Platform Engineer

DWS is seeking multiple Platform Engineers to play a key role in the modernisation of CI/CD & DevSecOps capabilities across .NET C# application portfolios. This role contributes to the migration of CI pipelines from legacy tooling to GitHub Actions , establishment of DevOps guardrails , dependency remediation, deployment modernisation, virtualised testing, and SRE uplift.

The work is intentionally phased: stabilise CI first, reduce risk through automated security controls and audit evidence, then support deployment automation and reliability uplift where repositories are technically eligible.

Where : Sydney or Melbourne
Type : ACN Contractor OR Max Term
Start : Immediate, max 1 week notice
Length : 12+ months
Style : Hybrid; 3+ days onsite
Salary : Up to $1000/day (ACN) or up to $200K inc super (Max Term)

Essential Skills & Experience:

• GitHub Actions workflow engineering: hands-on YAML workflow design, reusable workflows, environment variables, secrets, runners, and Golden Path templates.
• C# .NET Core applications: previous experience building and supporting .NET-based APIs and applications
• TeamCity, Jenkins, or equivalent CI tools: ability to interpret legacy build configurations and convert into GitHub Actions workflows, or review PRs generated by modernisation processes.
• CI/CD and platform engineering: strong understanding of build, validation, packaging, deployment pipeline design, governance, and cutover planning.
• PowerShell and automation: ability to read, refactor, replace, or modernise PowerShell-based build and deployment automation rather than lifting legacy scripts unchanged.
• DevOps controls: integrating and enforcing Snyk, SAST/quality gates, SonarQube, Wiz or IaC scanning where applicable, vulnerability thresholds, and fail conditions within CI pipelines.
• Repository governance: Git/GitHub practices including branch protection, PR workflows, CODEOWNERS, repository metadata, ownership, and automated SDLC and audit evidence generation.
• Artifact and package management: Artifactory, NuGet/NPM feeds, package versioning, dependency resolution, and build artifact packaging.

Preferred additional skills (not essential):

• Octopus Deploy and deployment modernisation, including migration toward GitHub Actions-based deployment patterns.
• AWS cloud engineering, including AMI builds, Windows Server/IIS, IAM and networking fundamentals, and operational automation.
• Contract testing using Specmatic or equivalent API compatibility tooling.
• Selenium to Playwright migration, test suite remediation, coverage gates, and CI-based test scheduling or triggering.
• Mock data, mock APIs, and virtualised test environments to enable early-stage testing.
