We're working with a growing SaaS business looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a well-established AWS environment supporting a live customer platform used globally.

This role is focused on maintaining, supporting and improving an existing cloud estate rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

Experience with infrastructure monitoring and alerting
Understanding of WAF, security tooling and cyber security best practices
Experience managing DNS and Cloudflare environments
Windows Server and/or Linux administration experience
Experience supporting backups, resilience and disaster recovery processes

Nice to Have

Exposure to Infrastructure as Code or automation tooling
Experience improving observability or monitoring processes
Understanding of Cyber Essentials or security frameworks
Experience working in smaller teams with broad infrastructure ownership

What's On Offer

Hybrid working model
22 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Additional birthday day off
Company share scheme after 6 months
Genuine ownership and autonomy within the infrastructure function
Opportunity to influence and improve a live SaaS platform used at scale
Supportive, collaborative team environment without excessive bureaucracy

What we offer:

22 days annual leave plus public holidays.
Additional day off for your birthday.
Private medical insurance.
Salary: £40,000 - £46,000 depending on experience.
Access to the company profit share scheme following 6 months of service.
