Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Linux - Manchester

Looking ideally for someone with 3+ experience under the belt, show 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 some huge Cloud / AWS transformation projects.

Experience required:

• Proven experience in building and supporting Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments, with knowledge of and experience of 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 a lot 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 at the moment, while they have some AWS skills in the team, they want to expand their technical bandwidth in the team and bring in somebody with AWS skills. You will be part of transformation projects as well as improving their AWS cloud capabilities, they also want this person to help capture and utilise cloud-native technology.

There will be training opportunities in AWS to gain more certifications
