Role Overview
We are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure/Engineer with strong expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure, containerised platforms, and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines. The successful candidate will focus on improving system reliability, availability, performance, and scalability while enabling engineering teams to deliver high-quality services efficiently.
This role combines engineering and operational excellence, focusing on automation, observability, scalability, and resilience across cloud-native environments. As a Cloud Engineer, you will drive engineering-led solutions to reduce operational toil, enhance system reliability, and promote DevOps and SRE best practices.
Note: This is a reliability-focused engineering role with on-call responsibilities and involvement in platform modernisation initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and manage highly available and scalable infrastructure on AWS.
- Build, maintain, and optimise DevOps Pipelines (CI/CD) for automated build, test, and deployment processes.
- Implement end-to-end CI/CD workflows, including multi-stage pipelines, approvals, and release strategies.
- Manage and support Windows (IIS, .NET) and Linux-based production systems.
- Deploy, manage, and optimise containerised applications using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS).
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM
- Develop and maintain automation scripts using PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
- Define and monitor SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs to ensure system reliability.
- Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor).
- Lead incident management, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis (RCA) for production issues.
- Drive performance tuning and capacity planning for applications and infrastructure.
- Collaborate with development teams to improve deployment strategies (blue-green, canary releases).
- Ensure security, compliance, and best practices across CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure.
Required Skills & Experience
- 5-7 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering / DevOps / Infrastructure Engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, ELB, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch)
- Deep expertise in Azure DevOps Pipelines (CI/CD), including YAML pipelines and release automation
- Experience designing multi-stage pipelines and deployment strategies
- Expertise in Windows Server administration, including IIS and .NET application support
- Strong experience with Linux system administration
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates)
- Strong scripting skills in PowerShell (mandatory) and Bash/Python
- Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch)
- Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud architecture principles
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments
- Knowledge of Active Directory, Group Policy, and enterprise Windows environments
- Familiarity with Helm, GitOps practices, or service mesh technologies
- Experience with performance testing and tuning
- Relevant certifications (AWS)
- Preferred (not mandatory):
- Nice-to-have:
- Kubernetes
- Advanced SRE practices (SLIs/SLOs, observability)
Key Competencies / Characteristics
- Reliability-driven: Focused on uptime, performance, and system resilience
- Automation-first mindset: Continuously reduces manual effort and operational toil
- Ownership mentality: Takes end-to-end responsibility from design through production
- Strong communicator: Clearly articulates incidents, RCA outcomes, and technical concepts
- Collaborative: Works effectively with platform, security, and application teams
- Mentorship mindset: Actively supports and develops junior team members
- Continuous learner: Keeps up with evolving SRE practices and cloud-native technologies
