You'll have ownership and responsibility for your solutions while being part of a wider engineering community that supports your growth.

We fully embrace DevOps and Cloud-first principles, so we value engineers who enjoy working across the full delivery lifecycle and are eager to learn new technologies. You'll help define and implement best practices for AWS-native database services, ensuring security, scalability, and automation are at the heart of everything we deliver.

It's an exciting time to join us and shape our customers' cloud journey. Your work will make a direct impact on systems that matter-and you'll do it for an organisation that makes a huge impact on the security of the UK.

About you

You will have hands-on experience in many of the following:

• AWS Database Services: Deep expertise in Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle) and Aurora, including provisioning, configuration, patching, scaling, and performance tuning.
• AWS Native Capabilities: Experience with backup and recovery strategies using AWS tools, automated failover, multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, and monitoring via CloudWatch.
• Security and Compliance: Implementing IAM roles, encryption (KMS), auditing, and patching in AWS environments.
• Automation and Infrastructure as Code: Using Terraform or CloudFormation to provision and manage database resources.
• Performance Optimization: Query tuning, indexing strategies, and troubleshooting in cloud environments.
• Scripting: Strong skills in Python, Bash, or Shell for automation and operational tasks.
• Operating Systems: Working knowledge of Linux and Windows.
• Communication and Problem-Solving: Ability to collaborate effectively and adapt to new technologies.
• Agile Delivery: Experience working in Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe).

It would be great if you also had experience in some of these, but if not we'll help you with them:

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for database deployments (Jenkins, Bamboo).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Database - Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect, or Oracle OCP

Security Clearance is required for this vacancy. If you are not currently Security Cleared, you will need to be eligible for this and willing to go through the process.
