Responsibilities

• System Ownership & Lifecycle : Own the entire system life cycle for our public cloud‑based infrastructure, including requirements gathering, architecting, vetting, building, and operational management.

• Documentation & Knowledge Transfer : Create accurate and clear technical documentation, develop robust support processes, and manage the knowledge transfer and support ownership hand‑off to peers and other organizational units.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration : Build trust and strong working relationships with senior leaders, operating managers, and professional staff across various teams regarding infrastructure needs and system requirements.

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

• AWS Services : Independently design, deploy, and manage production‑level infrastructure using core AWS services. Should understand and apply best practices for security and cost optimisation within these services.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) : Extensive experience using IaC (preferably Terraform or AWS CDK) to define, provision, and manage cloud resources in a repeatable and scalable manner.
• Own the implementation of IaC modules for new features and contribute to the improvement of existing codebases with extensive experience using GIT‑based tools.
• Containerisation & Serverless : Practical experience deploying and operating containers (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes). Ability to independently develop and deploy operational tools and functions using services such as AWS Lambda and Step Functions.
• DevOps practices and systems integrations : Extensive experience using and building CI / CD pipelines.

Automation & Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

• Configuration Management : Hands‑on expertise with configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef, SaltStack or Ansible, for maintaining fleet consistency and state.
• Monitoring & Observability : Proficiency setting up and customizing monitoring, alerting, and logging to ensure system health and performance.

Nice to have

• Experience in both Linux and Windows systems administration.
• Scripting for Operational Maturity : Solid proficiency in a high‑level language like Python, TypeScript or Go, to build robust automation tools and solve recurrent operational challenges, moving beyond simple one‑off scripts.
• AWS AI / ML Tools : Direct experience provisioning and managing the underlying infrastructure for key AI services, specifically Amazon SageMaker (setting up and optimising environments for notebooks, training jobs, and inference endpoints) and Amazon Bedrock (integrating and managing access to foundation models and related infrastructure components).
