Job description

Job Summary

It’s fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they’re doing! We’re committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business. We are seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer/Architect to design, implement and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud solutions. This role is pivotal in ensuring operational excellence through formal, documented handovers and driving adoption of modern cloud technologies.

Organisational Impact

Your work will have a significant impact on customer satisfaction, cost baselines, and overall profitability. By delivering robust architectures and clear operational frameworks, you will enable the organisation to scale confidently while maintaining reliability and compliance.

Technical Expertise

The ideal candidate will demonstrate recent, hands‑on experience with leading public cloud platforms, mainly Amazon Web Services, with a strong command of container orchestration technologies like AmazonEKS, Google Kubernetes Engine, Tanzu Kubernetes, and RedHat OpenShift. Proficiency with infrastructureascode (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines (JenkinsCI), and related DevOps tools (Artifactory, HashiCorpVault, Git) is essential. Familiarity with monitoring solutions (Prometheus), database platforms (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra), and collaboration tools (Atlassian stack) is highly valued. While not required, exposure to private cloud and on‑premises technologies – such as VMware, virtualization, server, storage and networking infrastructure, Linux‑based virtual servers, VMwareESXi hosts, disaster recovery using infrastructure-as-code, and hybrid environments including vSphere, OpenShift, and DataStax Cassandra migration – will be considered an advantage.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineer and enforce multi‑account security boundaries using AWS Organizations, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and complex IAM permission boundaries.
• Architect high‑availability hybrid network topologies integrating AWS Direct Connect and Site‑to‑Site VPNs, with advanced Transit Gateway routing and VPC traffic engineering.
• Develop and maintain sophisticated Infrastructure as Code libraries using Terraform, including reusable, versioned custom modules and complex state file management.
• Develop operational runbooks and monitoring frameworks for seamless handover.
• Define and agree on SLOs and SLAs with stakeholders.
• Identify and document risks and technical debt.
• Ensure clear ownership transfer to operations teams post‑handover.
• Collaborate with product, platform, and security teams to align with mature DevOps and SRE models.

Advanced Skills & Differentiators

• Develop infrastructure automation and glue code using Python or Bash.
• Manage production‑grade AmazonEKS environments, including worker node configuration, control plane upgrades, and VPC networking integration.
• Demonstrate operational experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for multi‑cloud redundancy and networking but also workload migrations.
• Maintain hybrid infrastructure environments, combining VMware vSphere operational knowledge with RedHat OpenShift on bare metal.
• Experience with Helm for Kubernetes deployments is a plus.

Professional Attributes

• Strong security mindset and commitment to compliance.
• Highly reliable, with a focus on accountability and ownership.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Collaborative approach with cross‑functional teams.
• Focus on continuous process improvement and optimizing personal workflows.
• General technical curiosity and the ability to independently research and source information.
• Active maintenance of personal engineering projects or home labs is considered an advantage.

Career Development

Progression to more senior roles is possible over time and based on demonstrated results and consistent delivery of high‑impact outcomes. This includes opportunities to influence enterprise‑wide cloud adoption and standards once you have proven technical leadership and operational excellence.
