What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be a self-sufficient DevOps professional with deep AWS expertise, strong GitLab CI experience, and the confidence to act as the primary DevOps engineer within the team.

## Description

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to join a public sector-focused organisation supporting critical digital services. This role is ideal for someone who can operate independently, take ownership of cloud infrastructure, and work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders in a mature delivery environment.

As the sole DevOps specialist within the team, you will play a key role in maintaining, improving, and supporting a well-established AWS-based platform. The successful candidate will be comfortable working within existing frameworks, processes, and tooling while driving operational excellence and platform reliability.
Key Responsibilities

 * Manage and optimise AWS cloud infrastructure and services.

 * Implement Infrastructure as Code and automation best practices.
 * Monitor system performance, security, reliability, and availability.
 * Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and deployment issues.
 * Collaborate with delivery teams and communicate technical solutions to a range of stakeholders.
 * Take ownership of DevOps operations and provide expert guidance across the platform.
