Cloud Platform Engineer (AWS)

We are in the middle of a real infrastructure transformation.

We are moving away from a operations-heavy setup toward a modern platform model where development teams own their services - and infrastructure becomes repeatable, automated, and predictable.

This is not just a “keep the lights on” DevOps role.

You will have real ownership over architectural decisions and platform standards.

What your day looks like:

You’ll work in a small, experienced engineering setup with daily standups and close collaboration with product and development teams.

Your work will include:

• Designing and evolving AWS infrastructure (ECS, RDS, VPC, S3, WAF, CloudFront, Cognito, API Gateway, etc.)

• Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using Terraform / Terragrunt

• Designing and improving GitLab CI/CD pipelines

• Improving observability (CloudWatch, Datadog)

• Acting as infrastructure partner for development teams

• Proposing architectural improvements aligned with compliance and business needs

Currently, part of the team operates in maintainer mode - but the goal is clear: automate and reduce repetitive operational work.

Tech stack:

• AWS (ECS, RDS, CloudFront, WAF, VPC, S3, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, AWS Backup, ElastiCache, Route53, Cognito, API Gateway)

• Terraform / Terragrunt

• GitLab CI/CD

• Datadog

Who are we looking for? 🕵️‍♀️

• Strong hands-on AWS experience (multiple services, real production exposure)

• Solid Terraform experience (Terragrunt is a plus)

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• At least 5 years in Infrastructure / DevOps / SRE roles

• High ownership, strong communication, transparency

  
  

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in regulated environments (e.g., PCI-DSS)

• Exposure to platform engineering concepts

• Experience with Datadog, Snowflake, Kafka

• Ability to write production-level code in at least one language

You will do well if you:

• Communicate openly and early when something blocks you

• Take initiative instead of waiting for instructions

• Care about long-term maintainability over quick fixes

• Can operate in multiple contexts and prioritize wisely

Why this role is interesting?

• You will shape platform standards from the ground up.

• You will work in a regulated AWS environment (PCI-DSS) — rare and technically demanding.

• You’ll influence architecture, not just execute tickets.

• You’ll help transition the organization toward a modern platform model.

• You’ll have room to experiment - within safe compliance boundaries.

This is a role for someone who wants to build systems that make other engineers faster.
