Senior DevOps Engineer



Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced DevOps Engineer with strong AWS expertise to join our client project team.

This role will focus initially on developer enablement and CI/CD pipeline optimisation, and then evolve into broader infrastructure automation and operations as the platform matures.

The ideal candidate will bring hands-on AWS experience, automation-first thinking, and a passion for enabling development teams through reliable, scalable, and observable infrastructure.

What you'll do:

  • Assess the current pipeline and infrastructure setup; recommend and implement improvements aligned with industry best practices.

  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using AWS-native services (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, ECR).

  • Build and manage infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK) and increase IaC maturity across the environment.

  • Automate deployments, provisioning, monitoring, and incident response processes.

  • Enable developer productivity by reducing deployment friction, providing templates, scripts, and self-service tooling.

  • Design, develop, test, and deploy serverless applications (AWS Lambda) and containerised workloads (ECS/Fargate).

  • Improve observability using monitoring and logging tools (CloudWatch, X-Ray, ELK stack).

  • Work with microservices architecture (Aurora Postgres backend, ECS containers, modular reusable services).

  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members.

Your Expertise:

  • Strong practical AWS experience (S3, ECS/Fargate, RDS/Aurora, ECR, IAM, Redis, VPC, Parameter Store/Secrets Manager, WAF).

  • Solid knowledge of containerisation technologies (Docker, ECS; Kubernetes experience beneficial though not in current use).

  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK).

  • Strong scripting in Python, Bash, or similar.

  • Experience designing/building CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure from scratch.

  • Familiarity with Java/Tomcat applications (bonus).

  • Hands-on experience with monitoring/observability (CloudWatch, ELK, X-Ray).

  • Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to stabilise infrastructure under scale.

  • AWS Certification (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or similar).

  • 3–5 years’ experience implementing AWS automation pipelines.

  • Familiarity with Step Functions, certificate automation.

Attributes:

  • Tenacious and results-driven with the ability to build and manage infrastructure from scratch.

  • Data-driven engineering mindset.

  • Strong communicator to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Self-motivated, collaborative, and able to mentor others.
