• Partner with security, engineering, and product teams to ensure infrastructure meets compliance, governance, and operational standards.
• Drive cloud cost optimisation and resource planning as the business scales globally.

• Be a key voice in architectural decisions, tech strategy, and vendor selection.

Requirements

• Deep expertise with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudFormation/CDK, etc).
• Strong understanding of DevOps, SRE, and Infrastructure-as-Code principles.
• Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD) and observability stacks (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana).
