£50,000 - £85,000

Were looking for a hands-on AWS Cloud Engineer to join an engineering team building cloud-native applications and internal platforms.

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys writing clean code, automating infrastructure and building production-grade software on AWS. Youll work across serverless, event-driven architectures, infrastructure as code and CI/CD, taking ownership of your work from design and development through to deployment and monitoring.

What youll be doing

• Design, build and maintain serverless applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SQS and SNS
• Develop clean, maintainable and well-tested TypeScript / Node.js services
• Build RESTful and event-driven APIs across microservices and distributed workloads
• Own features end-to-end, from requirements and design through to testing, deployment and incident response
• Design and manage AWS infrastructure using CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions or similar
• Implement monitoring, alerting and observability across production environments
• Work with AWS IAM, secrets management and security best practices
• Collaborate with product, platform and DevOps teams to deliver scalable engineering solutions
• Contribute to technical design, documentation, runbooks and architectural decisions

What were looking for

Youll ideally have strong hands-on experience with:

• Node.js and/or TypeScript, alongside modern JavaScript
• AWS, particularly Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 and IAM
• Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform
• Automated testing, ideally Jest
• CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions or CircleCI
• REST APIs and event-driven architectures
• Cloud security fundamentals including IAM, least privilege and secrets management
• Agile software engineering and full lifecycle deliver

Nice to have

Experience with any of the following would be a bonus:

• React or another modern frontend framework
• Java, Go, C#, Rust or another strongly typed language
• Internal developer platforms or shared engineering services
• AWS Connect, voice, telephony or contact centre technologies
• Event streaming technologies such as Kinesis, EventBridge, Kafka or SQS/SNS

Why this role?

Youll be joining a team where you can have genuine ownership over the technology you build, working across software engineering, cloud infrastructure and automation rather than being siloed into one area.
