  • Define and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Immutable Infrastructure standards
  • Lead and contribute to design reviews, architectural discussions and code reviews
  • Establish strong security practices, ensuring systems and data are protected by design
  • Mentor and support engineers, fostering collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement
  • Stay ahead of emerging DevOps and cloud technologies, introducing improvements where valuable
What We’re Looking For
  • Significant experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering roles within cloud-native environments
  • Strong software engineering background, preferably with hands-on development experience
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
  • A pragmatic, collaborative approach with excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • A platform-engineering mindset, with deep understanding of trade-offs and designing for failure
  • Strong, hands-on AWS experience, including: Lambda, DynamoDB, AWS SAM
  • Solid networking and security knowledge, including VPCs, security groups and VPNs
Technologies You’ll Work With
  • AWS Cloud Services & AWS Developer Tools
  • JavaScript / TypeScript & Node.js
  • SQL
  • Git
  • Docker & ECS
  • Serverless Framework
  • Developer security platforms

This is a senior-level opportunity to shape platforms, influence engineering standards, and play a central role in delivering high-quality, cloud-native solutions at scale.

If you’re ready to lead, influence, and build the future of DevOps, we’d love to hear from you.
