• £70,000 - £80,000 per annum + Pension + Healthcare

We are working with a globally recognised media and technology organisation to hire a Senior Dev Ops Engineer into their Belfast engineering team. This is a hands‑on senior role sitting at the heart of a live re‑platforming project, migrating a legacy application into AWS and modernising it for cloud‑native best practices. You will work alongside an experienced senior engineer to drive this forward, with real ownership and influence over architecture decisions, not a ticket‑by‑ticket delivery role.

You will collaborate with cross‑functional teams, lead infrastructure improvements, and help shape the Dev Ops practice across the organisation. If you want genuine end‑to‑end ownership of a production environment and the chance to leave a real technical mark on a meaningful project, this is a strong opportunity to do that.

• Designing and implementing robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure on AWS
• Driving the migration of legacy systems into cloud‑native architectures
• Developing and maintaining infrastructure‑as‑code using Terraform or comparable tooling
• Improving system reliability, observability, and cost‑efficiency across environments
• Modernising CI/CD practices to enable safe, rapid delivery across multiple environments
• Supporting incident response and improving operational visibility through monitoring, logging, and tracing
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to engineering standards and design reviews

• Deep, broad AWS experience across the full ecosystem, not siloed knowledge of individual services
• Strong Linux fundamentals, considered essential for this role
• Strong networking knowledge and an understanding of distributed architectures
• A track record of owning and running production environments end to end
• Experience with containerised workloads in production using Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes
• Proficiency in Terraform or a comparable infrastructure‑as‑code tool
• Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, Go, or similar

• Experience with Ansible, Cloudflare, PostgreSQL, or MySQL in production
• Familiarity with observability platforms such as Datadog, Splunk, or ELK
• Exposure to multi‑tenant SaaS architectures
• Experience leading or contributing to cloud migration projects

• Location:
  
  Belfast
• Working pattern:
  Hybrid, with core office days on Monday and Thursday
• Benefits include private medical and pension matching
