The Role

A leading technology business is looking for AWS Engineers with a strong software engineering background to support a major cloud migration and disaster recovery programme covering approximately 60 critical services.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building and automating AWS solutions through code.

• Support cloud migration and disaster recovery initiatives.
• Work with ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront and AWS security services.
• Develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions.
• Participate in code reviews and apply clean code, testing and SDLC best practices.
• Troubleshoot AWS infrastructure and deployment issues.

• Strong software engineering / development background.
• Production coding experience in C#, Python, Node.js or similar.
• Strong hands-on AWS experience.
• Experience with AWS automation and infrastructure built through code.
• Infrastructure as Code experience, ideally Terraform.
• CI/CD experience.
• Strong understanding of testing, clean code, code reviews and maintainability.

Desirable

• Cloud migration / modernisation experience.
• Disaster recovery / resilience.

Important

This is not a traditional DevOps/SRE or infrastructure administration role. The focus is on engineers who can write, review and troubleshoot production code, alongside strong AWS expertise.
