This is not simply an operational cloud role. You will be expected to understand the existing environment, identify weaknesses and opportunities for improvement, and actively contribute ideas around cloud architecture, Kubernetes, automation, reliability and security. The role also includes a customer-facing dimension. You should be comfortable discussing technical topics with customers when required, explaining infrastructure decisions clearly and representing the engineering team in technical conversations. The environment is primarily AWS and Kubernetes, with a strong Infrastructure-as-Code and automation focus. Responsibilities + Design, operate and continuously improve production cloud infrastructure, primarily on AWS. + Assess existing cloud environments, identify architectural or operational weaknesses and propose practical improvements. + Work extensively with Kubernetes in production environments, contributing to platform architecture, reliability and scalability. + Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform and other Infrastructure-as-Code practices. + Develop and improve infrastructure automation, including configuration management using tools such as Ansible. + Strengthen platform reliability, resilience, observability and security. + Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational work through automation. + Contribute to cloud and Kubernetes architecture decisions and introduce relevant engineering best practices. + Support troubleshooting, incident investigation and root-cause analysis across production environments. + Develop scripts and internal automation using languages such as Python, Bash, Java or similar where appropriate. + Participate in technical discussions with customers, translating requirements and infrastructure topics into clear technical solutions. + Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure infrastructure and reliability considerations are incorporated throughout the development lifecycle. + Share knowledge, challenge existing approaches constructively and help raise engineering standards across the team. ## Related Videos - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
