DevOps Engineer

·Own and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline) for build, test, and deployment across middleware, microservices, and front-end applications.

·Manage and evolve AWS infrastructure supporting the platform, including API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, ECS/EKS, S3, and IAM.

·Own monitoring, logging, and alerting (e.g., CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent) to proactively detect issues before they affect users.

·Manage the containerisation strategy (Docker, Kubernetes) for microservices deployed under the contract.

·Provide infrastructure-level diagnostics, scaling, and rollback support during major incidents, working alongside the Service Manager and L3 Support Engineer as incident commander.

·Implement and maintain infrastructure security best practices - secrets management, network/VPC security, and least-privilege IAM policies.

·Own backup and disaster recovery procedures, and maintain up-to-date infrastructure runbooks.

·Automate recurring operational tasks (deployments, environment provisioning, health checks) to reduce manual toil.

·Participate in the on-call rotation as the primary contact for infrastructure and deployment-related incidents.

·Contribute to release planning from an infrastructure and deployment-readiness perspective.
