> Feeld · London, United Kingdom (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-11

**Salary:** GBP 105,000–130,000

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Engineering

## Description

At Feeld, we are creating a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centred product and are looking for a **Staff Infrastructure Engineer (AWS)** to become part of our remote team and our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships.

You'll join our Infrastructure engineers as a hands-on peer, sharing the day-to-day work from your first weeks. Alongside that, you'll help set the direction for how Feeld runs on AWS: defined as code, automated end to end, resilient, and easy for product squads to build on. The aim is for routine work to get lighter for the whole team, so more of its time goes into making the platform better.

To be right for this role, you should have deep, hands-on experience running production systems on AWS with Terraform, a track record of replacing manual operations with automation that others adopt, and the judgement to shape technical direction together with the team you join.

## What you will do:

-   Share the Infrastructure team's day-to-day work from your first weeks (requests, upgrades, daily checks and incidents), and join on-call once it's in place.
-   Shape the technical direction and standards for our AWS infrastructure with the Infrastructure team, and own the roadmap together.
-   Design and build Terraform modules and patterns that make the secure, reliable way the easy way for product squads.
-   Keep our infrastructure fully in code as it grows, including our edge on Cloudflare and AWS, close the remaining gaps, and automate drift detection so the code stays the source of truth.
-   Evolve how our Terraform is organised and applied (state, environments, module boundaries) as the estate grows, so changes stay small, reviewable and safe to roll out.
-   Automate operational work, such as database migrations, routine production tasks and daily checks, into pipelines with review and audit trails.
-   Own database platform operations for PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, including backups we prove by restoring them regularly.
-   Make AWS service, database and runtime upgrades run with no interruption to Members.
-   Build a model of how growth affects our AWS costs, set up load testing, and use both to plan capacity ahead of launches.

## How you will grow:

-   Shape the technical direction of a whole platform area alongside the Infrastructure team, with the backing to make significant structural changes.
-   Shape how every squad builds and ships, through the standards and tooling you create.
-   Work on infrastructure for a product people trust with deeply personal data, where security and privacy matter to every Member.
-   Grow your Staff-level influence through design reviews, mentoring and cross-team technical leadership.

## Requirements

## About you:

-   You have deep, hands-on experience running production systems on AWS across compute (ECS/Fargate, Lambda), data (RDS or Aurora PostgreSQL, DynamoDB) and networking, including upgrades without downtime and restores you've actually tested.
-   You have designed and maintained a large Terraform codebase, including module design, state layout and safe CI/CD for plan and apply.
-   You are as comfortable doing the routine work as automating it away, and you have replaced manual operations with automation that other engineers actually adopted.
-   You have shaped technical direction for infrastructure at Staff level or equivalent: you write the design, bring people with you, and make the engineers around you more effective.
-   You are calm and methodical in incidents, write clearly, and work well in a remote, async team.

### Bonus points:

-   You have designed or run multi-region architectures on AWS.
-   You have run zero-downtime database upgrades (for example RDS blue/green) or disaster recovery exercises.
-   You have built load testing, capacity plans or cost models for a growing product, or reduced AWS spend through rightsizing and commitments.
-   You have managed multi-account AWS Organizations and IAM Identity Center as code.
-   You have worked with policy-as-code and infrastructure scanning.
-   You have run Cloudflare at scale (DNS, WAF, Workers).
-   You have experience with AWS data and event services.

## Benefits

## About us:

Feeld is an independent, experimental and fully remote organisation reshaping the dialogue on dating and sexuality. The company was founded in 2014 and has evolved since to become the open, distributed structure it is now. We have a naturally agile and fluid culture. The whole team is fully remote, which means you work where and when helps you perform at your best. We regard autonomy highly and treat our organisation as a product – we iterate, improve and test things internally to see what works best for everyone.

## Our culture:

We believe in creating a safe work environment through humanity, fluidity, safety, transparency and progressiveness. When hiring, we look for culture add rather than culture fit.

Because we are a fully remote team, it’s especially important that we create an environment where our colleagues feel included and connected as humans.

## Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Feeld:

Feeld promotes open-mindedness, inclusion, diversity and kindness, both in the world and among our own workforce.

We encourage and welcome applications from people with a history of marginalisation, whether because of race, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, national origin, disability (seen or unseen) or any confluence of intersectional identities.

Our goal is a barrier-free application process and working environment. If you require further details or assistance or have any questions about this process, please let us know at [hr@feeld.co](mailto:hr@feeld.co).

## Compensation and perks:

We are conscious of how our work and decisions impact other humans and the environment. We design our product and organisation with consideration for the wellbeing of our Members and colleagues.

We believe in technology and working environments that enable people to live a meaningful, fulfilled life.

Therefore, we offer our staff:

-   Flexible working hours

-   A fully remote working situation

Our compensation system is one of the ways we work to uphold equity and inclusion at Feeld. Just as we strive to enable honest expression on our platform, we strive for openness of information within the organization. Internally, we keep decision-making transparent to keep each other accountable and make sure all voices are heard. That is why we offer a compensation system that is transparent, honest, and equitable.  Additionally, we believe all humans deserve to earn a competitive wage, so we offer a Baseline Freedom Salary of £60,000 GBP per year for any role that indexes below £60,000 GBP per year.

Estimated compensation for this role:

-   Total cash compensation for this role varies by geographic location. We estimate the market-competitive compensation range for this position to be between £105,000-£130,00 GBP.

-   Your first conversation with Feeld will be a screening call with our recruiter, where you’ll be able to ask - and receive answers - regarding any general questions you have and to confirm the role is a fit for what you’re seeking.
-   Your second conversation will connect you directly with the hiring manager for the role you’re applying to. Here, you’ll have a chance to ask more questions about the work you’ll be doing. This conversation will also focus on your past work experiences.
-   The next step for most of our roles is a candidate challenge. This is an evaluation of the skills relevant to be successful in this role and generally takes about an hour to complete.
-   Your third conversation allows you the opportunity to meet the team members you might be working with on a daily basis. Here, you’ll be able to ask questions about team processes, workflow, and the employee experience at Feeld.
-   We generally make an offer within 2 weeks of our final call, and offer a flexible start date that can begin as early as the next Monday after you sign our offer documentation.
