Are you a DevOps expert looking for an opportunity to make a tangible impact on a rapidly scaling platform?

My client is an award-winning Tech for Good organisation with a range of products and services designed to enable a better quality of life for some of the world's most disadvantaged communities.

We're seeking a highly autonomous engineer to join on a fully remote basis. You will take ownership of the infrastructure required to deliver modern application delivery across a rapidly scaling business, driving efficiency, and influencing strategic decisions.

About the Role:
You will take ownership of our AWS infrastructure, helping to optimise performance, reduce costs, and prepare the system for dramatic growth to ensure systems scale reliably, securely, and efficiently while freeing up the developers to focus on product innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, optimisation and management of AWS infrastructure.
• Clean up Legacy cloud resources, eliminating inefficiencies and reducing costs.
• Collaborate with partners to implement AWS FinOps principles, maximising cost efficiency.
• Contribute to infrastructure automation using Terraform and Kubernetes.
• Support security and compliance initiatives, including AWS well-architected reviews.

Your Background:

• Extensive experience in AWS infrastructure management, ideally for high-volume data heavy applications.
• Proven track record with Open-source software systems and databases
• Experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, or equivalent infrastructure-as-code and container orchestration tools.
• Comfortable taking end-to-end ownership of complex projects with minimal supervision.
• Strong business awareness: can balance technical solutions with operational and cost considerations.
• Familiarity with security best practices and scalable cloud architecture.

Who You Are:

• Driven, flexible, and humble. You're comfortable diving into hands-on work and taking ownership.
• Excited by scale and complexity, and motivated to implement long-term, strategic solutions.
• Able to communicate clearly with developers, leadership, and external partners alike.

Why Join Us:

• Fully remote
• Significant scope to shape infrastructure and processes from day one.
• Opportunity to work for a Tech for Good organisation where your work genuinely contributes to making life better in some of the poorer communities on earth
