We are improving something that already works. The platform is live and doing its job. Our task is to take it from good to really good, so the problems are about pushing things further rather than wiring up the basics. Like everyone here we use AI tools day to day, and we are slowly moving the more repetitive operational work onto automation. We do it carefully, because infrastructure is not somewhere to be careless. Qualifications What you will bring The essentials A solid cloud infrastructure background and good software-engineering habits, usually around 5+ years as a Software, DevOps, Platform, or Site Reliability Engineer. A Computer Science degree or the equivalent in real experience. Hands-on AWS across several regions, with infrastructure as code (Terraform or OpenTofu) and pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitOps / Flux). Our platform runs entirely on AWS. Kubernetes and Amazon EKS on Linux with containers (Docker): running, upgrading, and patching workloads in production. Confidence in Go and/or Python. Clear thinking and good communication, and the organisation to keep several things moving at once, all in English. Nice to have Experience running distributed and streaming systems, especially Apache Kafka (AWS MSK). Running database clusters (Amazon Aurora, ClickHouse, MongoDB and the like): configuration, backup and restore, and day-to-day production operations, including operators for data systems on EKS. Building self-service internal developer platforms, ideally with Crossplane or something similar. Familiarity with search or vector databases (OpenSearch, Elasticsearch) and in-memory or caching stores (Redis, Amazon ElastiCache). Some exposure to disaster recovery and cross-region replication (RPO / RTO). Curious what we build on? Have a look at how Nexthink scales to trillions of events per day with Amazon MSK, powers real-time alerts with Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and builds enterprise AI agents with fine-tuned LLMs on Amazon SageMaker.
