DevOps Engineer

Role Overview

This role sits on one of the largest database estates in the world, supporting one of our biggest clients - the kind of scale most infrastructure engineers never get direct access to. Changes made here dont touch one system, they touch a fleet, so the impact of good (and bad) engineering is outsized.

What you will be doing

• Support Troubleshooting: Act as the escalation point when clients or internal teams break their Terraform, break their pipeline, or dont follow documented process - diagnose the actual problem and get them unblocked.
• Write clear Root Cause Analysis (RCA) reports for significant incidents.
• Infrastructure Automation: Build and maintain Terraform for provisioning AWS database infrastructure (RDS/Aurora), and the GitLab/Harness pipelines that deploy it.
• Maintain the supporting tooling that manages database users and schemas, ensuring it stays correctly integrated with the databases it manages.
• Automate recurring operational work with Python or Go.
• Apply AWS security best practices - IAM roles, KMS encryption, Security Groups, Network ACLs - across managed environments.

Enablement Tooling

• Build and improve the incident-response tooling so support queries get automatically routed to the right place, rather than landing on the person who is on call.
• Own and improve documentation - runbooks, operational guides, disaster recovery procedures - so people stop making the same mistakes.

What we need from you

• Experience with AWS and Terraform in a production environment
• Provisioning AWS infrastructure through a CI/CD pipeline (GitLab, Github, Harness, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with RDS/Aurora operations - backup/restore, replication, disaster recovery - at the infrastructure level
• Solid understanding of AWS security and compliance controls.
• Experience automating operational tasks with Python or Go.
• Proficiency in AWS networking (VPC, Subnets, Transit Gateways).
• Comfortable being the person people come to when infrastructure or a pipeline is broken - clear communication under pressure, no hand-holding needed to trace a symptom to its root cause.
• Nice to have: Docker, Vault, ProxySQL, and general relational database familiarity (MySQL or similar).
