Job description:
Build the foundations that everything else runs on Why this role exists
We are growing our cloud platform and need a skilled Cloud Engineer to help us design, build and protect the core infrastructure that our digital services rely on. This role exists to ensure our cloud environment is resilient, secure and ready to scale as our business grows locally and internationally.
What you’ll do
Design and build reliable cloud infrastructure that teams across the business depend on
Maintain and improve our cloud networking, security and connectivity
Support major initiatives by providing deep technical guidance and hands-on delivery
Identify risks early and put practical solutions in place before they impact our clients
Work closely with engineers and architects to enable safe, efficient delivery
Continuously improve how we build and manage cloud environments
The team you’ll be part of
You’ll join our Cloud Core Engineering team, a specialist group of around eight engineers who look after the base cloud infrastructure used across the organisation. We create the foundations that allow product and engineering teams to build and move fast, safely. Our work underpins critical systems used by millions of clients every day.
Why this role is different
We work on foundational platforms, not isolated projects
Our decisions influence how teams across the business build and scale
You’ll get exposure to complex, enterprise-scale cloud environments
We value thoughtful engineering, collaboration and long-term thinking
We support continuous learning as cloud technology evolves
What we’re looking for
Solid experience working with cloud platforms, particularly AWS
Strong networking knowledge across cloud and traditional environments
Experience designing secure, scalable infrastructure
Familiarity with automation, pipelines and modern delivery practices
The ability to work well in a team and also take ownership of your own work
A curious mindset and willingness to keep learning as technology changes
Relevant cloud or networking certifications are an advantage
Ready to build what matters?
If you want to work on cloud infrastructure that supports real impact at scale, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help us build platforms that others can rely on.
