Are you an experienced cloud leader with a passion for building world class SaaS platforms? We are working with a fast growing and well funded B2B tech company that is transforming its sector through data, advanced analytics, and intuitive web experiences.

They are now seeking a Cloud Platform Lead at Principal or Director level to lead the architecture, development, and operation of a next generation multi tenant SaaS platform. This is a hands on leadership position with strategic scope, ideal for someone who loves working with code, Kubernetes, and compliance.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Greenfield opportunity to design and shape a modern SaaS platform from scratch
• Lead a focused team of three highly skilled engineers (growing to 5 shortly)
• Operate in a multi cloud setup spanning Azure and AWS with support for edge and on prem deployments
• Embed SOC 2 Type II compliance from the start
• Collaborate with top tier engineering and product professionals tackling complex technical challenges

What You Will Be Doing

• Architect and operate a Kubernetes based microservices stack using Infrastructure as Code GitOps and modern security practices
• Set and maintain platform reliability goals including SLOs incident response and continuous compliance
• Design flexible deployment models for on prem and edge use without fragmenting the codebase
• Partner closely with systems engineers and UX designers to deliver seamless customer outcomes
• Mentor and grow a high performing engineering team while remaining technically hands on
• Evaluate and adopt new technologies such as WebAssembly and confidential computing when they add real value

What We Are Looking For

• Seven plus years of hands on experience in DevOps or SRE roles or ten plus years including strategic leadership of production SaaS platforms
• Deep experience with both Azure and AWS in a production environment
• Expertise in Kubernetes including AKS EKS containerization and Helm
• Proven ability to meet and maintain SOC 2 or equivalent compliance
• Strong background in automation observability and GitOps workflows
• Comfortable using AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot Cursor or Claude to enhance delivery
• Bonus if you have experience supporting hybrid or disconnected deployment environments or working with complex scientific or analytics platforms

Tech Stack You Will Be Using

• Cloud: Azure including AKS API Management and DevOps Pipelines and AWS including EKS Lambda and CloudFormation
• Infrastructure as Code and GitOps: Terraform Bicep Pulumi ArgoCD and FluxCD
• Observability: Prometheus Grafana OpenTelemetry and Datadog
• Security and Compliance: HashiCorp Vault Azure Key Vault AWS KMS OPA Gatekeeper and Drata or similar
