As an Infrastructure Engineer you will design, build, manage, and support the critical infrastructure services that underpin internal operations and high‑volume, public‑facing digital services. You will operate as a core member of a blended agile squad, enabling delivery teams through secure‑by‑design principles, modernising legacy estates, and supporting cloud adoption on AWS.

• Support migration from legacy technologies (including AIX, Oracle, and Natural/Adabas) to strategic, API‑led architectures, ensuring continuity of service while improving resilience and performance.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, release orchestration, and automated testing to accelerate delivery while maintaining governance.
• Implement engineering guardrails, least‑privilege IAM, tagging strategies, and observability frameworks to monitor and reduce the mean time to detect and resolve issues.
• Work collaboratively with technical architects to translate designs into operations, ensuring systems are integrated, delivered, and operated as required.
• Troubleshoot and identify problems across different technology capabilities, breaking problems into component parts to diagnose root causes.

• Extensive experience delivering secure, scalable cloud and platform services within large‑scale government or enterprise environments.
• Practitioner‑level capability in IT Infrastructure, Systems Design, Systems Integration, and Troubleshooting, as defined by the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework.
• Proven expertise in AWS cloud‑native architectures, including compute, storage, networking, and identity management.
• Strong track record in Infrastructure as Code and configuration tools (Terraform, AWS Cloud Formation, Ansible) and CI/CD automation.
• Demonstrable experience working to the GDS Service Standard, the Technology Code of Practice, and secure‑by‑design principles.
• Experience operating effectively within blended, multi‑supplier agile squads, demonstrating strong collaboration and knowledge‑transfer skills.
• Eligibility for BPSS clearance, with the readiness and eligibility to obtain SC clearance required for production environment access.

• Experience supporting digital transformation programmes that involve legacy modernisation, such as mainframe‑adjacent systems, AIX, Oracle, Natural, and Adabas.
