Own 5 AWS accounts across the organisation (QA, Prod, Infra, plus two others) Architect and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform. Replace the click-ops that's still around Stand up CI/CD pipelines engineers actually want to use. Blue/green and canary where it makes sense Run releases reliably and reduce key-person risk on the deploy process Set up monitoring, alerting, and incident response so we catch issues before customers do. Define SLIs and SLOs that map to real user journeys Lead incident response as the primary infra responder. Run blameless post-mortems Patch and harden the platform. We're a fintech, this matters. IAM least privilege, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, MFA enforcement Lead infrastructure work for the TV launch: traffic spikes, autoscaling, capacity planning, runbooks Partner with backend engineers when production issues cross into the app tier. JVM tuning, connection pools, async patterns, memory leaks Architect multi-region DR. Drive the platform toward self-healing Optimise cost across DynamoDB, Lambda, and the wider AWS footprint Set architectural guardrails with tech leads and SWEs. Mentor engineers as the platform capability grows You must have 6+ years hands-on AWS in production (VPC, IAM, EC2/ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route53, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS) Production Terraform (Terragrunt a plus). Multi-environment state management Production Kubernetes and Docker. EKS specifically Strong CI/CD experience: GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, or ArgoCD. GitOps practices Strong infrastructure security: IAM least privilege, secrets, patching, vulnerability scanning, MFA enforcement Observability from scratch: CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or ELK Solid backend competency in Java (Spring Boot), Python, or Node. Understanding of JVM, concurrency, async systems Comfort being the senior infrastructure person. Self-directed, opinionated, disciplined about documentation B2/C1 Level English Nice to have Fintech or other regulated industry experience DynamoDB at scale (we run many tables with PITR and S3 exports, Lambda-driven daily incrementals) AWS cost optimisation track record Past experience as a first infrastructure hire at a small team Building internal developer platforms or self-service tooling AWS DevOps Pro, Solutions Architect Pro, or CKA Service mesh experience (Istio, Linkerd) and DevSecOps practices Firebase or GCP exposure (we have a small footprint there)
