Qualifications

• Deep expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes), CI/CD pipeline design, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
• Cloud architecture evaluation and operation (AWS / GCP / Azure) at organisation scale
• Observability and SRE practices: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and SLO design
• Security and compliance architecture: secrets management, network security, and controls relevant to PCI DSS / PSD2
• Experience designing or evolving the infrastructure layer of an agentic engineering harness
• Database and message-broker operational trade‑off reasoning at scale
• Excellent technical writing — ADRs, RFCs, and design docs for multiple audiences

• University degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain infrastructure architecture across the area: cloud topology, networking, environment strategy, deployment pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code patterns across multiple teams
• Author Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and RFCs for infrastructure and platform decisions, facilitating technical decision-making across teams with documented reasoning and clear trade-off analysis
• Evaluate and decide on fundamental infrastructure trade-offs: cloud service selection, container orchestration, message broker topology, observability stack, and cost optimisation
• Own the evolution of the agentic engineering harness's infrastructure layer — CI/CD integration, agent sandboxing, tool-execution environments, and guardrails; instrument adoption and friction, and drive improvements with data
• Drive org-wide technical change: define golden paths and paved roads for deployment and operations, build the case, and see adoption through across teams without direct authority
• Provide technical input into platform and product strategy; mentor engineers on reliability, security, and operational excellence through design reviews and pairing
