Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, cloud engineering, platform engineering, or a similar technical operations role.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services and cloud infrastructure.
• Good understanding of core AWS areas such as EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, load balancing, networking, security groups, and backup/recovery patterns.
• Experience with infrastructure as code, ideally CloudFormation, or similar tooling.
• Experience supporting CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.
• Comfortable working with Linux-based systems, shell scripting, logs, services, permissions, and general server troubleshooting.
• Good understanding of networking fundamentals, including DNS, routing, firewalls, SSL/TLS, VPNs, subnets, and load balancers.
• Awareness of security best practices across cloud infrastructure, access control, secrets management, patching, and auditability.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools, including metrics, logs, alerting, dashboards, and incident investigation.
• Ability to troubleshoot real-world production problems calmly and methodically.
• Comfortable working with developers, understanding application needs, and helping bridge the gap between software delivery and infrastructure operations.
• Good written communication skills, especially around documentation, change notes, incident summaries, and technical recommendations.
• Able to manage your own workload, prioritise sensibly, and raise risks early.
• Experience working with AI-assisted tools in a careful and review-driven way.

Responsibilities:

• Support the day-to-day running, maintenance, and improvement of our AWS infrastructure, working closely with the DevOps Infrastructure Lead.
• Help strengthen our current infrastructure across efficiency, redundancy, security, monitoring, observability, disaster recovery, automation, and operational resilience.
• Maintain and improve cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code practices, ensuring changes are repeatable, reviewable, and properly documented.
• Support, improve, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, environment configuration, and release processes.
• Work with development teams to make sure applications are deployed securely, reliably, and in a way that supports good engineering practice.
• Help monitor production systems, investigate incidents, identify root causes, and implement changes that reduce the chance of the same issue happening again.
• Improve logging, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and operational visibility so that problems can be found early and understood quickly.
• Support backup, restore, and disaster recovery processes, including testing that recovery plans actually work.
• Help manage infrastructure security, including IAM, network access, secrets, patching, vulnerability management, and least-privilege access.
• Work with the DevOps Infrastructure Lead and wider tech team on the design and delivery of our next-generation systems.
• Contribute to technical discussions around architecture, scalability, deployment strategy, security, data flow, and operational design.
