DevOps Architect

Overview The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) leads the Australian Government’s efforts to improve cyber security. We are part of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and our role is to help make Australia the most secure place to connect online. ASD has an ongoing requirement for DevOps Architects to work in support of various cyber projects within an integrated workforce. In the role, you will be responsible for the creation, iteration, and maintenance of architecture within the key realm of Application and DevOps embodying the key principles, methods and models that describe the organisation\'s future state, and that enable its evolution across ASD. This typically involves the interpretation of business goals and drivers; the translation of business strategy and objectives into an operating model; the strategic assessment of current capabilities; the identification of required changes in capabilities; and the description of inter-relationships between people, organisation, service, process, data, information, technology and the external environment. The architecture development process supports the formation of the constraints, standards and guiding principles necessary to define, assure and govern the required evolution; this facilitates change in the organisation\'s structure, business processes, systems and infrastructure in order to achieve predictable transition to the intended state. Responsibilities Develop capability roadmaps, models and plans to drive forward an organisation\'s cloud adoption. Manage compliance with architectural governance, including Design Authority endorsement, to ensure design consistency and application of architectural standards across the program and planned solutions. Deliver capability in an organisation utilising structured technical and delivery methodologies such as the systems engineering lifecycle or SAFe Agile framework. Define and create artefacts for the adoption of Microservices and DevSecOps Architecture. Maintain strong administrative and time management skills, with the ability to effectively prioritise work, allocate tasks and work independently when required.
