Job description

Are you passionate about shaping resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure that powers the future of digital transformation?

We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our team and help design, build and optimise secure cloud solutions across AWS and Azure. You’ll be a key part of a forward-thinking team, working closely with architects and developers to deliver infrastructure that enables agility and innovation.

The team is collaborative, supportive, and committed to DevOps and cloud-first principles. We value knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and practical problem solving. You’ll have the chance to influence our cloud strategy and make a real impact.

We can offer great career progression opportunities, ability to be based anywhere across the UK, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs and training and development opportunities.

What you will be doing:

• Designing and deploying secure, scalable, and resilient cloud infrastructure in AWS and Azure.
• Implementing Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation.
• Building automation into infrastructure delivery with CI/CD pipelines.
• Applying cloud security best practices including encryption, RBAC, and compliance controls.
• Monitoring and optimising cloud environments using tools like Azure Monitor, CloudWatch and Grafana.
• Supporting incident response and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven hands-on experience with both AWS and Azure cloud services.
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation).
• Solid experience with automation tools such as Ansible or GitHub Actions.
• Strong understanding of Windows and Linux system administration.
• Familiarity with cloud security, governance, and compliance frameworks.
• Scripting knowledge in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

It would be great if you had:

• Certifications in AWS or Azure, such as AWS Solutions Architect or Azure Administrator.
• Experience with Kubernetes (AKS or EKS) and CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with cloud cost management tools and Zero Trust principles.

If you are interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are exactly what we’re looking for, please do apply, we’d love to hear from you!

Although this role is advertised as full-time, we believe that flexibility at work can promote work/life balance, increase your motivation, reduce stress and improves performance and productivity. We support different ways of working and can offer a range of flexible working arrangements. So, if you’re interested and need to work flexibly, we encourage you to apply and talk to us about what might be possible.
