Role information

8+ years of hands-on experience building, managing, and maintaining production AWS environments.

Experience with AWS landing zones, multi-account governance, IAM, networking, and security controls.

Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.

Practical experience with Docker, container deployments, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.

Confidence supporting databases, message queues, and background processing.

Strong troubleshooting skills across application and infrastructure layers, particularly during deployments and production incidents.

Sound judgment in balancing security, delivery speed, cloud costs, reliability, and operational complexity.

Clear communication and a collaborative, hands-on approach, with the ability to implement improvements rather than simply provide recommendations.

About Gapstars

Gapstars was founded in 2015 on a simple belief: great companies shouldn't be limited by access to talent. By connecting ambitious European scale-ups with the exceptional engineering talent emerging from Sri Lanka, Gapstars set out to build dedicated teams that operate as true extensions of their partners' organisations.

What began as a small, ambitious team has grown into a global organisation of more than 300 experts across Amsterdam, Lisbon, Dubai, and Colombo, supporting over 75 companies worldwide. Today, Gapstars Group continues that journey - connecting visionary companies with the people, processes, and platforms that help them grow across tech, finance, and beyond.
