As a Senior & Mid-level Platform Engineer (DevOps), you will deliver key improvements to the security and manageability of a legacy platform, with a focus on AWS IAM for both users and services.

You’ll work as part of a delivery-focused engineering team, implementing AWS IAM enhancements, Terraform-based infrastructure changes, and automation scripts in Node.js or Python, following established design patterns and technical guidelines.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll be responsible for executing a defined technical plan efficiently — ensuring high standards of quality, reliability, and security, while contributing to the evolution of a large-scale cloud platform.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING:

You will become a key engineering team member, contributing significantly within a collaborative, autonomous, and cross-functional environment. Your role will involve assisting with the following:

Deliver AWS IAM improvements and refactoring for users, roles, and services.
Implement infrastructure changes using Terraform, following existing module and pipeline patterns.
Apply least-privilege and secure-by-default principles across all AWS accounts.
Develop and maintain automation scripts and tooling in Node.js or Python.
Collaborate closely with the tech lead and delivery manager to achieve defined milestones.
Test, validate, and deploy IAM and Terraform changes through CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or TeamCity).
Provide clear progress updates, proactively identifying risks and blockers.
Ensure all work aligns with security and platform standards.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Strong experience with AWS, particularly IAM (roles, policies, permissions, service access).
Proven hands-on experience delivering Terraform solutions (modules, pipelines, multi-account setups).
Proficiency in Node.js or Python for automation and integration tasks.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions or TeamCity.
Demonstrated ability to deliver within agile, delivery-focused teams.
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal.

NICE TO HAVE:

Experience with multi-account AWS environments and cross-account IAM roles.
Familiarity with containerization (Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes).
Knowledge of DevSecOps practices and security automation tools (e.g. AWS Config, GuardDuty)
