Python Developer - Automation/DevOps

Python Automation Engineer

Sydney, Australia

Competitive Base + Bonus

A high-performance technology team operating in a fast-moving, real-time environment is looking for a strong Python Engineer to build and automate critical operational workflows supporting production systems.

This is not a pure DevOps role. The core focus is building automation tooling in Python, streamlining processes, reducing manual intervention, improving reliability, and supporting business-critical systems that operate at scale.

You’ll work across a mix of Python engineering, infrastructure automation, deployment tooling, and production support, partnering closely with technical stakeholders in a highly performance-driven environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building Python automation tools and workflows
• Automating operational and deployment processes
• Supporting distributed, real-time systems
• Improving system reliability, monitoring, and alerting
• Working across Linux and Windows environments
• Managing deployment pipelines and release processes
• Supporting data flows and messaging systems

Tech stack highlights include:

Python SQL Linux Windows CI/CD Kafka/Airflow

Looking for:

• Strong commercial Python development experience
• Genuine automation mindset (not just scripting)
• Experience with production systems / operational tooling
• Exposure to DevOps tooling and deployment automation
• Database experience (SQL / operational data handling)
• Comfortable working in technical, fast-paced environments

Trading or financial markets experience is beneficial, but not required. Strong engineers from other high-performance environments are encouraged to apply.

Must already be based in Australia.
