Job description

  • Remote First with quarterly visits to an office in Portsmouth
  • Adhoc travel to data centre on Portsmouth area

We're partnering with a fast-growing, tech-driven SaaS business with a high-demand, scaling infrastructure estate.

They're investing heavily in modern cloud, automation, and AI-driven technologies, so if you want to work in an environment that's evolving quickly and staying ahead of the curve, this is it.

This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. It's a chance to shape and scale a modern hybrid cloud platform. The Opportunity

As an AWS Infrastructure Engineer, you'll play a key role in evolving a complex hybrid environment across AWS and on-prem infrastructure.

You'll work closely with engineering teams to:

  • Improve reliability and performance
  • Drive DevOps and automation best practices
  • Help modernise and scale a growing platform

This is a senior, hands-on role with real influence - not just execution, but direction. What You'll Be Doing

  • Own and evolve a hybrid AWS + on-prem infrastructure estate
  • Improve performance, scalability, security, and cost efficiency
  • Drive automation and DevOps maturity
  • Support both internal systems and customer-facing platforms
  • Troubleshoot complex issues and ensure high availability
  • Continuously improve systems, processes, and documentation

Requirements

  • Strong experience designing and supporting AWS infrastructure
  • Solid understanding of hybrid cloud environments (AWS + on-prem / Microsoft stack)
  • Good networking knowledge (load balancing, firewalls, switching)
  • Experience working in Agile / DevOps engineering environments
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset

Tech You'll Work With

You don't need everything, but strong experience in at least a couple of:

  • Docker (ECS)
  • Terraform, Ansible, or CDK
  • AWS (EC2, VPC, Transit Gateway)
  • Cloudflare
  • Windows Server / IIS
  • Linux
