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 • Participation in on-call duty (24/7 once a week for approx. 5 weeks) 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. Sounds like a fit? Let’s talk! 🚀
