Senior Data Engineer

Senior Azure Devops Engineer

We are looking for a Junior Cloud Platform Engineer with expertise in AWS and infrastructure automation to work within a growing platform team. This is not a DevOps position — we're seeking individuals with strong software engineering backgrounds, who have experience designing and automating infrastructure using AWS CDK and CloudFormation, and who can contribute to high-quality deployment workflows alongside developers.

You’ll work closely with engineering teams to enable rapid, secure, and scalable cloud delivery, using infrastructure-as-code principles and scripting to streamline and safeguard cloud platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and optimise scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS services and infrastructure-as-code (CDK/CloudFormation).

  • Develop and maintain secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins.

  • Implement secure cloud architectures and support compliance standards through regular audits and governance practices.

  • Collaborate with software engineers to embed infrastructure automation into the development lifecycle.

  • Contribute to cost optimisation, performance monitoring, and best practices across the AWS environment.

    Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven hands-on experience with AWS services and infrastructure management.

  • Strong proficiency with AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) and/or CloudFormation.

  • Solid experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).

  • Scripting ability with Bash and optionally Python for task automation and tooling.

  • Familiarity with Docker and container management (but not necessarily orchestration).

  • Strong understanding of security best practices in cloud environments.

  • Software development background or formal programming training.

  • Experience applying infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles in production environments.

    Desirable (Not Essential)

  • Exposure to Kubernetes or other container orchestration tools.

  • Experience with AWS monitoring and logging tools (e.g., CloudWatch).

  • Familiarity with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK Stack.

  • Understanding of networking concepts or configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet).

  • Awareness of Agile methodologies
