Role: AWS Platform Engineer
Location: Remote, occasional travel to Manchester Office
12 Month FTC
Salary: 60,000 - 70,000 per annum pro rata

About the Role
As an AWS Platform Engineer, you will drive your workstream to completion. On productized engagements, you’ll handle the full delivery from technical design to handover, maintaining accountability to the client. In larger squads, you’ll own your workstream end-to-end, ensuring progress and delivery. Your work will be varied; one month, you might deploy a multi-account landing zone for a SaaS business, and the next, you could be building event-driven data pipelines for an enterprise modernisation programme.

About You
You are an AWS engineer experienced in client-facing consulting. You confidently make technical decisions, deliver production-ready infrastructure, and communicate effectively with clients and colleagues. You apply a systematic approach to debugging and write Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that is readable and modifiable. AI development tooling is integrated into your workflow.

Responsibilities

• Lead your workstream’s technical delivery or full engagement on streamlined deployments.
• Design and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure, including IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized workloads.
• Conduct technical client calls and provide progress updates.
• Write structured IaC using Terraform and/or AWS CDK, reviewed through Pull Requests.
• Use AI development tooling as a standard workflow component.
• Manage incident response within your scope and produce post-incident reviews.
• Support less experienced engineers through PR reviews and knowledge sharing.
• Identify improvements and growth opportunities.

Skills & Experience

• Proficiency in AWS services.
• Experience with Terraform and/or AWS CDK, maintaining clean, modular code.
• Proficiency in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines; skilled in Python or TypeScript.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes and EKS, with experience in containerized workloads.
• Understanding of AWS security, including IAM and network controls.
• Systematic debugging approach across network, compute, IAM, and application layers.
• Effective communication with clients and stakeholders.
• Experience managing workstreams in an agile, client-facing environment.

Qualifications
AWS Solutions Architect Associate, CKAD, or equivalent associate-level certification is required. In the absence of a certification, a Principal-led technical review can substitute. Useful but not essential: experience with AI development tooling, depth in Kubernetes, AWS professional certifications, or exposure to managed service environments.
