Your Impact We’re seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and maintain the AWS-based backbone of our drone detection and analytics platform. You’ll enable our analysts and agents to deliver actionable insights at scale, ensuring our data pipelines, alerting systems, and compute environments are secure, reliable, and efficient. You’ll work closely with the Decisions and Insights team to operationalize data workflows and automate alerting, applying best practices in DevOps and cloud-native architecture. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on systems that directly support Dedrone’s global airspace security mission.

Design, deploy, and manage AWS infrastructure (S3, EC2, Lambda, Fargate, SNS, CloudWatch, IAM, Code Pipelines etc).
Build and maintain data ingestion and processing pipelines, ensuring reliability and scalability.

Hands‑on experience with Docker and CI/CD tools.
Solid understanding of Python‑based data workflows and microservice design patterns.
Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills, with a focus on reliability and automation.
