  • Optimise data workflows and implement strategies for efficient data handling across cloud environments.
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the software delivery process, ensuring quick and reliable deployment of applications and services.
  • Collaborate with development teams to integrate automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery practices.
  • Implement best practices for securing infrastructure, including network security, IAM (Identity and Access Management), and data encryption.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations related to cloud security and data protection.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, architects, and security engineers, to deliver high-quality solutions.
  • Provide support and troubleshooting for infrastructure-related issues, performing root cause analysis and implementing fixes.


Qualifications:


  • Proven experience with AWS MSK/Confluent and Kafka.
  • Strong expertise in multi-cloud environments, including public and private cloud hosting.
  • Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and AWS CloudWatch.
  • Proficiency in containerisation and orchestration technologies, particularly Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD tools and practices, including Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar.
  • Experience with data replication, data archival, and managing large-scale data pipelines.
  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and system management.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a focus on system reliability and security.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.


Preferred Skills:


  • Certifications in AWS, Kubernetes, or other relevant technologies.
  • Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.

  • Participate in a generous employee referral program.
  • A highly collaborative and collegial environment with opportunities for career advancement.
  • Be encouraged to take bold steps and embrace a mindset of experimentation.
  • Choose your preferred device, PC or Mac.


Diversity & Inclusion:


Here at Amber Labs, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. Our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion includes:


  • Valuing the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of all employees and creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.


  • Prohibiting all forms of harassment, bullying, discrimination, and victimisation and promoting a culture of dignity and respect for all.


  • Educating all new hires on our Diversity and Inclusion policies and ensuring they are aware of their rights and responsibilities to create a safe and inclusive workplace.


  • By taking these steps, we are dedicated to building a workplace that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our employees and communities.



This role at Amber Labs is a permanent position, and all employees are required to meet the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS). Please be advised that, at this time, we are unable to consider candidates who require sponsorship or hold a visa of any type.
