About The Role
We are looking for a skilled AWS Cloud & Python Engineer to join our team, bridging the gap between application development and cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will own the full lifecycle of data transformation applications - writing clean, efficient Python code and designing the AWS infrastructure required to run it seamlessly.
Working closely with our existing cloud engineers, you will focus on building, modernising, and deploying scalable data processing applications. The ideal candidate thrives on end-to-end ownership, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to deploy cost-effective, high-performance AWS architectures that handle large-scale data efficiently.
If you are passionate about solving complex problems and eager to leverage the latest AWS technologies, we would love to hear from you!
