You write infrastructure the same way you write application code: tested, reviewed, and version controlled. * Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, particularly GitHub Actions, and a track record of improving deployment reliability and developer velocity. * Deep familiarity with observability tooling and incident response practices. You've been on-call and know what good looks like. * Solid understanding of cloud security principles: IAM, least privilege, secrets management, network security, and compliance requirements in regulated environments. * Experience tracking and optimising cloud costs. You understand the levers and know how to make trade-offs without compromising reliability. * Comfortable working closely with other engineering teams translating infrastructure complexity into clear patterns and guardrails teams can follow confidently. * A clear communicator who can make the case for the platform as a product investment to both technical and non-technical audiences. ## Description * Own the design, implementation, and evolution of Omaze's cloud infrastructure on AWS, Lambda, API Gateway, and surrounding services, written and maintained as code using CDK and / or Terraform. * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions that are fast, reliable, and give engineers confidence to ship frequently and safely. * Drive observability across the platform via instrumentation, alerting, dashboards, and on-call tooling so the team can detect, diagnose, and resolve incidents quickly. * Own security and compliance posture across the infrastructure: IAM, secrets management, network boundaries, and regulatory requirements, identifying risk early and remediating it properly. * Identify and act on cost optimisation opportunities, tracking resource utilisation, rightsizing infrastructure, and making spend visible and understandable across engineering. * Raise the baseline for developer experience by reducing toil, improving deployment workflows, and making the right way to do things the easy way. * Hold a high bar in infrastructure code review by giving feedback that's direct, constructive, and focused on long-term maintainability and security. * Use AI-assisted tooling as a natural part of your workflow and apply the same rigour and judgement to AI-generated infrastructure code as you would to anything hand-written. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [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) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Building Reliable Serverless Applications with AWS CDK and Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/812-building-reliable-serverless-applications-with-aws-cdk-and-testing) - [From Pipelines to Platforms: How DevOps Automation Becomes a Force Multiplier at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1946-from-pipelines-to-platforms-how-devops-automation-becomes-a-force-multiplier-at-scale) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [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) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
