Role And Responsibilities
We are seeking a skilled and forward-thinking engineer to join an Infrastructure team in a DevOps / Platform Engineering role. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building cloud-native infrastructure with a focus on automation, scalability, and security, alongside deep experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). You will play a key role in designing and evolving a modern AWS-based platform, improving deployment patterns, automating environment provisioning, and ensuring systems are reliable, repeatable, and resilient.
- Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS services such as EC2, EKS, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, and CloudFront
- Drive the development and adoption of Kubernetes (EKS) for managing both production and internal workloads
- Architect and implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) pipelines, integrating tools such as Terraform into CI/CD workflows for provisioning, validation, and testing
- Implement and improve zero-downtime deployment strategies (e.g. blue/green, rolling, canary), including automated rollback and recovery
- Continuously enhance platform resilience by removing single points of failure and improving autoscaling and high availability
- Collaborate with SRE, Security, and Engineering teams to strengthen observability, monitoring, and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch
- Partner with Security to embed best practices across IAM, secrets management, web application firewalls, and posture management
- Optimise infrastructure performance and cloud spend through automation and cost visibility tooling
- Participate in on-call rotations, incident reviews, and ongoing reliability improvements
Job Requirements
- Proven experience designing, automating, and maintaining AWS infrastructure (e.g. EKS, RDS, EC2, CloudFront, VPC, IAM, Security Hub)
- Hands‑on experience building IaC pipelines using Terraform, integrated with CI/CD tools (e.g. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline)
- Strong knowledge of Kubernetes operations on AWS, including scaling, deployment automation, and monitoring
- Solid foundation in Linux systems administration, networking, and cloud security principles
- Experience with observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) and structured alerting practices
- Experience managing databases, including migrations, high availability setups, backups, and disaster recovery strategies
- Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g. Terraform, Python, Bash)
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on improving engineering efficiency through automation and standardisation
