The role will encompass showcasing technical abilities to design, build and maintain scalable, secure and cost-efficient AWS infrastructure to support our internal developer platform and wider cloud engineering initiatives.

• Contribute to the design and delivery of an internal developer platform using AWS, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Datadog and Dynatrace, enabling development teams to deploy AWS serverless components easily and securely.
• Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CDK and Terraform, ensuring repeatable, automated provisioning and deployment.
• Configure and maintain key AWS services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM) to ensure scalability, resilience and cost-efficiency.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions and design sessions with key stakeholders to improve system reliability and performance.
• Support observability, monitoring, and alerting improvements leveraging CloudWatch, Datadog, Dynatrace, PagerDuty and native AWS tools.
• Collaborate across teams to identify and implement opportunities for automation, performance optimisation, and enhanced developer experience.
• Integrate with Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for secure identity management.
• Contribute to clear, reusable documentation for architectures, configurations, and standard operating procedures.
• Stay current with AWS innovations, security practices, and cost-management techniques.

Knowledge and Experience:

• Proven experience delivering solutions in AWS using AWS CDK and Terraform (TypeScript preferred).
• Solid understanding of multi-account AWS environments, IAM security, and networking fundamentals (VPC, routing, private endpoints).
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles, version control (Git), and automation-first approaches.
• Exposure to serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB) and modern deployment practices.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, PagerDuty or CloudWatch.
• Knowledge of software development concepts, branching strategies, and DevOps methodologies.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team and supporting cross functional teams.
