  • Respond to and manage incidents to minimise downtime and impact on users.

  • Ensure strong documentation of all design decisions, procedures and playbooks.
  • Work closely with the broader technology team and other stakeholders to support application lifecycle management, data development and assist in broader technical collaborations.
  • Provide support to the Cloud Engineer.

Key skills include:

  • Experience with authentication protocols (JWT, Oauth2, OIDC, passwordless – WebAuthN, FIDO).
  • Familiarity with DevOps tools and processes (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code).
  • Strong understanding of data modelling for both SQL and noSQL databases.
  • Sound knowledge of defensive coding practices to address common security vulnerabilities.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
