Senior Devops Engineer - AWS Platform

Job description

Senior DevOps Engineer – AWS Platform (Hands‑On)

Manchester | On‑site

Modern AWS | Built from scratch | No legacy

A high‑growth tech organisation in Manchester has built a fully modern AWS platform and is now looking for a hands‑on Senior DevOps Engineer to help operate, improve, and scale what’s already been designed by a very technical Head of DevOps.

This is not an architect or manager role, this is proper platform engineering.

What you’ll be working on

-Day‑to‑day ownership of a multi‑account AWS environment

-Working with ECS, ECR, VPC, Transit Gateway, IAM, Secrets Manager, NLB/ALB

-Supporting a self‑hosted ELK stack on ECS (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats)

-Managing log pipelines, cross‑account shipping & auto‑scaling

-Enhancing a live data workflow:

Aurora → S3 (Parquet) → Snowflake via AWS DMS

-Making the platform more automated, more reliable & more scalable

Who this role suits

-Strong AWS engineer (not a manager, not an architect)

-Loves solving deep technical problems

-Happy owning big chunks of a platform

-Confident with Terraform, Docker & automation

-Comfortable with observability (CloudWatch, ELK, etc.)

-Curious, proactive, and able to take initiative

Why it’s a great opportunity

-Everything is modern — no legacy anywhere

-Platform already built — you focus on making it better

-Work with a highly skilled, hands‑on Head of DevOps

-Massive technical autonomy

-Real impact in a small senior team

If you want to work on real AWS platform engineering — and help scale a multi‑account, containerised, fully observable, data‑driven cloud environment — drop me a message.
