About the Role & Responsibilities

You'll sit at the intersection of infrastructure and engineering - deploying, monitoring, and managing cloud applications in a fast-moving, technically diverse environment. If cutting-edge work is what drives you, this is the role. 

• Own Brighte's AWS cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and IaC (Terraform), ensuring environments are secure, scalable, reliable and consistently reproducible across all stages
• Monitor and maintain system performance and reliability using Datadog, manage database operations, respond to incidents, and ensure application security across authentication, authorisation and the broader AWS stack
• Design AI-augmented DevOps workflows - agentic pipelines connecting AI models via AWS Bedrock to GitHub, Jira and Slack and embed AI coding assistants (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) with appropriate guardrails into the engineering workflow
• Partner with squad and cross-functional engineering teams on architecture, production readiness and platform decisions, while mentoring the DevOps team through code reviews, best practice enforcement and knowledge sharing

 What You’ll Bring

• Minimum 3 years in DevOps with hands-on experience across AWS cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline, GitLab or equivalent), IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation or CDK), and strong scripting in Python or Bash
• Proven ability to design and deliver complex cloud transformation projects on AWS across serverless (Lambda), microservices, event-driven architectures, VPC, IAM, and both SQL and NoSQL databases
• Strong AWS and cloud security knowledge including network configuration best practices, ACSC ISM application, and the ability to embed security proactively into squad workflows through threat modelling, shift-left testing and compliance-aware architecture decisions
• Working knowledge of monitoring and error reporting tools including AWS CloudWatch, Wiz Portal and Sentry
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development workflows such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or equivalent including repo-level access controls, coding standards for AI output, and critical review of AI-generated code
• Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or equivalent managed AI services, building LLM-connected operational pipelines, prompt engineering, and AI-specific security risks including prompt injection, data leakage and supply chain vulnerabilities in AI tooling

What's in it for you?

• Flexible working arrangements to suit individual needs and a hybrid work model. Our office is designed for collaboration, creativity and balance between office engagement and remote flexibility. We work in office 3 days a week and 2 WFH.
• Free lunch! Yes, there is such a thing! Kickstart your week with our Monday Mingle meaning lunch on us and great company. From tacos, to sushi, to charcoal chicken, it's a delicious way to catch up, unwind and connect.
• Get social. We host a range of social activities at Brighte. A fan-favorite being our weekly Thursday social event, where you can catch up with colleagues over a drink, snack and a game of table tennis.
• We want our employees to share in Brighte’s success. You will be given an opportunity to join our Employee Share Option Plans (ESOP).
• Snacks galore – who doesn’t love that? Our thoughtfully stocked pantry includes snacks to suit your every mood. Fresh bread, protein bars, popcorn, fresh fruit, chocolate, soy crisps, cookies – you name it! We also offer a carefully curated collection of wines and beer on tap for those looking to unwind or enjoy a social moment.
• End-of-trip facilities. Cycle in to work, lock up your wheels and have a shower in our end-of-trip facilities, which come complete with towel service and hair dryers.
• Anniversary leave - your dedication at Brighte won’t go unnoticed. Enjoy an extra day to celebrate your work anniversary with us.
