👤 About the Role

In a context of strong growth, we are reinforcing our engineering team and looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to build, scale and secure our cloud-native platform.

🔎 Responsibilities

• Design, deploy and maintain robust cloud infrastructure on AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC…)
• Manage and optimise Kubernetes clusters (EKS) in production, ensuring reliability and security at every layer, while overseeing staging environments with a focus on hosting cost control and monitoring.
• Champion Developer Experience by building reliable, transparent GitLab CI/CD pipelines, allowing our engineers to focus on shipping code rather than debugging the deployment process
• Automate infrastructure with Terraform and promote a rigorous Infrastructure as Code culture across the organisation
• Embed security at every stage (DevSecOps): workload hardening, secrets management, IAM compliance, image and dependency scanning
• Set up and maintain monitoring, logging and alerting solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK / CloudWatch)

Profile

• Strong command of AWS and Kubernetes (EKS), you know what is running in your cluster and why it is there
• A genuine security mindset: you think “least privilege”, “zero trust” and “blast radius” before anyone asks you to
• Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab ideally) and a well-established Infrastructure as Code culture
• Ability to work autonomously, make technical decisions and defend them clearly
• Collaborative mindset, oriented toward continuous improvement and comfortable working hand-in-hand with development teams
