We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to building an inclusive, safe and supportive environment that allows everyone to do their best work. We are happy to support any accessibility or neurodiversity requirements that you may need during the recruitment process. About us: We've been around for about ten years and grown from being a little-known tech start-up to creating our own community at the heart of the thriving and diverse tech and digital ecosystem of Greater Manchester. As part of our future journey we're looking to create footprints in other areas of the UK, and in this instance around the Portsmouth and Salisbury Plains area. Our name Naimuri is Japanese and simply means 'nai' meaning 'not' 'muri' meaning 'overburden' These principles apply to every aspect of an organisation from technology, process and infrastructure, through to people, culture and leadership. This means that we empower our teams to do what they think is the right thing, giving them the skills and confidence to explore new ways of working, and to create a bias free environment, where all our people feel comfortable collaborating to deliver the finest ideas and solutions in an agile environment. Our business is focused on 4 cornerstones, which shape and underpin the way in which we go about work and treat each other. These are: Wellbeing, Empowerment, Perpetual Edge and Delivery.

Key Responsibilities: Build & Automate: Deliver reusable infrastructure modules and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab or AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild to support consistent and secure deployments. Platform Ownership: Contribute to the development and refinement of internal AWS Landing Zones, ensuring secure by default and policy driven environments across multiple accounts, whilst expanding your knowledge into the AWS workspace. Operational Excellence: Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve environments using tools like CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty. Governance & Policy: Implement and maintain IAM roles and policies, Service Control Policies, tagging strategies, and cost control measures. Security First: Embed secure design principles into everything you build; support identity and access management, Secrets Manager/KMS integration, secure pipelines and vulnerability management. Collaboration & Enablement: Work with delivery teams to support their use of the platform, coach on best practices, and help define golden paths and documentation that lower the barrier to adoption. Innovation & Evolution: Stay up to date with AWS capabilities, contribute to capability assessments, and actively suggest improvements or new services that align with company strategy (e.g., enabling AI/ML or hybrid connectivity).
