PBT Group has an exciting opportunity for a Cloud and Infrastructure Automation Engineer. This role will be responsible for managing and optimising server and storage infrastructure across both on-premise and AWS environments, with a strong focus on automation and reliability.



The ideal candidate is hands-on, proactive, and passionate about using automation to streamline infrastructure management -- not just maintain it. You'll play a key role in ensuring performance, scalability, and stability across our systems, while collaborating closely with cross-functional engineering and DevOps teams.



Key Responsibilities

Manage and maintain server and storage infrastructure across on-prem and cloud (AWS) environments. Design, implement, and optimise infrastructure automation using Ansible and Terraform. Build and manage EC2 instances and related AWS resources. Enhance system efficiency, performance, and reliability through continuous improvement initiatives. Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate infrastructure-as-code principles. Support CI/CD pipelines and maintain Git-based workflows for configuration management. Monitor system performance and proactively identify potential issues or improvements. Ensure compliance with security and operational standards. Provide technical guidance, documentation, and mentorship where required.


Key Skills & Experience

3-5+ years' experience in cloud and infrastructure engineering or related roles. Proven experience with AWS (EC2, IAM, networking, storage, etc.). Strong proficiency in Linux administration. Advanced experience in Ansible and Terraform for automation and configuration management. Working knowledge of DevOps tools such as Git, Jenkins, or GitLab CI/CD. Familiarity with monitoring tools and performance optimisation. Experience managing hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud). Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.


Desirable / Advantageous

Certifications in AWS, Linux, or Terraform/Ansible. Exposure to containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) or Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices. Experience within a high-availability or large-scale enterprise environment.


Personal Attributes

Ownership-driven, proactive, and solution-oriented. Strong attention to detail with a focus on automation and efficiency. Adaptable in dynamic environments with shifting priorities. Passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with emerging technologies.
