Architecture and evolution of the AWS-native platform that ingests asset telemetry, runs our dispatch and optimisation workloads, and serves the customer-facing applications. You set the direction, and you build. * Make shipping boring. Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, environments and guardrails good enough that engineers deploy without asking you first. * Reliability where it counts. SLOs, observability and incident practice for systems where minutes of downtime are lost revenue and missed market commitments. * Security and compliance as design constraints. We touch critical energy infrastructure. IAM, secrets, network boundaries and audit trails get designed in, not retrofitted before an audit. * Raise the bar around you. Standards, reviews and mentoring across the tech team - at the Staff end of this role, that's a large part of the job., * Strong judgement about AWS services - Lambda, ECS/EKS, API Gateway, DynamoDB, IAM - including when the right answer is a plain EC2 instance or RDS rather than something clever. * You've run AWS at the account level, not just the resource level - multi-account setups with Control Tower or Organizations, SCPs, centralised logging, and the boring discipline of keeping new accounts consistent with the ones that came before. * Security is part of how you build, not a review gate at the end: least-privilege IAM you actually enforce, findings from Security Hub / GuardDuty / GitHub Advanced Security triaged rather than accumulated, secrets and supply chain handled properly. Bonus if you've worked under a formal regime (ISO 27001, KRITIS or similar). * You write code, not just config. Python or Go to a standard where other engineers want to use your tooling. * Containers and CI/CD in production, including rollbacks and how they fail. * You've run monitoring and alerting that people actually trust (DataDog, Grafana, Prometheus or equivalent) and can tell a useful alert from noise. What would set you apart * Energy, grid, trading, or any domain where being late costs money. * Time-series data at scale. * Fleets of devices you don't physically control - IoT, edge, intermittent connectivity. * Streaming and data platforms (Kafka, Kinesis, Flink). * Working in an audited or regulated environment. ## Related Videos - [30 powerful AWS hacks in just 30 minutes: Boost your developer productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1624-30-powerful-aws-hacks-in-just-30-minutes-boost-your-developer-productivity) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Why segmenting your infrastructure into tiers makes your infrastructure design better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1960-why-segmenting-your-infrastructure-into-tiers-makes-your-infrastructure-design-better) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Terraform for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/3-terraform-for-developers) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fullstack developer salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/197-fullstack-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023)
