- *Role Overview**
- ----------------
We are seeking engineers with proven hands\-on **DevOps/Cloud/Platform/infrastructure (AWS)** to join an Agile product squad at Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
This is not a support or maintenance\-only role. We are specifically looking for an engineer who **designs, builds, automates and improves systems**, rather than someone who simply follows instructions or executes predefined tasks.
You will collaborate daily with backend (.NET \& Python) engineers, QA and product owners, taking shared ownership of cloud architecture, CI/CD and operational excellence.
- *Key Responsibilities**
- -----------------------
### **AWS Architecture \& Cloud Engineering**
- Design, build and evolve AWS infrastructure across services such as:
o EC2, Auto Scaling Groups, S3, RDS
o OpenSearch, Redshift, Athena
o Kinesis, DataSync
o Security aspect for all the services
o IAM, VPC, CloudWatch
- Improve scalability, reliability, performance, and cost optimization.
- Proactively identify architectural improvements and implement them.
- Take ownership of environment design across dev, staging and production.
### **Infrastructure as Code (IaC)**
- Build and maintain infrastructure using **Terraform**.
- Create reusable, modular infrastructure definitions.
- Eliminate manual provisioning and reduce configuration drift.
- Multi\-environment and security best practices.
### **CI/CD Engineering**
- Design and implement automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Code Build).
- Integrate testing, security scanning, and quality gates into pipelines.
- Implement zero\-downtime deployment strategies where applicable.
- Continuously improve deployment speed, reliability and developer experience.
We expect ownership of pipeline design decisions, not just maintenance of existing jobs.
### **Automation \& Scripting**
- Automate repetitive operational tasks.
- Integrate AWS services programmatically where required.
- Improve observability and monitoring practices.
- Write SOP documents for all alerts
### **Collaboration \& Agile Participation**
- Work closely with developers in sprint cycles.
- Participate in stand\-ups, planning sessions, and design discussions.
- Partner with backend engineers on release strategy and environment improvements.
- Demonstrate shared accountability for system stability and delivery.
This role requires someone who collaborates proactively, not someone who works in isolation.
- *Required Experience**
- ----------------------
- 5\+ years of hands\-on AWS experience in production environments.
- Strong experience with Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines from scratch.
- Demonstrated ability to improve systems (cost, performance, deployment speed, reliability).
- Strong Linux fundamentals.
- *What Success Looks Like in This Role**
- ---------------------------------------
- You identify inefficiencies and automate them.
- You suggest and implement architectural improvements.
- You design pipelines and infrastructure with long\-term sustainability in mind.
- You act as a true engineering partner within the Agile squad.
This position suits an engineer who thinks in terms of **ownership, automation and continuous improvement**, not task execution alone.
