AWS Cloud Engineer
Salary: Up to £80,000
Working pattern: Fully remote
Contract: Permanent, full-time
Reporting to: Senior DevOps Engineer
Interview process: Two client stages with no technical test
An established, internationally distributed organisation is looking for an AWS Cloud Engineer to support the day-to-day health, security and availability of its multi-region cloud infrastructure. You will join a small technical operations team responsible for more than 125 cloud servers and several business-critical platforms.
The role will focus on hands-on infrastructure operations across AWS and Ubuntu Linux. Responsibilities will include system monitoring, operating system upgrades, security patching, backup verification, performance management and responding to infrastructure incidents as a second-line escalation point.
This is not a CI/CD-focused DevOps position. The successful candidate will be comfortable investigating and resolving infrastructure problems while using Ansible and Terraform to improve operational efficiency. The role also offers opportunities to develop experience with HashiCorp Vault, Consul, identity management and containerised environments.
Key Requirements:
- At least three years' experience in cloud operations, systems administration or infrastructure support.
- Strong hands-on experience administering Ubuntu Linux servers within live AWS environments.
- Experience with system monitoring, OS patching, backup management, incident response and CVE vulnerability remediation.
- Working knowledge of Ansible, Terraform, Bash, Git and monitoring tools such as Datadog or AWS CloudWatch.
