Role
Who you are
- This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable making strong architectural decisions, reducing variability across teams, and balancing flexibility with standardisation in a fast-moving environment
- Strong experience operating AWS-based platforms in production
- Proven experience with Terraform, including module design and CI/CD integration
- Hands-on experience with container platforms (ECS preferred; EKS acceptable if adaptable)
- Experience operating API gateways (Kong or equivalent)
- Solid understanding of cloud networking and service discovery patterns
- Experience supporting multiple teams or projects on a shared platform
- Strong troubleshooting and production operations experience
- Practical experience running or supporting AI/ML workloads in production, such as:

- Or managed AI services on AWS
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior SRE / DevOps practitioner to design, standardise, and operate cloud platforms that support multiple AI-driven products and services
- This role focuses on building opinionated, reusable infrastructure patterns that enable teams to rapidly deliver AI workloads while maintaining high standards for reliability, security, and cost control
- You will develop platform architecture across multiple concurrent projects, ensuring consistency in how services are deployed, integrated, and operated
- This includes shaping how workloads are built, deployed, and monitored, as well as defining clear patterns for service communication, API exposure, and infrastructure provisioning
- Platform Architecture & Standardisation
- Define and implement opinionated architecture patterns for cloud-native and AI-enabled services on AWS
- Establish reusable blueprints for these same services
- Drive consistency across multiple projects through shared modules, templates, and platform tooling
- Infrastructure as Code & Automation
- Build and maintain Terraform-based infrastructure, using modular and reusable design
- Define CI/CD patterns for:
- Infrastructure deployment
- Application and model delivery
- Enforce best practices through pipelines and automation rather than documentation
- Reliability, Observability & Operations
- Embed SRE principles across all services:
- Monitoring, logging, tracing

- Continuously improve reliability, performance, and cost efficiency
- Operate API gateway/data plane technologies (e.g. Kong)
