Help build and scale backend infrastructure for a financial services platform in the Middle East. You'll join a team working to strengthen AWS architecture, automate deployments, and raise the bar on platform reliability and security.

The Role :

We're supporting a client who are hiring a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to take ownership of infrastructure automation and reliability. The current setup is partially built (some Lambda, minimal Terraform), and you'll be expected to bring it up to speed. It's a full-time contract (initially 3 months, but likely to extend / go perm for the right person) with the flexibility to work remotely, and a clear priority : reduce risk, speed up delivery, and help the team meet aggressive timelines.

What You'll Be Doing :

• Optimising and scaling AWS Lambda-based deployments.
• Building out Terraform infrastructure (IaC from the ground up).
• Improving CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
• Automating test and rollback processes to support rapid iteration.
• Implementing logging, monitoring, and audit trails suitable for a regulated product.
