The Mission

West Code is supporting the build of a new greenfield international gaming platform. We are looking for a Senior / Principal DevOps Engineer to strengthen the PAM / Core Platform area and help shape the AWS platform used by multiple engineering teams.

This is not a ticket-driven infrastructure role. We need someone who can take ownership of platform decisions, production reliability, developer enablement and the operational foundations of a high-volume transactional system.

This role gives you direct influence on how the platform is built, operated and scaled from the beginning.

You’ll work with senior engineers on a true greenfield platform where AWS architecture, reliability, automation and developer experience are foundational rather than an afterthought.

If you like owning platforms rather than just maintaining pipelines, let’s talk.
