Infrastructure Engineer
Title: Infrastructure Engineer
Location: Penarth (5 days a week for first 3 months)
Salary: £40,000 - £46,000
Summary:
We're hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a well-established AWS and internal IT environment within a growing SaaS tech business.
It's a great opportunity for someone who wants full ownership of infrastructure rather than being a small part of a bigger team.
You'd be managing a stable AWS environment but also the wider IT estate, so you get that mix of cloud and hands-on responsibility. You'll work closely with leadership and gradually take over the full infrastructure function. It suits someone who enjoys improving systems rather than constantly firefighting or rebuilding from scratch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage and optimise AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, Route 53)
- Maintain Linux and Windows environments
- Oversee backups, disaster recovery and system resilience
- Manage DNS, CDN and edge services (Cloudflare)
- Own internal IT systems, hardware and security
- Improve monitoring, automation and operational efficiency
Why apply?
- Full ownership of infrastructure estate
- Direct exposure to leadership
- Clear progression into senior ownership role
What we offer:
- 22 days annual leave plus public holidays.
- Additional day off for your birthday.
- Private medical insurance.
- Salary: £40,000 - £46,000 depending on experience.
- Access to the company profit share scheme following 6 months of service.
