Job description

Role: AWS DevOps Engineer

Location: Manchester City Centre

Working Model: Hybrid working policy of 3-4 days in the office

Salary: £60-80k

You've been one of, if not the, first DevOps Engineer in a small company- setting up the tech, infrastructure, and systems that are needed to get them up and running. It was daunting going from a single server to multiple, moving them to the cloud, thinking about scalability, security, resilience, failovers, etc etc. but you did it and you know what it takes to do it well.

Now that that challenge is completed, you're looking for the next small company to replicate your success with.

If this describes you, then read on, this is what you've been waiting for!

Working with a small SaaS company in the heart of Manchester city centre, I am looking for someone to join them as their first AWS DevOps Engineer to take them to their next level of growth, and they can only do that if they've got the infrastructure to do it!

They want to go from a very small, single server setup- just one EC2 instance on AWS, to a multi-server environment with AWS and serverless tech powering them. You'll really know your way around AWS and a lot of their services, and you'll be given lots of autonomy to build out their event-driven architecture using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SNS, etc.

You will have the freedom to improve their systems, automate everything you can get your hands on- especially tedious manual processes- using PowerShell, and make sure their APIs, background services, and databases are running smoothly. You'll set up Ci/CD pipelines for the C# .Net developers in the team, to automate their deployments.

You'll have experience with DevOps tools, including Terraform for IaC, Docker for containerisation, Kubernetes (k8s) for orchestration, monitoring tools like DataDog, etc. understanding what it takes to make sure their systems, application, etc are secure, scalable, resilient, and with plenty of redundancy baked in, you'll lean on your networking, traditional infrastructure, and development knowledge to deliver a robust, well-documented technical estate that will be the foundations of the company for years to come.
