Senior DevOps Engineer – AWS Platform (Hands‑On)
Manchester | On‑site
Modern AWS | Built from scratch | No legacy
A high‑growth tech organisation in Manchester has built a fully modern AWS platform and is now looking for a hands‑on Senior DevOps Engineer to help operate, improve, and scale what’s already been designed by a very technical Head of DevOps.
This is not an architect or manager role, this is proper platform engineering.
What you’ll be working on
* Day‑to‑day ownership of a multi‑account AWS environment
* Working with ECS, ECR, VPC, Transit Gateway, IAM, Secrets Manager, NLB/ALB
* Supporting a self‑hosted ELK stack on ECS (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats)
* Managing log pipelines, cross‑account shipping & auto‑scaling
* Enhancing a live data workflow: Aurora → S3 (Parquet) → Snowflake via AWS DMS
* Making the platform more automated, more reliable & more scalable
Who this role suits
* Strong AWS engineer (not a manager, not an architect)
* Loves solving deep technical problems
* Happy owning big chunks of a platform
* Confident with Terraform, Docker & automation
* Comfortable with observability (CloudWatch, ELK, etc.)
* Curious, proactive, and able to take initiative
Why it’s a great opportunity
* Everything is modern — no legacy anywhere
* Platform already built — you focus on making it better
* Work with a highly skilled, hands‑on Head of DevOps
* Massive technical autonomy
* Real impact in a small senior team
