Who you are To thrive at Employment Hero, you’ll need to embody The EH Way – operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you’ll also bring Required Experience & Skills Highly Regarded Personal Attributes - - 5+ years of experience in infrastructure architecture, cloud engineering, or a similar senior technical role. - Deep hands-on expertise with AWS services — particularly networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53), compute (EC2, Fargate), and storage (S3, EBS, EFS). - Proven experience designing and operating containerised workloads using AWS EKS and/or AWS ECS on Linux. - Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, including cluster architecture, RBAC, networking (CNI plugins), and workload management. - Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation. - Understanding of DevSecOps practices and the ability to integrate security controls into infrastructure pipelines. - Expertise in deploying Threat Detection & Remediation tooling within an AWS environment.
