Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer

Summary

Build and run Ørsted’s shared AWS platform: multi-account networking, IAM, backup, and cost controls that let product teams ship faster in a secure, governed cloud.

Join us in this role where you will be at the heart of Ørsted’s AWS platform engineering capability, designing, building, and operating shared cloud services that support more than 700 AWS accounts across the organisation. Together with your colleagues, you will develop and operate automated platform capabilities that cover the full cloud lifecycle, from networking and account governance to identity, backup, and cost optimisation. Your work will enable product and application teams to move faster while operating in a secure, well‑governed, and cost‑efficient AWS environment. This is a hands‑on, collaborative role, where you work closely with engineers, product teams, and platform colleagues to continuously improve and scale a shared AWS platform.

Welcome to Information Security

You’ll be part of AWS Platform Engineering, where you and your colleagues design and operate a centralised AWS platform that supports product and application teams across the organisation. As a team, we focus on reliability, scalability, and automation, continuously improving our platform capabilities and staying up to date with AWS services and best practices. Together, we create robust, developer‑friendly cloud foundations that enable the business to deliver value securely and efficiently.

You’ll play an important role in:

  • Designing, building and operating AWS platform components using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / CloudFormation)
  • Developing and operating a centralized AWS networking architecture, including VPCs, subnets, routing, Transit Gateway, DNS, and hybrid connectivity
  • Delivering core platform capabilities such as account management (AWS Control Tower & AFT), IAM, Backup, Migration tools, and centralized logging
  • Automating platform and service onboarding using GitHub and CI/CD pipelines
  • Building and operating bespoke AWS Backup solutions and bespoke IAM models
  • Supporting cost‑efficient use of AWS services, applying right‑sizing and platform standards.

To succeed in the role, you:

  • have strong hands‑on AWS expertise, particularly in multi‑account and enterprise environments
  • have experience building and operating cloud platforms, not just individual workloads
  • have solid domain knowledge in AWS networking, including VPC design, routing, Transit Gateway, and hybrid connectivity
  • have experience with AWS Control Tower and account governance at scale is an advantage
  • have food understanding of IAM concepts, including roles, policies, and access patterns
  • have working knowledge of cost optimization and efficient use of AWS services.
