Job description

Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Linux - Manchester

Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with excellent Linux, Amazon Web Services (AWS) experience, networking, security & scripting experience in Python or Powershell to play an important role in developing AWS-hosted solutions for a global organisation based in central Manchester.

Looking ideally for someone with 3+ years of experience, showing good skills in AWS with both Linux and Windows OS knowledge.

You must have experience in building AWS IT infrastructure environments and utilising native Cloud features and functionality. You will also work closely with the engineering team, as well as the wider support teams. You should be able to perform on your own, debug issues, and understand networking, security groups, and SRE topics.

This is a new role for a company going through significant Cloud / AWS transformation projects.

Experience required:

• Proven experience in building and supporting Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments, with knowledge of and experience using native AWS features.
• Excellent Linux experience.
• Agile experience would be great, as would DevSecOps or DevOps knowledge.
• Experience in server/network administration is desirable.
• Strong working knowledge of scripting languages such as Powershell or Python.
• AWS Certification would be desirable (They can offer to put you on training for these).
• Experience with Cloudformation, CDK or Terraform, Splunk/Cloudwatch would be a bonus.

At the moment, many of their products are managed on their customer's infrastructure. That is changing, so you will be working on migration projects, as they will be hosting the product on their own AWS cloud infrastructure, essentially taking on hosting.

• Technical support around the daily operation, maintenance, and security of production and non-production environments.
• Deploying solutions on the AWS platform and solving problems.
• Advising and supporting the Engineering team as part of a DevSecOps culture to ensure operational excellence.
• Creating and supporting CI/CD pipelines.

The role has come about because, while they have some AWS skills in the team, they want to expand their technical bandwidth and bring in somebody with AWS skills. You will be part of transformation projects as well as improving their AWS cloud capabilities, and they also want this person to help capture and utilise cloud-native technology.

There will be training opportunities in AWS to gain more certifications.

My client is looking to pay a starting salary of up to £68,000 + Benefits. To apply, press apply now, or send your CV to [e-mail].
