Job Description

Own the platform. Shape the standards. Deliver results that actually matter.

This is your chance to step into a true AWS infrastructure role — where you’ll lead the design, scale, and optimisation of a multi-account AWS environment from the ground up. No DevOps pipelines. No vague responsibilities. Just real infrastructure challenges, and the support to solve them your way.

We’re transforming a large, on-prem enterprise into a cloud-first business — and you’ll be the one driving the AWS platform strategy, backed by leadership and working directly with senior stakeholders.

If you’re the kind of engineer who wants ownership, not tickets — this is for you.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Architecting secure, scalable, and highly available AWS environments across multiple accounts
  • Designing and automating infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation
  • Evaluate and enhance cloud infrastructure to efficiently support 1,000-1,500 users while maintaining optimal performance.
  • Leading infrastructure uplift projects focused on AWS networking, IAM, storage, and compute
  • Implementing strong cloud governance, tagging frameworks, and FinOps best practices
  • Using tools like CloudWatch and Datadog to monitor infrastructure health, capacity, and utilisation
  • Supporting disaster recovery, multi-region design, and high availability strategies
  • Working closely with security, compliance, and architecture teams on platform-wide initiatives
  • Sharing knowledge and mentoring others in AWS infrastructure design and cost optimisation

Tech Stack & Tools

  • Core AWS Services: EC2, RDS, VPC, S3, Lambda, IAM
  • IaC: Terraform or CloudFormation
  • Monitoring & Governance: Datadog, CloudWatch, AWS Config, Budgets, Cost Explorer
  • Security & DR: IAM, SCPs, KMS, backup strategies, multi-account security frameworks

Who 
you are:

  • A specialist in AWS infrastructure with 5+ years of cloud engineering experience
  • Able to design and implement complex, enterprise-grade AWS solutions
  • Experienced in optimising infrastructure for cost, scale, and performance — and can prove it
  • Strong on automation, but only where it drives efficiency, governance, or resilience

Why You Should Apply


  • Be at the forefront of a major cloud transformation from on-prem to AWS.
  • Make measurable impact through performance, resilience, and cost efficiency
  • Opportunity to shape cloud strategy and have full backing to implement changes.

This is more than just a BAU role—it is an opportunity to make a real impact. If you have a passion for problem-solving and a drive to thrive hit the apply button!
