About the Role Mind Supernova is looking for a
DevOps Engineer to join our engineering team and support the reliability and observability of a large-scale, consolidated on-premise Kubernetes platform in an Australian telecommunications environment.
This role is strongly focused on SRE, platform reliability, monitoring, observability, and uptime, rather than traditional CI/CD-only DevOps work.
Key Responsibilities
Ensure high availability, reliability, and performance of Linux and Kubernetes platforms.
Build and manage monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability solutions.
Implement Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, or similar observability stacks.
Monitor platform health, capacity, performance, and reliability.
Work closely with Platform Engineers to troubleshoot infrastructure and Kubernetes issues.
Automate operational tasks and reduce manual operational toil using SRE practices.
Support incident response, root-cause analysis, and reliability improvements.
Maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation where required.
Implement infrastructure security hardening and operational best practices.
Technical RequirementsMust Have
3 years of hands-on Linux system administration in production.
Strong experience with Linux environments such as RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu.
Production experience with Docker.
Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes clusters in production.
Strong understanding of Kubernetes networking and troubleshooting.
Experience with Kubernetes monitoring, logging, and observability.
Strong knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, or similar tools.
Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI.
Experience with Terraform or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
Strong understanding of infrastructure security and production operations.
Nice to Have
Experience with SUSE Linux and on-premise Kubernetes.
Experience with Kubernetes ingress controllers, service meshes, and network policies.
Experience with distributed tracing and advanced observability.
Experience with AWS environments and network segmentation.
Experience with firewalls, VPNs, WAF, and network security.
Experience implementing automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.
Experience with SRE practices, SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets.
Pre-Screening Questions
Are you available to start within the next 4 weeks?
Can you work with at least 4 hours overlap with AEST?
Do you have 3 years of production Linux administration experience?
Have you managed the full Linux server lifecycle, including provisioning, patching, and decommissioning?
Do you have 2 years of production Docker experience?
Have you deployed and managed production Kubernetes clusters?
Do you have experience with Kubernetes networking and observability?
Have you built monitoring stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, or similar?
Have you managed CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar?
Do you have hands-on experience with Terraform or other IaC tools?
Do you have experience with infrastructure security hardening, firewalls, VPNs, or WAF?
Have you worked with on-premise Linux/Kubernetes environments?
Have you applied SRE principles to improve platform reliability and reduce operational toil?
Ideal Candidate We are looking for a DevOps/SRE engineer who is highly focused on production reliability rather than simply building deployment pipelines.
The ideal candidate can operate Linux and Kubernetes platforms, build strong observability systems, troubleshoot production incidents, automate operational work, and work closely with infrastructure engineers to maintain a highly available platform
