The successful incumbent must possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Software Engineer or similar field with a minimum of 3-5 years’ experience in DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering including ands-on experience with AWS across serverless and containerised workloads (including Docker), e.g. Lambda, ECS, and API Gateway.
DUTIES
Infrastructure & Delivery -

Reliability & Security -
· Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting (e.g. CloudWatch, New Relic), and troubleshooting issues across infrastructure, deployments, and application performance.
· Apply a security-first approach — secure defaults, least privilege, threat-aware thinking — and work with cloud security and scanning tooling (Cloudflare, Aikido) to strengthen the platform’s posture.
· Be available on call during peak or product launch periods when required.
Platform, Collaboration & Ownership -
· Provide day-to-day operations and infrastructure support and build internal tooling and platform capabilities to Support Engineers as the team grows.
· Administer third-party service-provider instances and integrations (e.g. Zoho CRM, Slack, n8n) and endpoint/identity tooling (Microsoft Entra ID, Intune) where they intersect with developer experience and security.
· Take ownership of DevOps and security projects, running them end to end, while guiding Engineers and championing an AI-forward approach to raise productivity and quality.
· Document processes, procedures, and configurations to ensure consistency and repeatability.
