• Support cloud operations across AWS and cloud environments, including infrastructure configuration, environment management, operational monitoring, and production support.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts, reusable pipeline templates, operational runbooks, and deployment standards to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, including vulnerability scanning, dependency checks, secrets management, code quality validation, and compliance checks.
• Monitor application, infrastructure, and pipeline health through enterprise monitoring tools, dashboards, alerts, and log analysis.
• Support release management activities and coordinate deployment planning with development, infrastructure, security, and operations teams.
• Conduct root cause analysis for deployment, pipeline, application, infrastructure, and cloud-related incidents, and drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Execute configuration and infrastructure changes through established change management processes with proper documentation and risk controls.
• Maintain access controls and conduct regular access reviews across DevOps platforms, repositories, cloud environments, and deployment tools.
• Support vulnerability management, audit requests, security compliance reviews, and remediation tracking in accordance with applicable requirements.

What We Are Looking For

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a relevant IT field with 3+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, platform engineering, systems engineering, or cloud operations.
• Hands-on experience designing, managing, and troubleshooting GitLab CI/CD pipelines in enterprise environments.
• Experience with DevSecOps delivery platforms, including secure pipeline configuration and release governance.
• Experience with monitoring tools, log analytics platforms, alerting frameworks, and incident investigation techniques.
• Strong working knowledge of AWS cloud services and experience supporting cloud-hosted workloads.
• Strong knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and provide technical guidance to project and operations teams.
• Strong communication and documentation skills for engaging both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Prior experience working on large-scale regulated projects, including familiarity with enterprise development standards, tools, and compliance requirements, will be a strong advantage.
• Knowledge of zero-trust architectures and secure cloud landing zones.
• Exposure to data platforms, analytics workloads, or AI/ML pipelines.
• Relevant certifications (e.g. AWS/Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform).
• Experience with cloud security frameworks, automated testing frameworks and quality assurance processes.
• Strong analytical thinking and systematic problem-solving approach.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Detail-oriented focus on system reliability, security, and performance optimisation.
• Collaborative mindset for working effectively with development and operations teams.
