Qualifications

• 3+ years in a DevOps, SRE, Platform, or infrastructure-focused engineering role.
• Solid hands-on experience with AWS.
• Practical experience running Kubernetes in production, ideally EKS.
• Experience building and deploying serverless functions with AWS Lambda.
• Good working knowledge of AWS networking — VPCs, subnets, security groups, routing, and load balancing.
• Experience operating relational databases on RDS and/or Aurora.
• Experience managing secrets with AWS Secrets Manager (or equivalent).
• Proficiency with Docker and containerised workflows.
• Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Terragrunt.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions.

• Good understanding of Linux systems administration and networking fundamentals.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling.
• Comfortable working with Git and modern version control workflows.
• A genuine commitment to good documentation — able to write clear, concise runbooks and technical docs that others can follow.
• Willingness to take part in an on-call rotation and contribute to a maturing support function.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments.
• Manage and evolve AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform & Terragrunt).
• Operate and scale containerised workloads on EKS, alongside serverless workloads on Lambda.
• Design, secure, and maintain AWS networking — VPCs, subnets, security groups, routing, and load balancing.
• Manage relational databases on RDS and Aurora, including performance, backups, and resilience.
• Handle secrets and sensitive configuration securely using AWS Secrets Manager.
• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure system health and rapid incident response (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK, Datadog).
• Collaborate with development teams to improve deployment practices, environment consistency, and developer experience.
• Contribute to security and compliance efforts — secrets management, patching, access control, and secure-by-default configurations.
• Take part in our support and on-call arrangements and help shape them as they mature.
• Automate manual and repetitive operational tasks through scripting and tooling.
• Produce and maintain clear, accurate documentation — architecture diagrams, runbooks, onboarding guides, and operational procedures — and champion a culture where knowledge is written down and shared rather than siloed.
