Your team

Our Cloud Platform Team is instrumental in designing, implementing, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure in AWS and GCP, while creating tools that empower other teams to work more efficiently. We serve as key technical enablers, building automation and self-service capabilities that streamline operations across the organisation.

Our Cloud Platform Team thrives on making complex systems accessible to others, with a passion for removing technical barriers and enabling teams to focus on their core objectives rather than infrastructure challenges.

Your role in the Team's Success

The Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer will participate in the design, deployment & operation of IaaS & PaaS on a multi-cloud platform and will design and implement cloud best practices, and developer enablement in AWS/GCP.

• Manage the cloud environments, formalise them using IAC, and connect with the on-prem infrastructure.

• Design and build self-service capabilities that accelerate other teams' workflows
• Evaluate, implement and streamline DevOps practices.
• Establish a continuous build environment to accelerate software deployment and development processes.
• Optimise cloud resources to balance performance and cost-efficiency
• Develop comprehensive monitoring and logging systems
• Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for seamless deployment
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and provide technical guidance

We follow a hybrid working model with 3 days in the office -- which we think balances the need to collaborate effectively and connect with each other.

• Lead and Inspire: Drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm
• Think Big: Focus on the problems that most impact commercial outcomes
• Champion the client: Understand and prioritise client's needs
• Deliver at pace: Push for fast, sustainable growth;
• Raise the bar: Take ownership, be accountable and share feedback

What you'll need for this role

• 8-10 years of experience, of which at least 4 years in designing and administering complex cloud Infrastructure platforms (AWS, GCP).
• 4+ years of experience in Infrastructure As Code (Terraform/Ansible/CDK/Pulumi, etc), on-prem/cloud Kubernetes administration.
• Must have DevSecOps skills required (CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Gitlab, Bitbucket, Artifactory, Python, Git, etc.)
• Solid working knowledge of networking and CDNs
• Deep understanding of services like VPC, Direct Connect, Transit Gateways, VPN (AWS, GCP)
• A good understanding of the IaaS, PaaS layers
• Experience in implementing relevant monitoring and alerting actions and writing and maintaining technical documentation.
• Experience in managing Kubernetes clusters and services (EKS preferred, but AKS or GKE acceptable) and building docker images.

We're committed to building teams with a variety of perspectives and skills to help us realise our vision and strategy, that's why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join us on this journey.
