INTRODUCTION
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Azure Infrastructure Automation Engineer to help us mature and extend how infrastructure is delivered across our organization. We already have a working Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) framework and a meaningful library of Terraform modules in place—this role is about taking that foundation to the next level: expanding our module coverage, refining and hardening the existing environment, and building a new AI-enabled self-service layer on top. The central mission is to make infrastructure self-service. You will grow our standardized, opinionated Terraform module library and expose it through an AI-enabled developer experience—so that engineers can describe what they need and have compliant, production-ready infrastructure generated for them automatically, with our standards and guardrails baked in. If you are excited about Terraform at scale, platform engineering, and modern AI tooling to real infrastructure problems, this role is for you.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
What You'll Work On:
- Expanding the module library – building on our existing Terraform modules to broaden coverage across our Azure estate, standardizing patterns and ensuring security, naming, tagging, and policy guardrails are built in by default.
- Refining the existing IaC framework – hardening and improving our current Terraform and Terragrunt environment for maintainability, consistency, and quality, with stronger linting, validation, testing, and CI/CD.
- An AI-enabled self-service experience (the new build) – an IaC MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and configured agent skills so that developers using Claude Code or GitHub Copilot can interrogate our approved modules and standards, understand the “rules of the road,” and automatically build the infrastructure their projects need.
- Automated governance – change-management automation integrated with ServiceNow, plus developer-facing workflows and golden paths delivered through Port.io.
Key Responsibilities:
- Refine, harden, and extend our existing IaC framework using Terraform and Terragrunt, improving consistency, maintainability, and quality across environments.
- Expand and standardize our existing Terraform module library, authoring additional modules to broaden Azure coverage, with secure defaults, consistent naming/tagging, and embedded policy guardrails.
- Establish and enforce IaC quality standards using TFLint and policy-as-code, including linting, validation, automated testing, and pre-merge checks.
- Build the AI-assisted self-service platform: stand up and maintain an IaC MCP server and author the agent skills/context that encode our standards, so developers can use Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to query approved modules and generate compliant infrastructure for their projects.
- Automate change management by integrating IaC deployment pipelines with ServiceNow (change requests, approvals, CMDB updates) to keep delivery fast while staying audit-ready.
- Design and implement self-service workflows, scaffolding, and golden paths through Port.io and other developer-portal/automation tooling.
- Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
- Write and maintain supporting automation in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.
- Manage identity, access, and authentication patterns through Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including RBAC and least-privilege design for the platform.
- Partner with development teams to remove provisioning bottlenecks, gather feedback on the self-service experience, and continuously improve it.
- Help grow and mentor the platform team as it scales, championing platform-engineering and self-service principles across the organization.
- Ensure infrastructure and automation are secure, reliable, and compliant with organizational policies and best practices.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Mastery-level Terraform and Terragrunt for Infrastructure-as-Code, including authoring reusable modules and managing infrastructure at scale.
- Hands-on experience with TFLint and IaC quality tooling—linting, validation, automated testing, and enforcing standards across a codebase.
- Deep Azure expertise across IaaS and PaaS services and the surrounding ecosystem.
- Proven track record designing standardized, reusable module libraries and opinionated IaC patterns that other teams build on.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.
- Solid experience with CI/CD and GitOps workflows for infrastructure delivery.
- Working knowledge of identity, access, and authentication using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and RBAC.
- A genuine platform-engineering mindset—you care about developer experience and building safe, easy self-service for others.
- Ability to design secure, scalable, and resilient automation solutions.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience building or integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, or otherwise exposing tools and data to AI coding assistants.
- Familiarity with Claude Code and/or GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development workflows, including configuring agent skills, context, or guardrails.
- Hands-on experience with Port.io or another Internal Developer Portal (e.g., Backstage).
- Experience automating change management with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms.
- Policy-as-code experience (e.g., OPA/Conftest, Sentinel, Azure Policy) and IaC security scanning (Checkov, tfsec/Trivy).
- Infrastructure testing experience (e.g., Terratest, native Terraform tests).
- Familiarity with Kubernetes / AKS and container orchestration.
- Experience with configuration management and orchestration tooling (e.g., Ansible).
- Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and incident-response practices.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across multiple teams.
CERTIFICATIONS (PREFERRED):
- HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (or Terraform Authoring & Operations Professional)
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert
- Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)
- Other relevant cloud, automation, or security certifications are a plus.
COMPENSATION
- The pay range that the employer in good faith reasonably expects to pay for this position is $36.98/hour - $57.79/hour. Our benefits include medical, dental, vision and retirement benefits. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Infrastructure Automation Engineer
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. recruiters
Frame your experience in U.S.-standard terminology: Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and CI/CD toolchains map cleanly to specialty occupation criteria. A three-year Australian bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for infrastructure or DevOps roles. Prior LCA activity signals a hiring team that already understands the E-3 process and won't stall at the sponsorship conversation.
Search Migrate Mate for E-3 sponsorship roles
Migrate Mate filters Infrastructure Automation Engineer jobs by employers willing to sponsor the E-3 visa, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored an Australian. It's built specifically for this visa category, not adapted from a general job board.
Clarify the LCA timeline before signing an offer
The employer must file the LCA with DOL before your visa application can proceed. Standard DOL processing runs around seven business days. Confirm your start date accounts for this step so there's no gap between your acceptance and your consulate appointment.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation. For infrastructure roles where your job duties must precisely match the specialty occupation definition, having expert preparation reduces the risk of a 221(g) administrative hold.
Carry role-specific documentation to your consulate interview
Bring your employment offer letter, certified LCA, degree certificate, and any cloud certifications such as AWS or Azure credentials. Consular officers assessing specialty occupation for automation roles respond well to evidence that your duties require a specific technical degree field, not just general IT experience.
E-3 Visa Infrastructure Automation Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Infrastructure Automation Engineer jobs that offer E-3 sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Infrastructure Automation Engineer roles filtered by E-3 visa sponsorship. Most general job boards don't distinguish between employers willing to sponsor Australians and those that only hire U.S. citizens or H-1B holders. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this visa category, so every result reflects an employer who can support the E-3 process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Infrastructure Automation Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as computer science, information systems, or software engineering. Roles focused on Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, or cloud platform automation consistently meet the specialty occupation standard. Generic IT administrator titles that accept any degree field are harder to support, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Infrastructure Automation Engineers?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no numerical cap, so you can apply and receive approval any time of year. The H-1B is subject to an 85,000-slot annual cap with a randomised lottery, meaning most applicants aren't selected regardless of qualifications. For Australian infrastructure engineers, the E-3 is a direct path to a U.S. role without the lottery uncertainty that blocks most H-1B candidates.
What happens to my E-3 status if I change employers or move to a new infrastructure role?
Each E-3 is tied to a specific employer and job. If you change companies or your duties change substantially, your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa, which typically requires returning to an Australian consulate. You can begin working for the new employer once the consulate issues the new visa, so planning the transition timeline in advance is essential.
