About Woolworths Group
- 200,000+ bright minds, passionate hearts and unique perspectives connected by a shared Purpose – ‘to create better experiences together for a better tomorrow.’
- Aims to create a truly inclusive workplace where everyone feels that they belong, can be their best selves, and reach their full potential.
The Opportunity
- As the Engineer for the Edge and Linux Fleet, you will own the lifecycle, scalability, and developer experience of our core operating system and container environments.
- Bridge the gap between Engineering (building the automation/base images) and Operations (ensuring 99.9% uptime and compliance across highly distributed edge locations).
- Treat our edge infrastructure and cluster fleet as a product: ensuring it is easy to consume via code (IaC/GitOps), inherently secure, and compute optimized across Edge, Azure, & GCP.
What You’ll Do
- Platform Roadmap: Contribute to the Golden Path for Linux and Red Hat OpenShift deployments at the edge.
- Infrastructure as Product: Partner with Engineering to ensure edge environments are consumable via Woolworths’ automation tooling (Terraform/Ansible/GitOps).
- DevOps Orchestration: Own the CI/CD pipelines that handle image factory builds, automated testing, and fleet wide patch orchestration.
- Security & Compliance: Act as the primary interface for Security teams. Translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable engineering backlogs.
- Operational Excellence: Use Woolworths current reporting & monitoring tools to derive product insights. Identify noisy segments and prioritise engineering fixes.
What You’ll Bring
- 7+ years in IT Infrastructure or Software Engineering, with at least 2–3 years in a Product Environment or Technical Architecture role focusing on edge computing or container platforms.
- Degree in Computing Science or equivalent; Red Hat Certifications (RHCE, EX280 OpenShift) or Cloud Native Computing Foundation Certifications (CKA/CKS) are a significant plus.
- A consultant mindset.
Technical Domain Authority
- Deep knowledge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Kubernetes, and scripting (Bash, Python, or Go).
- Hands on experience with distributed Edge deployments, container runtime management, and hybrid control planes (e.g., Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management).
- Proven experience moving teams from click ops to code based deployments using Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps methodologies (like ArgoCD).
Product Management Craft
- Stakeholder Management: Experience balancing the conflicting needs of App Devs (who want speed) and Security/Ops (who want stability).
- Data Driven Decision Making: Ability to use telemetry to justify platform investments.
- Backlog Governance: Proficiency in JIRA to manage sprints, feature requests, and technical debt.
Security First Philosophy
- Experience with DevSecOps—integrating vulnerability scanning (e.g., container image scanning) and policy as code into the deployment pipeline.
What You’ll Experience
- We embrace diversity of thought to take on challenges with a pragmatic and innovative approach.
- Our culture thrives on mutual respect, care, curiosity, openness, and a proactive attitude.
- We continually seek ways to pair, collaborate, support, and learn from each other as a team.
Everyone belongs at Woolworths Group
- Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are key to realising our purpose of better together for a better tomorrow.
- We aim to create a truly inclusive workplace where everyone feels that they belong, can be their best selves, and reach their full potential.
