Do you want to make a difference with the work you do? Join us as a Cloud Engineer

Do you enjoy getting to the bottom of tricky issues, making sense of data, and keeping cloud‑hosted services running smoothly? If you like a role that mixes hands‑on problem‑solving with real‑world impact, this could be a great fit.

We are seeking an Cloud Engineer to join our Operations team, supporting the cloud, data and backend systems that underpin a range of Yunex Traffic products. You’ll work closely with Infrastructure Support, Application Support and Development teams to keep services reliable, secure and well‑run - with a strong focus on SQL‑backed platforms and the data that drives them.

This role suits someone who enjoys variety: cloud operations, troubleshooting, and digging into SQL/data issues to find the real root cause. We’re looking for an inquisitive mindset, solid fundamentals, and the drive to learn and improve things.

Responsibilities:

Cloud & Infrastructure Support

Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and application incidents, working through symptoms to root cause.

Carry out day‑to‑day operational tasks such as updates, configuration changes, health checks and environment verification (including database/service checks where relevant).

Support and maintain AWS services used across our operational platforms (e.g. EC2, VPC, ECS/EKS, RDS, MSK, Cloud Formation, Cloud Watch).  System Operations & Monitoring

Maintain and improve monitoring and alerting so services stay healthy, performant and supportable.

Work within established incident and problem management processes, keeping notes clear and producing concise operational updates.

Investigate SQL/database issues in live environments - performance, failed jobs, data integrity and access - and work with engineers to agree safe fixes.

Support deployment activities (including database changes where applicable) and work with developers to ensure smooth releases to test and production environments.  Technical Collaboration

Work with Application Support, Development, and QA teams to understand how systems operate end‑to‑end.

Provide clear and effective communication during incidents and investigations.

Contribute to technical discussions and help design and implement agreed solutions.

Suggest improvements, automate repeatable tasks, and improve observability so we spot issues sooner.
Continuous Improvement & Documentation

Identify opportunities to improve reliability, maintainability, testability and efficiency - from cloud configuration through to SQL/database performance.

Keep documentation up to date: diagrams, operational procedures, runbooks and SQL/data support notes that help others move faster.

Assist with automation using scripting or infrastructure‑as‑code, including repeatable operational checks and data maintenance tasks where appropriate.  Security & Compliance Support

Support patching cycles, vulnerability reviews, and security investigations.
