Senior Chaos Engineer (Resilience Automation Specialist) - Enterprise Client Partnership

We are partnering with an enterprise client to strengthen platform resilience, validate fault tolerance, and ensure zero-downtime reliability for mission-critical digital systems. We are seeking a skilled Chaos Engineer (Resilience Automation Specialist) to represent our organisation and take technical ownership of fault injection experiments, automated resilience testing, and blast-radius verification.

In this role, you will bridge Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and systems architecture within our client’s environment. You will intentionally simulate real-world failure scenarios—such as network latency, node dropouts, database failovers, and region outages—to uncover hidden failure modes and prove that distributed systems self-heal under duress.

As the employer of record, we provide full visa and migration support for qualified engineering talent deployed to our clients:

• 482 On-Hire Sponsorship Transfers: Fully supported for qualified candidates currently in Australia on an existing 482 visa looking to transfer sponsorship to work with our clients.
• New 482 Visa Sponsorship: Available for qualified candidates meeting the commercial experience and technical requirements.
