What you'll be doing

• Reporting to The Head of Architecture you'll be delivering a project to modernise and automate the end-to-end infrastructure life cycle of a mature C# .NET Core WPF application. You'll take ownership of evolving our AWS environment, streamlining operations, and enabling semi-technical staff to reliably spin up, operate, and tear down environments with ease.
• This role is highly hands-on and will involve designing automation workflows, modernising Infrastructure as Code, and ensuring our infrastructure is robust, maintainable, and secure.
• Lead the modernisation and automation of end-to-end infrastructure life cycle in AWS.
• Refactor and standardise existing IaC (Python, Ansible, CDK, Terraform) to improve maintainability and reliability.
• Automate provisioning, configuration, scaling, and teardown workflows for core AWS services (Aurora MySQL, SES, S3, EFS, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, and others).
• Build and integrate operator-friendly dashboards to allow semi-technical staff to manage workflows safely.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments.
• Establish robust logging, monitoring, and alerting across the stack.
• Design and enforce role-based access controls (RBAC) integrated with Microsoft Entra.
• Collaborate with developers and stakeholders to ensure automation aligns with business needs.
• Document workflows, processes, and best practices for long-term maintainability.

Who we're looking for

• At Reapit, we prioritise hiring individuals who share our values and possess the right attitudes and behaviours for success.
• Whilst all the listed qualities are desirable, don't worry if you don't meet all of them, we'd still like to hear from you.
• A senior-level AWS Infrastructure/DevOps engineer with a track record of modernising and automating mature systems.
• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS services: RDS Aurora MySQL, S3, SES, EFS, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway (plus others in a production environment).
• Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, Ansible, Python-based automation).
• Skilled in designing end-to-end automation workflows with CI/CD, monitoring, and self-service capabilities.
• Experience integrating Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for authentication/authorisation and role-based access control.
• Strong background in logging, alerting, and observability (eg, CloudWatch, OpenSearch, ELK).
• Comfortable working autonomously to deliver large projects end-to-end.
• Excellent communication skills for working with both technical engineers and semi-technical operators.
• A contract-focused engineer who is outcome-driven and leaves behind maintainable solutions.
