About the Role
As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, build, manage, and support the critical infrastructure services that underpin internal operations and high‑volume, public‑facing digital services. Operating as a core member of a blended agile squad, you will play a pivotal role in enabling agile delivery teams through secure‑by‑design principles, modernising legacy estates, and supporting cloud adoption on AWS.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, build, and operate secure‑by‑design cloud and platform services on AWS, supporting microservices and serverless workloads for high‑volume digital services.
* Enable delivery teams to build and run Java Spring Boot back‑end services and serverless applications, integrated with Ruby on Rails and React front‑ends.
* Support the migration from legacy technologies (including AIX, Oracle, and Natural/Adabas) to strategic, API‑led architectures, ensuring continuity of service while improving resilience and performance.
* Establish and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, infrastructure as code, release orchestration, and automated testing to accelerate delivery while maintaining governance.
* Implement engineering guardrails, least‑privilege identity and access management (IAM), tagging strategies, and observability frameworks to proactively monitor and reduce the mean time to detect and resolve issues.
* Work collaboratively with technical architects to translate architectural designs into operations, ensuring systems are integrated, delivered, and operated as required.
* Troubleshoot and identify problems across different technology capabilities, breaking problems down into component parts to diagnose root causes.
Qualifications
* Extensive experience delivering secure, scalable cloud and platform services within large‑scale government or enterprise environments.
* Practitioner‑level capability in IT Infrastructure, Systems Design, Systems Integration, and Troubleshooting, as defined by the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework.
* Proven expertise in AWS cloud‑native architectures, including compute, storage, networking, and identity management.
* Strong track record in Infrastructure as Code and configuration tools (such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Ansible) and CI/CD automation.
* Demonstrable experience working to the GDS Service Standard, the Technology Code of Practice, and secure‑by‑design principles.
* Experience operating effectively within blended, multi‑supplier agile squads, demonstrating strong collaboration and knowledge‑transfer skills.
* Eligibility for BPSS clearance, with the readiness and eligibility to obtain SC clearance required for production environment access.
* Experience supporting digital transformation programmes that involve legacy modernisation, such as mainframe‑adjacent systems, AIX, Oracle, Natural, and Adabas.
* Relevant industry certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Security+).
* Experience integrating with cross‑government platforms, such as GOV.UK One Login, GOV.UK Wallet, GOV.UK Pay, and GOV.UK Notify.
Technical Stack Context
* Front‑end: Ruby on Rails / React.
* Legacy: Java, AIX, Oracle, Natural and Adabas.

Benefits
* Access to learning and development resources.
* Supportive, inclusive working environment.
