We are looking for an experienced Principal DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to lead infrastructure reliability, cloud platform engineering, automation, and performance optimisation across large-scale production systems. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in AWS, distributed systems, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, and Linux environments.

This role requires a strong engineering mindset, with a focus on building resilient, scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure. You will drive improvements in system reliability, deployment automation, observability, and operational excellence while supporting the performance and availability requirements of critical production workloads.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Design, maintain, and optimise scalable, secure, and highly available AWS cloud infrastructure for large-scale production systems.

• Drive capacity planning, infrastructure performance tuning, resource optimisation, and cloud cost management.

• Manage and optimise AWS services, including ECS, EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, Kinesis, WAF, Systems Manager (SSM), and Secrets Manager.

• Improve production reliability, availability, resilience, and recovery capabilities across distributed systems.

• Enhance observability through monitoring, centralised logging, distributed tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards.

• Strengthen incident management, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and preventive measures for recurring production issues.

• Design and implement infrastructure automation using Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or similar Infrastructure as Code tools.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and related automation technologies.

• Implement GitOps practices and improve deployment workflows to enable consistent, secure, and repeatable releases.

• Build automation tools and utilities using Go, Python, or Shell scripting to reduce manual operational effort.

• Troubleshoot complex issues involving Linux production environments, networking, system internals, and distributed application architectures.

• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to improve application scalability, infrastructure design, and deployment reliability.

• Establish infrastructure standards, operational best practices, and reusable automation frameworks.

• Drive continuous improvements in cloud security, configuration management, operational efficiency, and engineering productivity.

• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance on DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, and production engineering practices.

• What Makes You a Great Fit

• 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure.

• Strong experience operating large-scale distributed production systems, preferably within established product-based or fintech organisations.

• Deep hands-on expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure and services, including compute, networking, databases, security, and monitoring.

• Strong understanding of Linux production environments, system internals, networking, and troubleshooting.

• Solid knowledge of distributed systems, asynchronous architectures, scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability.

• Proficiency in Go, Python, or Shell scripting for infrastructure automation and operational tooling.

• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or equivalent tools.

• Extensive experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and implementing GitOps practices.

• Strong understanding of monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and production observability.

• Proven ability to drive capacity planning, performance optimisation, cloud cost control, and infrastructure reliability improvements.

• Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills, with the ability to resolve complex production issues.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Ability to take ownership of critical infrastructure initiatives, make sound technical decisions, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.

• A continuous-improvement mindset with a strong focus on automation, reliability, security, and operational excellence.
