- 3 years in a Platform Support Engineer, DevOps, or similar role
- A track record of delivering high-quality support to internal or external clients, with strong communication and responsiveness.
- Experience working in financial services is preferred but not required.

- Respond to Slack and support queue requests promptly, taking time to understand each request fully before acting and keeping users informed of progress and timelines throughout.
- Maintain clear and up-to-date ticket records so that the team always has visibility of what is in flight.
- Work within agreed SLAs and help users understand what to expect and when, including when a request needs to be prioritised, routed to another team, or scheduled.
- Bring a security-conscious mindset to every request, understanding when to proceed independently, when to involve the security team, and when compliance or operational constraints apply.
- Build user confidence in the support function by being reliable, transparent, and easy to work with.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to infrastructure, applications, and configurations, ensuring minimal downtime.
- Promote self-service solutions and help users help themselves where possible, reducing repetitive requests over time.
- Support and manage infrastructure in AWS, including EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, and VPCs.
- Configure and manage servers using Ansible for operational consistency.
