holistically engineer and manage our Kubernetes platforms (EKS and GKE) at scale, covering their entire lifecycle including provisioning, upgrades, security hardening, performance tuning, and the management of core controllers, services, and policies.
• Own and enhance our GitLab CI/CD pipelines from commit to production, embedding security (SAST/DAST/SCA, container scanning), quality, and automation to enable efficient and secure deployments.
• Ensure the resilience and reliability of our core platforms by being accountable during operational events and incidents, managing risks, and using these opportunities to implement systemic improvements and build resilient patterns into our architecture.
• Collaborate with application teams and key stakeholders across the Technology division, including teams like Security, Data and AI, SRE, and Cloud to deliver robust and integrated platform solutions.
• Leverage our AI platform to innovate and find opportunities that improve our products, services, and the overall developer experience. 

What you’ll bring to the role 

To be successful in the role you will have: …

• Deep knowledge of cloud architecture and hands-on operational experience with AWS and/or GCP.
• Strong hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), with a preference for Terraform.
• Expertise in containerisation with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), including ecosystem tools like Helm, in large-scale production environments.
• Proven experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, implementing GitOps principles with ArgoCD, and managing artifacts with registries like JFrog Artifactory.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language such as Python, Go, Bash, or TypeScript.
• A platform engineering mindset with a solid understanding of testing, automation, security, and delivering a seamless developer experience.
• Familiarity with modern AI concepts, including Large Language Models (LLMs) and agent-based systems, would be a significant advantage.

So, why work with us?

• Want big impact that matters? Here, you’ll know your work directly benefits the customers and communities we all serve.
• Want to be more than just a number? Join a team that truly values you – and that gets more and more diverse every day.
• Want career opportunity AND flexibility? Achieve both here, where we know that balance and progression go hand in hand.

You’ll also get access to a great range of benefits, including:

• Hybrid work? Flexible hours? A compressed work week? Our flexible work options are designed to suit your life.  We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team.  We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls.
• Health and well-being support, including discounted gym memberships, private health insurance options, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your immediate family members.
• Take your learning to the next level through opportunities like our corporate university ‘BEN U’ or at an external provider of your choice.
