👤 About the Role
In a context of strong growth, we are reinforcing our engineering team and looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to build, scale and secure our cloud-native platform.

🔎 Responsibilities
Design, deploy and maintain robust cloud infrastructure on AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC…)
Manage and optimise Kubernetes clusters (EKS) in production, ensuring reliability and security at every layer, while overseeing staging environments with a focus on hosting cost control and monitoring.
Champion Developer Experience by building reliable, transparent GitLab CI/CD pipelines, allowing our engineers to focus on shipping code rather than debugging the deployment process
Automate infrastructure with Terraform and promote a rigorous Infrastructure as Code culture across the organisation
Embed security at every stage (DevSecOps): workload hardening, secrets management, IAM compliance, image and dependency scanning
Set up and maintain monitoring, logging and alerting solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK / CloudWatch)

Work closely with development teams to raise the collective DevOps maturity of the organisation

7+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud or SRE environments - building better systems, not just surviving on-call rotations

Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab ideally) and a well-established Infrastructure as Code culture
Ability to work autonomously, make technical decisions and defend them clearly
