Role Context
This is a delivery-focused Cloud Native DevOps Engineer opportunity within a large-scale cloud and custom applications environment supporting highly secure, mission-critical systems. The role sits in a senior engineering delivery context rather than pure support, with responsibility for building resilient AWS infrastructure, improving automation maturity, and enabling secure software delivery at scale.
The successful hire will work across complex environments where availability, security, compliance, and scalability are all core design considerations. The brief will suit someone comfortable operating across infrastructure engineering, platform automation, CI/CD, container platforms, and observability, while working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders in Agile delivery settings.
Employer Overview
The employer is a major global technology and transformation organisation with significant scale, deep engineering capability, and an established presence across complex enterprise and public sector programmes. The wider environment offers access to large client estates, long-term transformation work, and structured professional development within a mature delivery organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and manage secure AWS environments with a strong focus on automation, scalability, and resilience
- Develop and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and/or CloudFormation across complex delivery environments
- Implement and optimise CI/CD pipelines to support secure, reliable, continuous delivery for critical applications
- Monitor system health, performance, and security using modern observability and logging tooling
- Work in Agile delivery teams, engaging stakeholders to translate requirements into iterative platform and infrastructure improvements
Candidate Profile / Technical Skillset
- Proven experience delivering AWS cloud infrastructure engineering in secure or highly regulated environments
- Strong hands-on infrastructure as code capability using Terraform, CloudFormation, or closely related tooling
- Practical experience building CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or ArgoCD
- Strong container and orchestration knowledge across Docker and Kubernetes, supported by scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
- Good understanding of cloud networking, monitoring, logging, and security models including Zero Trust principles
Benefits Summary
The package supports hybrid working, ongoing learning and certification, and access to large-scale programmes with strong technical breadth. This is a strong platform for someone looking to deepen cloud engineering capability in complex, security-led environments.
