DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Requirements
- Who you are
Must have
- Terraform — modules, state, multi-environment and multi-region layout, and specifically import, state mv/rm, targeted applies, and diagnosing drift on infrastructure you did not create.
- AWS depth, not breadth — VPC and networking (peering, NAT, security groups, NACLs), IAM, ECS/Fargate, Aurora MySQL including Serverless v2, ALB/NLB, S3, Secrets Manager and SSM, CloudWatch, Lambda, Batch.
- CloudFormation you can author and deploy, not only read — legacy templates are still load-bearing here and will be for a while.
- CI/CD ownership — GitHub Actions and Jenkins, building and maintaining pipelines rather than consuming them.
- Bash and Python for automation, tooling and operational glue.
- Aurora MySQL operations — sizing and scaling, snapshots, clones and restores, failover, connection and pool behaviour, and reading a slow query. The application's schema is not yours to own.
- Incident discipline — scope by time window, form a hypothesis, prepare a rollback before you touch anything, write up what happened.
- Cost awareness as an engineering skill, not a finance report.
- AI-assisted engineering - Practical experience using coding agents, writing clear guidance for them and building automated checks around their output. Sound engineering judgment and human review of production changes are essential.
- Clear written English and the habit of documenting so someone else can operate it.
Strongly preferred
Multi-region operations (EU + US) and data-residency awareness.
Experience with AWS GovCloud or other regulated cloud environments, including controlled access and operational requirements.
Deploying a product into a customer's own cloud account, and writing the documents their security review consumes.
PR-based infrastructure change and review culture — plan output read as evidence, not as a formality.
SSO/OIDC, CloudFront behaviour and debugging.
Vulnerability patching at image and dependency level (ECR, Trivy, Scout, Dependabot or equivalents).
ISO 27001 / SOC 2 exposure from the engineering side.
Nice to have
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Professional).
- Azure or GCP exposure.
- Java / Spring Boot familiarity, enough to read the application and reason about deployment behaviour.
- WAF and edge security, EKS/Kubernetes, Datadog or Grafana-stack experience are signals of range, not requirements.
How you work
You automate repetitive work and maintain clear operational documentation
You are comfortable improving established systems while keeping them running reliably
You treat infrastructure as code as an ongoing engineering responsibility
You take ownership of operational problems across infrastructure and application behaviour
You balance planned improvements with internal engineering support. Around half of the team’s incoming work involves helping other teams resolve blockers
You document decisions and procedures so others can operate the systems you maintain
Benefits
