Software Specialist (Developer Platforms)

Software Specialist (Developer Platforms)

Great engineering experiences don't happen by accident. Behind every successful deployment, automated workflow and secure code repository is a platform that helps developers do their best work.

As a Software Specialist (Developer Platforms), you'll play a key role in shaping and evolving the platforms, tooling and automation capabilities that support software delivery across ASB. You'll help engineering teams build, deploy and operate software more effectively while contributing to the continual improvement of developer experience, platform reliability and delivery practices. The role has a strong focus on GitHub Enterprise, engineering enablement, automation and modern platform technologies.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices. You'll combine hands-on technical expertise with a consultative approach, helping teams adopt better ways of working while influencing the future direction of our engineering platforms.

About the Team

You'll be joining the Digital Workplace Platform team within ASB's Digital & Engineering Practice. The team is responsible for the platforms, tooling and automation capabilities that enable engineering teams across the organisation to build and deliver software safely, securely and efficiently.

Working across source control, CI/CD, cloud platforms, automation and developer tooling, the team plays an important role in improving how software is developed, deployed and supported. From GitHub Enterprise through to Kubernetes platforms and delivery automation, you'll help drive continuous improvement and create better outcomes for engineers across ASB.

About the Role

This is a hands-on technical role focused on designing, delivering and supporting modern developer platforms and engineering tooling. You'll work closely with engineering teams to understand their needs, improve delivery practices and help unlock greater automation across the software delivery lifecycle.

A significant part of the role involves supporting and evolving GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners and associated platform capabilities. You'll also contribute to cloud-native platform solutions, CI/CD pipelines, container platforms and automation initiatives that help teams deliver software faster and more effectively.

About You

You're someone who enjoys enabling other engineers to succeed. You understand both software development and infrastructure concepts and are comfortable navigating the space between the two. You enjoy solving technical challenges, improving delivery processes and helping teams adopt better ways of working.

You'll be naturally curious, eager to learn and excited by emerging technologies. You enjoy collaborating with others, communicating technical concepts clearly and building solutions that make a meaningful difference to how engineers work every day. Whether your background is platform engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering or software engineering, you'll bring a practical mindset and a passion for continuous improvement.
