Lead DevOps Engineer ( AWS migration)

About this role

N-iX is looking for Lead DevOps Engineer (AWS Migration) - to join the team About the client Our client is a leading European online car marketplace, serving over 30 million monthly users across 18 countries. As a Lead DevOps Engineer – AWS Migration & Security, you will play a pivotal role in modernizing the platform that powers their business — migrating core services to AWS and strengthening the security posture that protects their customers and data at scale.

About the role We are looking for two experienced engineers to drive a cloud migration and security-hardening initiative through the end of the year. This is a hybrid role, split roughly 50/50 between SRE/operations work and hands-on software development. You will work cross-functionally with multiple teams, migrating services to AWS while identifying and remediating security issues along the way. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable writing Terraform as they are debugging application code, and who enjoys the pace and ownership that comes with a focused, time-boxed engagement.

This is a hands-on project-based role combining platform engineering, cloud migration, DevOps, and security remediation. You will work across multiple engineering teams, helping migrate services to AWS, implement infrastructure on EKS, improve deployment processes, and address security issues. The role may have a stronger focus on infrastructure and platform engineering or on development and DevOps, depending on the candidate’s background and the needs of the assigned domain.

This position does not include on-call, incident response, or traditional SRE responsibilities. Responsibilities: Migrate existing services from Azure and potentially other platforms to AWS. Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure using Terraform. Work with AWS EKS, Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized workloads. Configure and maintain AWS networking, including VPCs, subnets, security groups, IAM, and load balancing.

Support migration activities across AWS accounts, environments, and engineering teams. Identify and remediate security issues related to secrets, keys, dependencies, and infrastructure configuration. Apply security fixes, patches, and library updates, including Dependabot-driven remediation. Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation using GitHub Actions. Work with existing observability tools, including Datadog and New Relic, while supporting the migration toward Grafana.
