Job Description

Title: Infrastructure Engineer

Location: Penarth (5 days a week for first 3 months)

Salary: £40,000 - £46,000

Summary:

We're hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of a well-established AWS and internal IT environment within a growing SaaS tech business.

It's a great opportunity for someone who wants full ownership of infrastructure rather than being a small part of a bigger team.

You'd be managing a stable AWS environment but also the wider IT estate, so you get that mix of cloud and hands-on responsibility. You'll work closely with leadership and gradually take over the full infrastructure function. It suits someone who enjoys improving systems rather than constantly firefighting or rebuilding from scratch.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage and optimise AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, Route 53)
  • Maintain Linux and Windows environments
  • Oversee backups, disaster recovery and system resilience
  • Manage DNS, CDN and edge services (Cloudflare)
  • Own internal IT systems, hardware and security
  • Improve monitoring, automation and operational efficiency

Why apply?

  • Full ownership of infrastructure estate
  • Direct exposure to leadership
  • Clear progression into senior ownership role

What we offer:

  • 22 days annual leave plus public holidays.
  • Additional day off for your birthday.
  • Private medical insurance.
  • Salary: £40,000 - £46,000 depending on experience.
  • Access to the company profit share scheme following 6 months of service.
