## About the Role

* Hands-on experience managing and configuring AWS environments - ECS (Fargate), RDS, VPC, S3, API Gateway, Lambda, CloudFront, IAM
 * Hands-on Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform or OpenTofu, including established module patterns, state management, and safe handling of destructive changes
 * Containerisation experience with Docker, including image optimisation and secure runtime configuration
 * Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation, including automated testing and rollback
 * Strong command-line, scripting and programming ability - Linux, Bash, Git, plus Python, TypeScript or JavaScript - for diagnostics and automation
 * Solid grounding in information security best practice, secrets management, system documentation, and operating resilient systems with no single points of failure
 * Commercial experience supporting multiple environments under SLA and support commitments
 * Practical, current experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code or equivalent) as the primary means of producing code, and the judgement to verify their output rather than trust it

## Description

* Asks "how do I make this impossible to get wrong" rather than "how do I fix this instance"
 * Takes proactive initiative on environment health and automation without waiting for direction
 * Gets satisfaction from other people shipping safely at speed, and builds controls that unblock rather than obstruct
 * Uses AI aggressively while assuming its output is wrong until verified, and encodes that assumption into the checks
 * Explains technical issues clearly to non-technical colleagues and, where needed, client contacts
 * Stays analytical during high-severity production incidents
