AWS DevOps Engineer - Blackburn/Hybrid We are looking for a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer to join our remote-first team and take full ownership of a modern, automated ecosystem. If you're the type of engineer who lives to 'automate everything,' thrives on building resilient CI/CD pipelines, and views Infrastructure as Code as the only way to scale, this is the challenge you've been looking for. You will be the bridge between code and production, ensuring our environments are scalable, resilient, and invisible to the developers. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design and deploy complex environments using Terraform or CloudFormation (No ClickOps allowed). CI/CD Orchestration: Build and optimize sophisticated pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) to move code from commit to production with zero friction. Kubernetes & Containers: Manage and scale EKS clusters, focusing on high availability, service mesh, and cost optimization. Serverless & Scaling: Architecting solutions utilizing Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB to handle fluctuating global traffic. Security & Observability: Implementing 'Shift Left' security and building deep-visibility dashboards using Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog . What You Bring to the Table We are looking for a DevOps practitioner who lives in the terminal and understands that 'DevOps' is a culture, not just a job title. AWS Mastery: Deep, production-level experience with the AWS ecosystem (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, Route53). Coding/Scripting DNA: Strong proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and custom tooling. Container Expert: Hands-on experience with Docker and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS is a must). The MSP/Consultancy Edge: (Optional but preferred) Experience managing diverse client environments or high-traffic SaaS platforms. Problem Solver: The ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and perform root-cause analysis on production incidents.
