The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Lead with a strong background in DevOps, Cloud Engineering and modern infrastructure technologies to lead the design, development and evolution of our technology platforms.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who combines deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies with the ability to drive engineering best practices, lead technical initiatives and mentor development and infrastructure teams.
The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping our cloud architecture, improving platform scalability, reliability and security, and driving automation across our software delivery lifecycle.

Required Skills & Experience
Significant experience in a Senior DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering or Technical Lead role.
Strong hands-on experience with AWS, including services such as EC2, EKS, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudWatch and Lambda.

Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.
Leadership & Communication
Proven ability to lead technical teams and influence engineering direction.
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience mentoring engineers and promoting a culture of knowledge sharing.
Ability to balance hands-on technical delivery with strategic technical decision-making.

We are looking for a technically strong leader who can operate at both architectural and implementation levels. Someone who enjoys solving complex engineering problems, building scalable cloud platforms, driving DevOps transformation and helping engineering teams deliver high-quality software faster and more reliably.
The ideal candidate will be a hands-on technical leader rather than purely a people manager, with the credibility and experience to influence architecture, guide engineering teams and take ownership of mission-critical platforms.
