DevOps Engineer – NMS SaaS (Operations, Deployment & Automation Enablement)

Why Nasdaq

When you work at Nasdaq, you’re working for more open and transparent markets so that more people can access opportunities. Connections can be made, jobs can be created, and communities can thrive. We want all our employees to have access to opportunity, too. That means planning for career growth, ensuring you have the tools you need, and promoting an inclusive culture where we’re all valued for our unique perspective.

Here, you will work for a global tech leader committed to breaking down barriers to inclusive prosperity. We see technology as a means to free people up to work together more productively and effectively by centralizing data, analytics, and market intelligence.

Here, we’re committed to building a more diverse and inclusive workforce. Not only is it our responsibility to do better, but we also need representative voices to power the fresh thinking that is vital for our business and our clients.

What We Offer

We are looking for a skilled DevOps engineer who contributes directly to customer delivery by focusing on deployment and operational quality and provides strong technical depth and hands‑on experience building and operating CI/CD automation / testing pipelines in a cloud‑based SaaS environment. AWS experience is preferred, though strong Linux back‑end, scripting, and DevOps automation experience (building, not just executing) in any Cloud/SaaS platform is essential. The role is based in Sydney within the Market Surveillance delivery and service team supporting Nasdaq’s global SaaS customers.

You can expect an autonomous but fast-paced work environment where you are recognized for your results and ability to drive things forward. Every day brings many opportunities to learn and grow and rewards with a global impact we create.

In return, you will receive a competitive salary package, incredible private health insurance, employee stock purchase plan, a global mentoring program, counseling through our Employee Assistance Program, gym sponsorship and more.

What You Will Do

• Provide value‑add to the NMS SaaS delivery team by improving the quality, reliability, and consistency of deployment / operational capabilities of the service

• Contribute directly to the SaaS delivery process, supplementing the SaaS Delivery team on active customer onboarding, upgrade, and delivery projects

• Maintain an acute focus on service quality and delivery efficiency, working with team members to improve deployment, operations, and automation/regression testing practices. Manual testing will be required and is naturally part of the role, and is required to complement the build-out of any automation improvements.

• Design, develop, and evolve deployment, test, and QA automation pipelines to increase test coverage breadth and depth

• Quickly understand the operational and deployment requirements of NMS SaaS solutions and translate them into targeted automation and pipeline improvements.

• Apply strong back‑end engineering skills—including Linux/Unix proficiency and scripting—to build, enhance, and maintain CI/CD automation and pipeline tooling

• Complement and work closely with other DevOps and solution specialists to ensure deployment and automation pipelines integrate consistently and cleanly with platform capabilities

What We Expect

• Education Required: Degree qualified in a discipline related to Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent work experience. 

• At least 5 years of recent experience in a hand-on Linux back-end DevOps Engineering role developing automation capabilities within SaaS environments.

• Provide value‑add to the NMS SaaS delivery team by improving the quality, reliability, and consistency of deployment and operational quality of the service

• Contribute directly to the SaaS delivery process, supplementing the SaaS Delivery team on active customer onboarding, upgrade, and delivery projects

• Maintain an acute focus on service quality and delivery efficiency, working with team members to improve deployment practices, operations, and automation/regression testing

• Design, develop, and evolve deployment, test, and QA automation pipelines to both execute releases and increase test coverage breadth and depth

• Demonstrate the ability to design and operate an end‑to‑end development workflow, enabling rapid iteration from IDE‑based development, through local build and test, into CI/CD pipeline validation, and onward to controlled production rollout

• Quickly grasp the operational and deployment requirements of NMS SaaS solutions and translate them into targeted pipeline and automation improvements

• Apply strong back‑end engineering skills—including Linux/Unix proficiency and Python/scripting—to build, enhance, and maintain CI/CD automation and deployment tooling

• Work closely with tooling and infrastructure specialists (you won’t need to build AWS infrastructure As Code, but you will work with those that do) - to ensure deployment automation integrates cleanly with shared platforms and delivery constraints

• Document and clearly explain DevOps tooling, workflows, and operational processes, enabling others to develop, test, deploy, and operate automation safely and consistently

Desirable Experience

• AWS‑based SaaS environments

• Containerised build and deployment workflows

• Blue‑green or low‑risk deployment strategies

• Regulated or change‑controlled environments

• Configuration management tooling

• Building and deploying containerised applications

• Financial services or market infrastructure experience (nice to have)

What Success Looks Like

• Customer delivery work benefits from consistent, automated deployment and test automation practices

• You will be quick to grasp how our service and applications work, and how to manually verify changes. This will help you to understand common and repetitive tasks that would benefit from automation

• You can develop and test automation changes locally before promoting changes into official pipelines

• Deployment and test automation is reliable, repeatable, and well understood

• CI/CD pipelines are easy to operate, troubleshoot, and evolve

• Documentation reduces reliance on tribal knowledge and improves delivery confidence
