• Support containerised workloads and participate in on-call rotation for production systems
• Partner with developers and traders to align infrastructure with system-level performance goals

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure roles
• Strong Linux fundamentals (system internals, performance tuning, troubleshooting)
• Deep AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM)
• Excellent networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, latency optimisation)
• Proficiency with Terraform and Python for automation
• Experience with Docker and configuration management tools (Ansible preferred)
• Proven ability to maintain high-availability, mission-critical environments
