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.

As part of our process, we require all candidates to undertake references and background checks, which include a police check, anti-money laundering and bankruptcy checks.
