Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Cloud Platform Engineer role at Human-CR, S.L.

Salary: Up to £90,000 base + excellent bonus + comprehensive benefits

Location: Manchester (Hybrid 1 day per week on site)

Project: Build Something That Matters. Greenfield. £30 Million Programme. Enterprise Scale.

We are working with a world-class SaaS organisation embarking on a truly monumental £30 million greenfield transformation programme across the UK and Europe. This is an opportunity to join at the very start building, shaping, and scaling a next-generation public cloud platform that will underpin the future of the business.

As Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering secure, scalable, high-performance cloud infrastructure using AWS. You'll help architect and implement best-in-class platform solutions while championing automation, cost optimisation, and resilience.

This isn't about maintaining what's already there. It's about standing up something new—something built to last.

What makes this different?

• A greenfield platform with zero legacy to untangle—true freedom to do things right.
• Working in a collaborative, high-performing engineering team where your ideas will shape the direction of the platform.
• Backed by significant investment, with full buy-in from leadership.
• Access to modern tooling and technologies from day one.
• Hybrid working with a Manchester hub (just one day a week on-site).

You’ll bring:

• Deep hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, VPC, etc.).
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform ideally).
• Experience building secure, automated, resilient cloud platforms at scale.
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, Linux systems, and container technologies.
• A mindset of continuous improvement and a passion for doing things the right way.
• Strong collaboration skills—able to work closely with architects, developers, and product teams.

Desirable:

• AWS certifications.
• Experience in environments where performance, scale, and uptime matter.
• Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and cost optimisation tools.

This is a rare chance to be part of something at the ground floor, delivering real engineering impact from day one within a business that is investing heavily in its platform, people, and product.
