We are looking for a talented and forward-thinking engineer to join the Infrastructure team in a DevOps and platform engineering capacity. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in building cloud-native environments with a focus on automation, scalability, and security, along with strong proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). This role will involve shaping and evolving the company's AWS platform-modernising deployment processes, automating environment creation, and ensuring systems are reliable, consistent, and highly resilient.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS services such as EC2, EKS, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, OpenSearch and CloudFront.
Lead and support the adoption of Kubernetes on EKS for both production and internal workloads.
Architect and implement Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines, integrating Terraform (or similar) into CI/CD workflows for provisioning, validation, and automated testing.
Implement zero-downtime deployment strategies (blue/green, rolling, canary) with automated rollback and recovery.
Drive infrastructure improvements, reducing single points of failure and enhancing autoscaling, high availability, and managed service utilisation.
Collaborate with SRE, Security, and Engineering teams to improve observability, monitoring, and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch.
Work closely with Security to embed best practices for IAM, secrets management, WAF, and governance.
Optimise performance and cloud spend through automation and cost-visibility tooling.
Participate in on-call rotations, incident reviews, and ongoing reliability enhancements.
Requirements
Proven experience designing, automating, and maintaining AWS infrastructure (EKS, RDS, EC2, CloudFront, VPC, IAM, Security Hub).
Hands-on experience building IaC pipelines using Terraform and integrating with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, etc.).
Strong understanding of Kubernetes operations on AWS, including scaling, deployment automation, and monitoring.
Solid background in Linux systems administration, networking, and cloud security.
Familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki, and structured alerting practices.
Experience with database migrations, high-availability configurations, backups, and disaster recovery.
Strong scripting and automation skills (Terraform, Python, Bash, or similar).
Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, with a drive to improve engineering efficiency through automation and standardisation.
