The Role : We are seeking a highly autonomous Senior Infrastructure Engineer to lead the growth and optimisation of the AWS infrastructure supporting our ecosystem. As the main owner of our platform infrastructure, you will be at the heart of our technical operations, taking charge of our existing systems with the freedom to architect and implement significant improvements.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include :

• Architect and Own AWS Infrastructure : Take full ownership of the design, deployment, and management of the Basis cloud ecosystem on AWS, ensuring it is secure, scalable, and cost-effective.

• Manage Container Orchestration : Administer and scale our Kubernetes clusters (EKS), managing the lifecycle of cluster components, networking, and containerised workloads.
• Implement Cloud Security : Work with our security architect and security engineer to implement cloud security best practices, including managing IAM roles and policies, network security (VPCs, security groups), and data encryption.
• Drive the Infrastructure Roadmap : Proactively identify performance bottlenecks, technical debt, and areas for improvement. Develop a forward-looking roadmap to ensure our platform remains scalable and resilient
• Contribute to CI / CD Pipelines : Work with backend engineers to improve our continuous integration and deployment pipelines, empowering backend engineers to ship software rapidly and safely.
• Develop the Observability Platform : Build and manage the core observability stack, providing the tools and frameworks that engineers use to instrument their applications for monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• And more!

In this role, you'll partner directly with our backend engineering team, building the platform and tools they need to be successful. We are looking for a proactive, seasoned problem-solver who is excited to not only maintain our current systems but also to strategically own the vision for our future platform. Your work will directly impact the reliability, performance, and security of our products as we grow.
