Configure and manage cloud infrastructure components and services.
Utilize orchestration and secret management services to manage the lifecycle of critical applications in production environments.
Utilise PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS offerings to build cost-efficient, scalable, and resilient production applications.

Operational Support

Integrate observability frameworks and tooling to enable efficient operations of customer-facing production systems.
Develop internal tooling to provide scoped access for stakeholders to enable the business to scale.
Implement security best practices, tooling, and frameworks to protect production systems and customer data while satisfying compliance requirements.
Assist in incident response, from initial triage to root cause analysis and remediation implementation.
Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation.

Performance Optimization And Scalability

Identify performance bottlenecks in cloud applications and optimise code, infrastructure, and configurations to improve operational and cost efficiencies.
Design and implement scalable architectures that can handle increasing user loads and data volumes.

Collaboration And Knowledge Sharing

Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product owners, technical sales, customer engagement, and support engineers to ensure successful project delivery.
Share knowledge and best practices with team members and contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes and standards.
Stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in cloud computing and software engineering.

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on cloud-based solutions.
Strong proficiency in at least two cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Strong proficiency in Go, with familiarity with Typescript and/or Rust.
