## Description

An established, internationally distributed organisation is looking for an AWS Cloud Engineer to support the day-to-day health, security and availability of its multi-region cloud infrastructure. You will join a small technical operations team responsible for more than 125 cloud servers and several business-critical platforms.

The role will focus on hands-on infrastructure operations across AWS and Ubuntu Linux. Responsibilities will include system monitoring, operating system upgrades, security patching, backup verification, performance management and responding to infrastructure incidents as a second-line escalation point.

This is not a CI/CD-focused DevOps position. The successful candidate will be comfortable investigating and resolving infrastructure problems while using Ansible and Terraform to improve operational efficiency. The role also offers opportunities to develop experience with HashiCorp Vault, Consul, identity management and containerised environments.
