Build and maintain AWS-based cloud infrastructure, automate deployments with Terraform/Ansible, and run Kubernetes workloads for a high-scale, mission-critical platform.

We're partnering with a high-performance technology company that builds mission-critical, cloud-native platforms used at significant scale. They're looking for a Senior Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer to help evolve their platform, improve automation, and support highly available production systems.

This is a hands-on engineering role with plenty of variety. You'll work across cloud infrastructure, automation, CI/CD, security and platform reliability, collaborating closely with software engineers to build scalable, resilient systems.

What you'll be doing

  • Design, build and maintain scalable AWS infrastructure.
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and configuration management with Ansible.
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
  • Support containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Monitor production systems and continuously improve reliability, performance and observability.
  • Strengthen security through effective secrets management and access controls.
  • Investigate production incidents and contribute to continuous improvement.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to optimise platform architecture and deployment processes.
  • Mentor engineers and help shape infrastructure best practices.

What we're looking for

  • Strong commercial experience with AWS.
  • Excellent Linux systems administration and networking knowledge.
  • Hands-on Terraform experience.
  • Experience with Ansible or similar configuration management tools.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash or similar).
  • Experience supporting production environments and participating in incident response.
  • Comfortable working across multiple areas of infrastructure and platform engineering in a collaborative environment.
  • Join a well-funded, engineering-led technology business solving complex technical challenges.
  • Work on high-scale, high-availability cloud infrastructure.
  • Influence platform architecture and automation from day one.
  • Small, collaborative engineering team where your ideas have real impact.
  • Hybrid working with just one day per week in the London office and remote flexibility.
