Job Description
Senior IaC Software Engineer/ Architect Are you a seasoned software engineer with a passion for designing and developing cloud-native Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions from the ground up? Our client is seeking a talented and motivated Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of our next-generation observability platform. THIS IS NOT A DEVOPS ROLE What You'll Do: 
- Collaborate within a dynamic software engineering team to architect and build a new cloud-native IaC platform. Develop software using technologies such as Docker Compose, Terraform, Kubernetes (K8s), Python, and Go. Provision and orchestrate open-source services including Loki, Redis, Grafana, Authentik, Netbird, among others. Design and implement CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment processes. Initially focus on AWS environments, with the goal of creating a solution portable to other public cloud or on-premises setups. Engage in the full development lifecycle: design, define work, document, debate, code, debug, and support features from inception.
- A software developer experienced in designing and delivering complex IaC capabilities from scratch, not merely operating existing environments. A background in developing cloud-native systems software within SaaS organisations. Demonstrated expertise in software design and development for cloud-native IaC platforms. Strong communication skills, a collaborative spirit, and a commitment to quality.
- Proven experience in early-stage projects utilizing technologies like AWS, Terraform, Python, Go, and a solid understanding of Bash. Familiarity with clustering, load balancing in cloud environments, and a solid grasp of networking and telemetry, especially within AWS. Proficiency in Linux system administration and service configuration.
