Job description

🔐 Cyber Security Talent Partner – DevOps Lead

83zero is partnered with an exciting, fast‑growing startup that’s making serious moves in the B2B2C social media space. They’re building a next‑gen Platform‑as‑a‑Service that’s already gaining traction across global media ecosystems — and they’re now looking for a DevOps Lead to join their journey.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll own the technical direction of a serverless, event‑driven, globally distributed platform built on AWS. You’ll lead a distributed engineering team, shape high‑performance APIs, and build systems that scale hard and run clean.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary + performance bonus.
• Meaningful equity — build it, own it, grow with it.
• A seat at the decision table in a fast‑scaling SaaS business.
• Real autonomy, rapid progression, and zero bureaucracy.
• A culture of experimentation, curiosity, and bold thinking.

The Role

• Architect and optimise a high‑scale, cloud‑native PaaS.
• Champion CI/CD, automation, observability, and reliability.
• Design and maintain secure, performant public APIs.
• Build real‑time, distributed systems on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis, ECS/EKS).
• Mentor a cross‑functional team and elevate engineering standards.
• Prototype and ship features that drive commercial impact — including mobile apps and PWAs.

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years in software engineering, with experience in a DevOps or Technical Lead role.
• Needs to have built a front‑end app and a console or dashboard backend.
• Deep expertise in serverless/event‑driven architecture on AWS.
• Mastery of CI/CD, Agile delivery, and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong leadership of distributed engineering teams.
• Experience in social media, advertising, eCommerce, or news.
• Proficiency in Node.js, Go, Python, Java, and modern front‑end frameworks.
• AWS certifications, microservices/service mesh, and streaming tech (Kafka/Kinesis).

If you’re ready to tackle hard problems, enjoy architectural freedom, and want to shape something foundational — let’s talk.
