The Role
This is a hands-on engineering position for someone who enjoys building, automating and troubleshooting AWS environments rather than simply providing technical oversight.

- Automate deployments and infrastructure using Python, Bash or PowerShell
- Implement AWS networking, IAM, security, monitoring and logging
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and production issues through to resolution
- Support cloud migration and ongoing platform optimisation
- Contribute to technical design, documentation and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
- Strong hands-on AWS DevOps experience
- Advanced Terraform and/or CloudFormation skills
- Strong CI/CD and automation experience
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes/ECS/EKS
- Good understanding of AWS networking, security and IAM
- Strong Linux and Scripting experience
- Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving ability
- Someone proactive who can work independently and take end-to-end ownership
AWS certifications, hybrid-cloud experience and exposure to Azure/GCP are desirable but not essential.
