Build the platform behind a major AI uplift program
This is an prospect for a mid-level engineer with a strong development background to join a growing AI program and work at the intersection of Python development, cloud engineering, DevOps and Infrastructure as Code.
You'll join a collaborative product team working alongside an experienced Lead Engineer, helping build, automate and operate the AWS infrastructure and engineering foundations supporting the organisation's AI capability.
We're particularly interested in engineers who enjoy writing code, automating environments and solving engineering problems.
If Python and Infrastructure as Code – particularly AWS CDK or Terraform – are your strengths, this role should be firmly on your radar.
What you'll be doing
You'll work across both new project delivery and ongoing platform operations, including:
Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK and Terraform
Building Python automation, integrations and supporting platform services
Developing and improving GitLab CI/CD pipelines
Supporting the design and implementation of AWS cloud services
Automating deployments, releases and environment configuration
Improving platform observability across logging, monitoring, dashboards and alerting
Troubleshooting platform and deployment issues
Contributing to root‐cause analysis and technical remediation
Supporting platform reliability, security and lifecycle management
Creating runbooks and practical technical documentation
Working closely with the Lead Engineer and broader product team to continuously improve engineering practices
What we're looking for




We're looking for someone who has a developer mindset combined with practical DevOps and cloud engineering skills.
You'll ideally have:
Strong hands‐on Python development and scripting capability
Practical Infrastructure as Code experience using AWS CDK and/or Terraform
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines – GitLab is highly regarded
Good working knowledge of AWS services and cloud infrastructure
Familiarity with DevOps/SRE concepts including monitoring, alerting and incident response
Strong troubleshooting and problem‐solving skills
A structured approach to root‐cause analysis
The confidence to independently progress your work while collaborating closely with senior engineers and the wider team
You don't need to tick every box.
If you're a strong Python developer who has moved towards cloud, automation and DevOps, we'd particularly like to hear from you.
Why this opportunity?
$700-$800 per day including super
Initial 6-month contract
Potential pathway to a permanent role
Work on a significant AI uplift program
Hands‐on exposure to Python, AWS, CDK, Terraform and GitLab
Build and improve platforms rather than simply maintaining legacy infrastructure
Work closely with an experienced Lead Engineer
Opportunity to broaden your experience across AI platform and cloud engineering
If you're a developer at heart who enjoys Python, AWS and building infrastructure through code, this is an opportunity to apply those skills to a growing AI platform and take the next step in your DevOps / Platform Engineering career.
