  • Designing and improving self-service tools that help developers work more independently and efficiently
  • Collaborating within an agile squad using a Kanban workflow to deliver reliable and scalable solutions
  • Working hands-on with modern technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines to bring innovative ideas to life
  • Collaborate with different stakeholders across the business to understand needs and deliver impactful infrastructure solutions

What you’ll bring to the role:

  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work closely with developers and stakeholders to deliver meaningful infrastructure solutions
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS and tools such as Ansible, Kubernetes, and Jenkins
  • A solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code, with a passion for automation and efficiency
  • Confidence in responding to incidents and maintaining service levels with care and professionalism
  • A proactive approach to learning and problem-solving, with knowledge of agile practices and event-driven architecture
