Job Description

Infrastructure Systems Specialist


Build and strengthen the networks that keep one of New Zealand's largest technology environments running


Modern banking depends on resilient, secure and highly available infrastructure. Behind every digital interaction sits a complex network and compute environment that needs to perform at scale, recover quickly and continuously evolve.


We're looking for an Infrastructure Systems Specialist to join a team focused on strengthening and modernising critical infrastructure across ASB. This is a hands-on role where you'll help improve the health, resilience and lifecycle management of core network platforms, contributing to large-scale upgrade programmes, vulnerability remediation, operational improvements and automation initiatives.


This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving real infrastructure challenges, wants to work alongside experienced specialists, and is motivated by seeing the direct impact of their work. You'll be supported by a highly capable team while building deeper expertise across networking, infrastructure operations and automation.


About the Team


You'll join a specialist infrastructure engineering team within ASB's technology function, responsible for supporting and evolving critical network and compute platforms that underpin essential banking services.

The team works across a broad technology landscape spanning networking, compute infrastructure, operational management and automation. With a strong focus on improving resilience, security and operational excellence, the team is driving significant infrastructure uplift work while continuing to support a large and complex environment.


About the Role


As an Infrastructure Systems Specialist, you'll help maintain, improve and modernise ASB's Data Centre Infrastructure. You'll be involved in everything from patching, upgrades and operational support through to identifying opportunities for automation and continuous improvement.

This role combines day-to-day engineering with longer-term uplift initiatives. You'll work closely with experienced engineers to improve platform stability, reduce risk, increase operational efficiency and help ensure critical infrastructure remains secure, reliable and fit for the future.

Key Responsibilities

This role is for an Infrastructure Systems Engineer who can bolster our highly skilled  engineering team and help move ASB’s critical infrastructure environment from a manually intensive operational model to an automated, standardised and engineering-led model.


The focus is on improving resilience, reducing repeatable manual effort, strengthening lifecycle and vulnerability management, and using automation to create more consistent, reliable and scalable ways of managing enterprise platforms.


Essential Skills:


  • Experience with Cisco UCS
  • Understanding of infrastructure operations, monitoring and support practices
  • Experience with incident, problem and change management processes
  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills
  • Ability to work effectively across operational support and project-based engineering activities
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills


Desirable Skills:


  • Strong knowledge of Cisco networking technologies
  • Experience supporting F5 environments or comparable load balancing technologies
  • Experience supporting enterprise network infrastructure environments
  • Experience with virtualised infrastructure ie VMWare
  • Experience with Infoblox
  • Exposure to infrastructure automation and configuration management tooling
  • Experience with Ansible, Terraform or similar automation technologies
  • Exposure to cloud networking concepts and modern infrastructure platforms
  • Understanding of infrastructure security, resilience and vulnerability management practices
