Location:  Southwest based head office (Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Bournemouth area), with hybrid working in place. Salary: £70,000 basic plus an extensive benefits package. We'd need regular office visits, so your likely to be South West based, but can be flexible for the right person.

• Proven experience deploying environments with Terraform 
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration such as ECS 
• Familiarity with data transformation strategies, high-volume data streams, and solid Git and CI/CD practices (desirable)

Why you'll love this job

• Genuine end-to-end ownership, from writing the code to designing the infrastructure it runs on
• The flexibility to work remotely or hybrid, with just occasional visits to a collaborative Southwest UK-based team
• The chance to work with the latest AWS technologies on complex, large-scale data challenges, where you can see your work...err, work, in the real world!

If you want to solve complex problems and desire genuine ownership over both the code and the cloud it runs on (not to mention, joining an excellent team) we'd love to hear from you! Apply today to find out more.
