- Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using CloudFormation, Bash, and related DevOps tooling.
- Manage and optimise AWS infrastructure for cost efficiency, high performance, and scalability.
- Deploy, secure, and maintain containerised applications using Docker and best practices for isolation and permissions.
- Implement and tune monitoring, alerting, and logging systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to ensure visibility and reduce alert noise.
- Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and autoscaling across microservices and cloud components.
- Build and optimise cloud networking and connectivity infrastructure, including VPCs, load balancers, VPNs, and streaming systems.
- Harden and maintain database clusters and cloud resources with strong security and compliance standards.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues related to performance, scaling, connectivity, and service reliability.
Qualifications / Experience / Skills
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience.

- Monitoring and logging experience (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Datadog etc).
- Solid understanding of security best practices, encryption, identity, access management, zero-trust principles.
- Experience with streaming or real-time data systems (ideally familiarity with video streams, device telemetry, push notifications) is a plus.
- Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment.
- Good communication skills – able to work across teams (backend, frontend/mobile, device/hardware) and influence operational excellence.
