You’ll own cloud environments from design through production operation, automate provisioning, improve reliability, observability and platform security, and support engineers with self-serve platform components.

Qualifications

• Strong professional experience in cloud, platform, DevOps or infrastructure engineering.
• Deep hands-on production experience with AWS.
• Strong experience designing and operating Kubernetes, ideally Amazon EKS.
• Strong commercial experience with Terraform.
• Experience designing or significantly evolving production cloud infrastructure rather than only maintaining existing environments.
• Strong understanding of AWS networking, IAM, security and highly-available architectures.
• Experience with Docker and containerised workloads.
• Hands-on experience with GitOps, ideally ArgoCD or FluxCD.
• Strong CI/CD experience.
• Experience with production observability using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch or OpenTelemetry.
• Experience troubleshooting production infrastructure and distributed systems.
• Good Linux and networking knowledge.
• Automation or scripting experience with Python, Bash or Go.
• Understanding of cloud security and least-privilege principles.
• Ability to work independently and take technical ownership of complex infrastructure.
• Professional working proficiency in English (C1+)

Responsibilities

• Design, build and evolve production infrastructure on AWS.
• Architect and operate Kubernetes/EKS platforms supporting production workloads.
• Build reusable infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code principles.
• Develop scalable cloud foundations including networking, IAM, compute, storage and managed AWS services.
• Build and improve GitOps delivery workflows using tools such as ArgoCD or FluxCD.
• Design and maintain CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar tooling.
• Create reusable platform components, modules and automation that enable engineering teams to self-serve.
• Improve platform reliability, scalability, security and performance.
• Implement observability across infrastructure and workloads using metrics, logs, traces and alerting.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking and applications.
• Contribute to incident response, root-cause analysis, disaster recovery and production readiness.
• Identify opportunities for cloud cost optimisation and more efficient resource utilisation.
• Work directly with software engineers, architects and technical stakeholders on infrastructure and platform decisions.
• Contribute to architecture decisions rather than simply implementing predefined infrastructure tickets.
• Use Python, Bash or another scripting language to automate operational and platform workflows.
• Help establish engineering standards and best practices across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code.
