Description
Cloud Engineer (AWS, Python)
6 month contract - via umbrella company or agency PAYE
Global Financial Services client seeking an AWS Cloud Engineer who comes from a strong Python Development background.
My client is looking for an Engineer who can drive platform engineering & automation and enable cloud-native app development. They like engineers who are able to have in-depth conversations on services/configuration and understand how things are working under the HOOD. The Manager has likened the difference between end-users of cloud - those driving the car, versus those who are able to lift up the bonnet and fiddle with the engine, they want the latter!
The team are big advocates for Agile XP practises, pair programming, test-driven development and an infrastructure as code philosophy.
An ideal candidate would be a really passionate Developer who is working in AWS and who can hold their own when it comes to networking/infrastructure/security rather than an ex Sys Admin who can tweak an existing script. I am looking for a true IAC/Infrastructure-as-Code profile, someone who is able to apply software development best practices to the build and management of cloud infrastructure.
