You'll be doing both. This is a meaningful, high-visibility role: by maintaining and evolving business-critical services in scope of PCI-DSS, you will have a direct impact on the success of Trust Payments and will grow your wide-ranging expertise across both established and modern infrastructure practices. Working within a collaborative engineering team, you will: * Maintain business-critical services running in AWS. * Improve business-critical services running in AWS by enhancing their reliability, scalability, security, and by further adopting fully managed cloud-native technologies. * Maintain and enhance an internal Platform that supports the development and deployment of business-critical services. * Maintain full compliance with relevant standards (including PCI DSS Level 1 and GDPR). What We Expect of You, Day To Day: * Contribute to architectural design and discovery work. * Identify issues and enhancements, and propose realistic, achievable solutions. * Improve the maintainability, reliability, performance, and security of our systems. * Resolve operational issues in a timely and communicative manner: identify root causes, provide interim mitigations, and follow up with long-term solutions. * Join an on-call rota (Monday-Sunday; once per month on average). * Maintain awareness of all relevant best practices and apply them consistently. * Participate constructively in code reviews. * Support and mentor junior and mid-level colleagues; provide all team members with appropriate guidance. * Design, build, maintain, and improve the functions of our internal Platform. No job description can cover every situation that may arise. To maintain an effective service, you may be asked to undertake reasonable tasks broadly consistent with those above, as directed by your line manager. ## Related Videos - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - CSS is DOOMed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1838-wearedevelopers-live-css-is-doomed) - [The journey from developer to devops - what i've learnt along the way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/238-the-journey-from-developer-to-devops-what-i-ve-learnt-along-the-way) - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) - [DevSecOps: Security in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/36-devsecops-security-in-devops) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe)
