The posting

Let's build the future together!

Ikue is a technology scale-up with a clear purpose: hyper-personalization through data. We are building a next-generation SaaS data and analytics platform powered by ML and AI. We are looking for a Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer who can bridge the gap between cloud architecture and high-velocity software delivery.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of DevOps experience, with at least 3 years focused heavily on AWS environments.
  • IaC Expert: Deep proficiency in Terraform is essential.
  • Containerisation proficiency: Extensive experience with Docker and ECS.
  • Infrastructure Mindset: Ability to manage AWS Landing Zones, multi-account structures, and perform Well-Architected Framework reviews.
  • Problem Solver: A self-starter committed to delivering technically excellent solutions and innovative approaches to challenges.
  • Personality & Passion: We value who you are before where you went to school. Your difference is your strength.

In this role, you will:

  • Architect & Automate: Build and maintain a stable, scalable AWS environment using Terraform, CDK, and CloudFormation.
  • Pipeline Refinement: Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless, automated software delivery.
  • Cloud Governance: Maintain and improve our AWS Landing Zone, manage multi-account structures, and oversee secure backup strategies.
  • Orchestration: Manage container orchestration via ECS and integrate serverless components like Lambda, EventBridge, and Step Functions.
  • Operational Excellence: Perform Well-Architected Reviews, implement cloud best practices, and lead cost-optimization (FinOps) initiatives.
  • Collaborate & Resolve: Work side-by-side with developers to troubleshoot performance issues and respond to incidents, ensuring high system reliability.

Why Join Us?

  • Impact: Play a pivotal role in a fast-scaling AI/ML product.
  • Autonomy: Real ownership of the cloud roadmap and technical direction.
  • Flexibility: Choice to work in the office or remotely (Remote-first culture).
  • Rewards: Competitive salary, benefits, and an Employee Share Option Scheme.
  • The "Ikue Kit": A starter kit including your choice of a Windows-based or MacOS-based Laptop
  • Adventure: Our yearly 3-day company trip to a secret summer destination (covered by us!).

This position is open to South African-based candidates only. Valid work authorization for South Africa is required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
