What you’ll be doing:

  • Architect, build, and deploy scalable AWS-based platforms and services

  • Use infrastructure-as-code (e.g., CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation) to manage environments
  • Partner with product and platform teams to embed cloud-native practices into delivery pipelines
  • Continuously improve performance, reliability, and observability across cloud systems
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence
  • Stay across emerging tech and bring innovative thinking to platform development

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong experience as a software or cloud engineer, ideally using Python or TypeScript
  • Expertise in designing and deploying solutions on AWS
  • Solid understanding of modern DevOps practices and CI/CD tooling
  • Experience with containerisation (e.g., Docker, ECS, Kubernetes) is highly regarded
  • Knowledge of cloud networking, distributed systems and automation best practices
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Why join us?

  • Work on large-scale, meaningful projects with tangible impact
  • Be part of a modern, forward-thinking cloud engineering team
  • Flexible working arrangements and a supportive culture
  • Access to the latest tools and technologies to do your best work
