About Alinta Energy

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for Australia. You’ll work on challenges that matter, alongside people who are approachable, supportive and invested in your growth, in a business where your contribution is visible from day one.

Big careers start with real experience

Ready to step into a role where you’re working behind the scenes to make software faster, safer and more scalable across an entire organisation? Kick-start your career in software engineering within a team focused on platform engineering, DevOps and engineering excellence.

As a Software Engineering Graduate, you’ll join our Customer Technology Team in a permanent role from day one, working across multiple teams to solve complex technical challenges and improve how software is built and delivered. Rather than focusing on a single product, you’ll gain exposure to the broader technology landscape, building platforms, pipelines and shared services that support other developers.

Over the two-year program, you’ll build capability in cloud engineering, DevOps and system design, with rotations across different areas before returning to your home team long-term.

Your graduate journey begins with an induction week, bringing your cohort together in Melbourne to meet each other, pull on some hi vis to explore our Melbourne sites, and listen in on real customer calls at our contact centre.

Why you’ll love this opportunity

• Work on platform and infrastructure used across the business
• Gain exposure to cloud, DevOps and modern engineering practices
• Structured two-year graduate program with tailored rotations
• Learn from experienced engineers in a specialist team
• Build a broad understanding of systems, architecture and delivery

What you’ll learn and do

• Build and maintain CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines
• Work with cloud infrastructure, primarily in Azure
• Write infrastructure as code to support scalable systems
• Support teams with deployment, integration and technical issues
• Contribute to platform services used across the business

• Enjoy coding and are building a solid foundation in languages like C#, Python or JavaScript
• Show genuine interest in DevOps, CI/CD or cloud technologies
• Can break down problems and apply logical, structured thinking
• Take initiative and are comfortable working independently with guidance
• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with technical teams
