Role Overview

We are seeking experienced DevOps Migration Engineers with strong AWS automation, Infrastructure-as-Code and environment build expertise. You will help design and deploy landing zones, automate migration frameworks, and support large-scale legacy modernisation into AWS and Stromasys-backed platforms.

This role is central to enabling repeatable, secure and high-quality cloud migrations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, deploy and maintain AWS environments using Terraform (must have).
  • Create and enhance Ansible playbooks for configuration, automation and repeatable builds.
  • Support migration teams by contributing to automated runbooks, pipelines and validation tooling.
  • Develop IaC modules, patterns and templates aligned to best practice.
  • Work closely with cloud architects to deliver scalable, secure, multi-environment landing zones.
  • Integrate automation with CI/CD pipelines and ensure consistent, compliant deployments.
  • Troubleshoot issues across AWS, Terraform code, Ansible automation and CI/CD workflows.

Experience Required

  • Strong working knowledge of AWS architecture, services, networking and security patterns.
  • Expert-level experience with Terraform and Ansible (mandatory).
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, etc.).
  • Background in cloud migration, transformation or legacy modernisation programmes.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell or similar).
  • Ability to produce clean, reusable, well-tested IaC frameworks.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS migration tooling (Application Migration Service, SMS, DMS, DataSync).
  • Understanding of emulation-supported migration patterns (e.g., Stromasys CHARON).
  • Knowledge of containerisation (EKS/ECS) or service modernisation.
  • Security best practices (IAM, KMS, CIS benchmarks, guardrails, OUs).
