About this role
Role Overview
- Design and implement AWS cloud infrastructure and deployment patterns for the data platform, including multi-account AWS Organizations strategy, IAM design, networking, naming conventions, and tagging standards.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support repeatable, controlled releases across Development, Test, and Production environments.
- Provision and configure AWS infrastructure as code (Terraform), including services such as AWS Glue, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, VPC networking, VPN/Direct Connect connectivity, Route 53, security groups, and firewall controls to connect on-premises source systems.
- Configure Git-based integration and deployment workflows for platforms such as Databricks or Snowflake to enforce version-controlled deployments.
- Support deployment of backend services, orchestration components, data services, APIs, and front-end applications.
- Enable monitoring, logging, alerting, and telemetry using services such as Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, and observability platforms like Datadog.
- Define and implement operational controls for reliability, performance, scalability, backup/recovery, and incident response.
- Implement and enforce secure access patterns using AWS IAM, IAM Identity Center (AWS SSO), AWS Secrets Manager, AWS KMS, and policy-driven access controls, including row-level and column-level security requirements where applicable.
- Ensure the solution aligns with architecture, security, governance, and service transition requirements.
- Support non-functional testing, release readiness, and path-to-production activities.
- Produce comprehensive operational runbooks, platform documentation, and a full IaC handover package enabling the client’s internal IT team to take ownership of platform operations at programme close.
- Support cost management, network performance tuning, and security hardening of the AWS platform; contribute to FinOps reporting and disaster recovery planning.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling and release automation.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or similar tools.

- Experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake deployments in AWS environments.
- Strong understanding of containerisation, serverless architectures, managed compute services, and environment promotion strategies.
- Experience with observability tooling covering logging, monitoring, alerting, and service health.
- Knowledge of security best practices including IAM, RBAC, secrets management, encryption, and policy-driven access control.
- Experience supporting production-grade data platforms in enterprise environments, ideally in regulated sectors with compliance requirements such as PIPEDA or equivalent.
- Familiarity with Git-based workflows and collaborative engineering practices.
- Strong troubleshooting, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
