Job Description:

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join and existing team who will be hands-on running and improving our AWS platform, supporting engineering teams, and helping make our systems more secure and reliable. You’ll work primarily with Lambda, Fargate, Aurora, VPC and Security Hub, maintain IaC (Terraform, Serverless), and support CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CodeBuild/CodeDeploy). This is a practical, collaborative role — you’ll be solving day-to-day operational problems while helping plan and deliver longer-term improvements.

Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild/CodeDeploy
Author and update Terraform and Serverless configs
review pull requests for infrastructure changes
Respond to incidents, follow runbooks, participate in root-cause analysis and implement fixes
Work with engineers to onboard services to the platform and provide practical guidance on deployments, observability and cost
Implement security best practices: IAM hygiene, Security Hub findings, secrets management and least-privilege changes
Build and tune monitoring, alerts, logging and tracing to reduce noise and catch real issues early
Automate repetitive tasks (backups, health checks, tidyups) and keep runbooks and docs current

Requirements:

4-8 years working with AWS services, ideally including Lambda, Fargate (or ECS), Aurora (or RDS), VPC and IAM
Hands-on experience with Terraform and/or Serverless Framework for infrastructure as code
Practical experience building CI/CD pipelines - GitHub Actions plus familiarity with CodeBuild/CodeDeploy or equivalents
Good debugging and scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar) and comfort with containers/Docker
Familiarity with monitoring/observability tools (CloudWatch, X-Ray, or comparable) and writing meaningful alerts
Solid understanding of networking basics (subnets, security groups, routing, NAT) and security principles
Experience with incident response, postmortems and maintaining runbooks
Collaborative team player who fits into an existing engineering team
Takes ownership for services they touch
Comfortable learning on the job
Communicates clearly and respectfully
Security- and reliability-minded

Nice to have:

AWS certifications (eg. AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or Solutions Architect)
Experience with cost optimisation and database ops for Aurora
