Meet the DevOps team 

Our DevOps team supports every product and engineering team across the business. Over more than a decade on AWS, we’ve grown from a small EC2 footprint to managing hundreds of containerised workloads across 40+ AWS accounts and multiple regions.

You’ll join an established, friendly, and capable team that balances structure with autonomy. We work closely with developers, own the infrastructure foundations that power the business, and are constantly improving how our platforms are built and deployed as we scale into new products and markets.

Collaboration is central to how we work. We value curiosity, good judgement, and a willingness to get stuck in. If you have an idea to improve how things run, you’ll be encouraged to share it and help make it happen.

What you'll do

We’re hiring two Junior DevOps Engineers to support multiple development teams across our AWS environment. You’ll work on a broad range of tasks, from managing access and permissions, maintaining and troubleshooting AWS infrastructure, through to supporting the delivery of applications and services that run across multiple AWS services, accounts, and regions.

You’ll gain hands-on experience working at real scale, with exposure to a wide range of AWS services and modern DevOps practices. Supported by close collaboration with our senior engineers and a strong partnership with AWS Enterprise Support, this role offers a genuine opportunity to learn quickly, take on real responsibility, and build a solid foundation for a DevOps career.

To make this happen, you will:

• Action tickets assigned to you via JIRA. Examples of tickets include:
• New Service Requests – Deploying new apps, sites, services (ECS, EC2, Lambda, CloudFront/S3, etc.) using custom in-house tools and CICD tools (CodePipeline, TeamCity) into multiple AWS accounts and Regions
• Troubleshooting – Working together with developers to resolve permissions issues, network access issues, build and deployment errors, application level errors, etc

• Be the first response to Production incidents during business hours, escalating when needed
• Be involved with DevOps team projects to improve existing architecture, enhance security and meet best practices
• Create and maintain documentation of internal processes
• Be part of the on-call rotation for service outages outside business hours (approximately 1 week in every 10)

What you'll bring

• Experience in a technical role (e.g. Software Development, IT Support), or a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline
• Exposure to scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, and/or Bash (Python preferred)
• An AWS certification (Cloud Practitioner or Associate level preferred)
• Foundational knowledge of core AWS services such as ECS, EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Route 53, and CloudFormation
• Strong problem-solving skills with an interest in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment
• A willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies, tools, and ways of working

You are the type of person who

• Has a positive, can-do attitude and a strong sense of ownership
• Is genuinely committed to delivering high-quality service
• Is curious and open to adopting AI-driven tools and practices within DevOps and AWS workflows
• Has the flexibility to take on tasks of any size, from small improvements to larger initiatives

LEAP is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
