We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference. Our teams work at the forefront of innovation, helping organisations transform and deliver high-quality, scalable solutions that truly matter.
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who can own infrastructure end-to-end — from designing greenfield SaaS environments to supporting on-premise deployments. This role requires deep AWS expertise, working knowledge of Azure, and the maturity to act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for infrastructure-related client engagements. You'll be expected to bring ideas to the table, not wait for a backlog — identifying gaps, proposing solutions, and driving them through to implementation.
Design, build, and maintain infrastructure from the ground up, following cloud-native and scalable architecture principles.
On-premise deployments: Plan, deploy, and support on-premise infrastructure for clients with hybrid or non-cloud requirements.
Cloud platforms: Architect, provision, and manage infrastructure primarily on AWS, with working proficiency across Azure services for cross-cloud or client-specific needs.
Continuously monitor and optimize infrastructure spend — implement cost governance practices (right-sizing, reserved instances/savings plans, auto-scaling policies, resource cleanup, tagging strategies).
Proactively identify infrastructure risks, inefficiencies, and technical debt; Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automated deployment workflows.
Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure high availability and rapid incident response.
Own the security and compliance posture of infrastructure (IAM policies, network security, patching, backup/DR strategies).
Required Skills & Experience
5+ years of hands-on DevOps/Infrastructure engineering experience.
Strong, demonstrable expertise in AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, IAM, Lambda, ECS/EKS,
Working exposure to Microsoft Azure (Azure VMs, VNets, Azure AD, Azure Monitor, ARM/Bicep templates, or similar).
Proven experience setting up greenfield SaaS infrastructure from scratch.
Experience with on-premise infrastructure deployment and management (physical/virtual servers, networking, hybrid connectivity).
Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/ECS).
Solid understanding of CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar).
Strong scripting ability (Bash, Python, or similar) for automation.
Working knowledge of networking, security fundamentals, and cloud compliance frameworks.
Ability to translate technical decisions into business impact (cost, risk, timelines) for non-technical stakeholders.
Good at balancing rapid delivery with long-term maintainability and best practices.
Relevant certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect / DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator/Architect).
Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architecture design.
Exposure to FinOps practices or tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, CloudHealth, etc.).
Prior experience in a client-facing or consulting-style engineering role.
