We seek an experiencedSenior DevOps Engineerto primarily support a development team in building a cutting-edge contract drafting tool. In this role, you will oversee CI/CD pipelines, releasing code, and AWS cloud infrastructure to ensure smooth, secure, and scalable deployments.

The ideal candidate has deep expertise in AWS and infrastructure-as-code practices and is eager to lead the implementation of DevOps best practices across teams. You will help enforce company standards for cloud hosting, security, and testing in all our processes and the migration to a standardised pipeline system.

Responsibilities:

CI/CD Pipeline Ownership:Maintain and enhance continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines (using GitHub Actions) to enable fast, safe, and consistent delivery of code changes.

Cloud Infrastructure Management:Manage and monitor our AWS cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, networking) to ensure high availability, security, and performance across all environments.

Container Orchestration:Oversee containerisation and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (AWS EKS), optimising resource usage and deployment workflows for scalability.

Infrastructure as Code:Implement and manage infrastructure-as-code configurations with Terraform and AWS CloudFormation to handle multi-environment setups and ensure consistency across deployments.

Security & Compliance:Integrate company security standards and compliance checks into infrastructure and pipeline design – including automated security scans, access controls, and best practices for cloud hosting.

Pipeline Testing:Work closely with development and QA teams to incorporate automated testing (unit, integration, etc.) and quality gates into the CI/CD pipelines, upholding company standards for software testing.

Troubleshooting & Optimisation:Proactively troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure or deployment issues, performing root cause analysis and implementing improvements to prevent recurrence and improve system reliability.

Legacy Pipeline Migration:Lead the initiative to migrate existing legacy build/deployment pipelines to the standardised company pipeline platform, planning and executing the transition with minimal disruption to ongoing development.

Mentorship & Collaboration:Mentor and guide junior DevOps engineers across the organisation, providing technical guidance and training. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Development, QA, Security) to ensure DevOps processes align with project goals and foster a culture of shared responsibility for delivery.

Requirements:

Experience:Strong experience in DevOps, SRE, or related roles managing cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in a production environment.

AWS Expertise:Strong expertise in Amazon Web Services – hands-on experience designing and managing AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, etc.) following best practices for security, scalability, and reliability.

Containerisation:Proven experience with Docker and Kubernetes (deploying and operating production clusters, ideally on AWS EKS).

CI/CD Pipelines:Proficiency in setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions (or similar systems such as Jenkins, GitLab CI). Ability to integrate automated tests and security checks into the pipeline.

Infrastructure as Code:Extensive experience with Terraform and/ or AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure provisioning.

Automation & Scripting:Strong scripting skills (e.g. Bash, Python or other scripting languages) to automate workflows, build tooling, and streamline infrastructure operations.

Cloud Security & Networking:Solid understanding of cloud networking and security (VPC design, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, VPN, IAM policies, encryption best practices) to ensure robust and compliant infrastructure.
