SUMMARY:
Build the cloud backbone of a realâworld SaaS platform.
Work on impactful new technology that powers decisionâmaking at scale.
This is a role for DevOps engineers who want ownership, not ticket queues.

POSITION INFO:

My client is an AgriTech SaaS company looking for a seniorâlevel Cloud DevOps Engineer to own and evolve the infrastructure that supports their production platform.

You’ll be trusted to make infrastructure decisions, improve CI/CD pipelines, and introduce automation that genuinely reduces friction. The work is handsâon, technically deep, and directly tied to product success. If you enjoy solving hard infrastructure problems and seeing the realâworld impact of what you build, this role will resonate.

Skills & Experience:
Strong experience as a Cloud / DevOps Engineer in a SaaS or product environment
Solid handsâon experience with AWS (ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda)
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
Strong containerisation experience using Docker and exposure to Kubernetes
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible)
Monitoring and alerting experience using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or CloudWatch
Experience with cloud security best practices and performance optimisation
Comfortable working across teams to troubleshoot and improve production systems
Strong problemâsolving mindset and attention to detail

Qualification:
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or Information Systems (preferred)
Relevant AWS certifications beneficial but not mandatory
