At AC3, our purpose is to make technology real, and as leaders in secure multi cloud solutions, we get to bring that purpose to life for our customers every day. We're an Australian owned ICT Managed Services Provider with teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland, supporting more than 700 enterprise organisations and over 50% of the NSW State Government.

We're committed to a workplace that fosters open communication, flexible working arrangements, continuous learning, and providing support to get through life's changing seasons. We live by the AC3 way - Work Wise, Work Humble, and Work Honest.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platforms SRE team within AC3's Hybrid Cloud Practice. This team plays a key role in building, deploying and improving the Kubernetes platforms that underpin AC3's services and broader hybrid cloud environment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys project delivery, then staying close to the ongoing engineering that keeps Kubernetes environments stable, secure and performing at a high standard.

AC3 is dedicated to grow the representation of women in technology and are warmly encouraged to apply.

What you'll do

• Deploy and improve Kubernetes platforms across AC3's hybrid cloud environment
• Manage day to day Kubernetes operations including application deployments, upgrades, pod rescheduling, host draining and control plane scaling
• Build and expand automation across the platform using tools such as GitHub Actions, Ansible, Puppet and Jenkins

What we'd love to see?

• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes platforms in on premises or datacentre environments (ideally on RHEL or similar)
• Working knowledge of Python, Bash or similar scripting languages
• Experience deploying applications and managing operational changes across Kubernetes environments

A plus if you have

• Experience with Rancher
• Exposure to AI or GPU based workloads (or willingness to learn)
• Experience with automation and orchestration tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Jenkins, vRO or VMware Aria

You don't need to meet 100% of this criteria - if you bring passion and curiosity, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits

• Company benefits including discounted lifestyle services such as health insurance, salary packaging, hybrid work, and half day Fridays once a month
• A culture built on respect, where you can flag conduct that feels off and rely on a fair, confidential process that prioritises your safety and wellbeing.
• Join supportive colleagues in groups such as Rise Up: a networking group for women in tech to learn in a positive and safe environment, and Speak Up Advisors: a group who help maintain a safe space for raising concerns.
• Structured career development plans that help about 45 AC3ers progress into new opportunities every year.
• $120,000 - $140,000 + Superannuation + Bonus + Allowances + Generous on call rates
