This project is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of enterprise-scale AI adoption, working with AWS cloud-native event-driven architectures that will shape the future of AI-powered data streaming and automation.
The Role:
As an AWS Platform Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, deploying, and optimising event-driven architectures in an AWS cloud environment.

A high-energy approach, working in a fast-paced, cutting-edge environment
Strong stakeholder management skills to collaborate effectively with clients and internal teams

Familiarity with data streaming frameworks such as Kafka Streams, Flink, or Spark Streaming
Knowledge of security best practices, including IAM, encryption, and role-based access control
At least 5 plus years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or backend platform development
