Job Description:

A leading global media & technology organisation is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join its Infrastructure team, working on some of the most performance-critical cloud systems in the industry.

This is a unique opportunity to combine enterprise-grade cloud engineering with the fast-paced demands of live global events, supporting an AWS and Kubernetes platform across multiple sites.

? What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead design, support, and optimisation of hybrid Kubernetes platforms (on-prem & cloud)
• Own and evolve AWS infrastructure: EKS, EC2, IAM, VPCs, Route53, S3
• Use Terraform to provision scalable, repeatable infrastructure as code
• Act as a senior stakeholder on key infrastructure projects
• Collaborate with InfoSec teams to ensure cloud compliance and governance
• Support infrastructure during global events — both remotely and occasionally on-site
• Partner with DevOps, development, and platform teams to deliver resilient, scalable systems
• Be available for occasional work outside normal business hours (planned and unplanned)

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years' experience in IT infrastructure roles
• 4+ years working with AWS at scale (networking, security, core services)
• Solid grasp of hybrid networking: Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, VPC Peering
• Experience working as a 3rd line engineer or Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
• Strong communication skills and ability to remain calm under pressure
• Understanding of low-level compute (CPU, memory, storage)
• UK driving licence required (for travel to on-site event support)

? Why Apply?

• Work with high-performance infrastructure used in globally broadcast events
• Collaborate with a forward-thinking engineering and DevOps team
• Combine technical depth with high-impact, real-time systems
• Opportunity to influence architectural direction at a senior level
