Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer (AWS & Cloud Operations)

Location: Cardiff

Working Pattern: Hybrid (office-based initially, then 3 days onsite / 2 remote)

Salary: £40,000 - £46,000

We're working with a growing SaaS business looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a well-established AWS environment supporting a live customer platform used globally.

This role is focused on maintaining, supporting and improving an existing cloud estate rather than rebuilding it from scratch. The business is looking for someone with strong AWS experience who enjoys working across infrastructure, monitoring, security and platform reliability in a practical, hands-on environment.

You'll work closely with leadership and the wider engineering team, gradually taking greater ownership of the infrastructure function over time.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

• Commercial experience managing AWS environments in production
• Strong understanding of AWS infrastructure and cloud operations (EC2, RDS, Route53 & CloudWatch)
• Experience with infrastructure monitoring and alerting
• Understanding of WAF, security tooling and cyber security best practices
• Experience managing DNS and Cloudflare environments
• Windows Server and/or Linux administration experience
• Experience supporting backups, resilience and disaster recovery processes

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code or automation tooling
• Experience improving observability or monitoring processes
• Understanding of Cyber Essentials or security frameworks
• Experience working in smaller teams with broad infrastructure ownership

What's On Offer

• Hybrid working model
• 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Additional birthday day off
• Company share scheme after 6 months
• Genuine ownership and autonomy within the infrastructure function
• Opportunity to influence and improve a live SaaS platform used at scale
• Supportive, collaborative team environment without excessive bureaucracy

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.
