Senior Cloud & Platform Engineer

Описание вакансии

About us

Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth.  Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

We are seeking a skilled and passionate Cloud & Platform Engineer to join our dynamic team.  You are someone who can walk into an unfamiliar system, break it down quickly, and deliver a working solution. You’ll design, build, and improve cloud services and the platforms they run on, witha strong focus on AWS, security, and reliability. You’ll own work end-to-end with a high-degree of autonomy—planning, building, testing, rolling out, and supporting what you ship.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own delivery: take a problem from “unclear” to “done,” including design, implementation, rollout, and follow-through.
• Build cloud infrastructure: design and maintain cloud foundations using infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred), and improve delivery pipelines.
• Work across app + platform: support web services and APIs, and help teams integrate with identity, storage, and networking.
• Containers & Kubernetes: package and deploy services using containers; operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes workloads; use Helm for repeatable deployments.
• Security by default: design for least privilege, safe network boundaries, and secure configurations; help investigate and fix security findings in cloud workloads.
• Observability that works: ensure services have useful logs, metrics, and traces; prefer OpenTelemetry-style approaches (e.g., SigNoz) so teams can instrument once and keep options open.
• Automation mindset: remove manual steps with scripts and tooling; improve reliability through repeatable processes and practical guardrails.
• Support performance and scale: profile and tune applications and databases; improve latency and stability with measured changes.
• Raise the bar: share patterns, write clear docs, and help others learn—especially around AWS practices and secure delivery.

What we are looking for

Core Skills:

• Strong AWS experience across identity, networking, compute, storage, and managed services.
• Solid web engineering fundamentals (HTTP, APIs, auth flows) and the ability to debug distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of identity and access management and authentication patterns (e.g., SAML/OAuth).
• Practical data and database architecture knowledge (design, performance, migrations, operations).
• Strong networking and security fundamentals; ability to respond to security findings and improve configurations.

Delivery & operations:

• Infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred) and experience building repeatable deployments.
• Containers, Kubernetes, and Helm experience (build, deploy, troubleshoot).
• Observability experience with logs/metrics/traces; familiarity with OpenTelemetry concepts or implementations.
• Ability to automate with scripting (e.g., Bash/Python/TypeScript) and improve CI/CD workflows.

Ways of working:

• Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working independently.
• Strong critical thinking: you form hypotheses, test quickly, and communicate clearly.
• You finish what you start and keep stakeholders informed.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with serverless or event-driven AWS designs and automation workflows.
• Familiarity with Google Cloud (GCP) is a plus.
• Threat modelling and hands-on security review/remediation experience.
• Knowledge of pharmaceutical R&D processes or a science background (preferred, not required).

Who you are

• Grit-Driven: You show grit when faced with technical issues and don't rest until you understand the root cause.
• Analytical: You have the ability to perform complex data analysis and incident triage.
• Collaborative: You enjoy regular interaction with cross-functional partnerships to drive user success.
• Sustainable Builder: You are committed to building reliable, transparent, interoperable, and sustainable enterprise-grade platforms.
• Detail-Oriented: You take ownership of lifecycle management, including run-books and training curricula.
• Innovation-Focused: You have a passion for modern infrastructure automation and empowering teams to move faster.
