Contract | Immediate Start | High-Impact Migration Program

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Platform Engineer to lead a large-scale migration to GitHub Enterprise, helping shape the future of engineering across a modern Azure environment for our Financial Services client. 

This is a hands-on contract role where you’ll design and deliver end-to-end migration patterns, establish GitHub best practices, and ensure seamless CI/CD capability across multiple teams.

What you’ll be doing
  • Lead the migration of repositories from Bitbucket and Azure DevOps to GitHub Enterprise
  • Design and implement scalable, repeatable migration patterns
  • Rebuild and optimise CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
  • Ensure full parity across build, test, security, and deployment workflows
  • Implement secure cloud deployment using OIDC (no long-lived credentials)
  • Establish GitHub governance: branch protections, environments, permissions, and secrets
  • Configure runners, environments, and deployment controls
  • Enable logging, auditing, and reporting across the platform
  • Support teams with templates, onboarding, and best practices
  • Work closely with Platform, Security, and Engineering teams to deliver migration waves
  • Provide clear updates on risks, progress, and key decisions
What you’ll bring
  • Strong experience migrating to GitHub Enterprise
  • Hands-on expertise with GitHub Actions and CI/CD design
  • Solid experience with Azure and automated cloud deployments
  • Experience with OIDC or federated identity in cloud environments
  • Deep understanding of Git (branches, tagging, repo strategies)
  • Knowledge of GitHub governance and platform standards
Nice to have
  • Experience with GitHub Packages/artifact management
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale platform or cloud transformations
  • Background working with security and architecture teams
Why this role?
  • Own and shape a major engineering platform migration
  • Work with modern tooling across GitHub and Azure
  • High visibility role with real impact across multiple teams
  • Join a collaborative, tech-first environment focused on best practice

Our client is based in Melbourne CBD with 2-3 days p/w in office, the rest from home. 

Although this contract will initially go for 3 months, there's high liklihood of extension.
