Design, implement and operate cloud infrastructure and platform services using infrastructure as code (IaC) patterns that enforce security and repeatability.
Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines and platform integrations to support rapid, safe software delivery.
Manage containerisation and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes or similar), including deployment patterns, observability, scaling and lifecycle management.
Develop and maintain IaC modules and templates (Terraform, CloudFormation or equivalent) to reduce configuration drift and accelerate provisioning.
Automate operational tasks using scripting and tooling (Python, Go, Bash or similar) to improve reliability and reduce manual intervention.
Implement monitoring, logging and alerting to provide actionable visibility into platform and application health and support incident response playbooks.
Collaborate with security and compliance teams to apply cloud security best practices (IAM, secrets management, network controls) and to support audit requirements.
Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis and drive remediation to prevent recurrence.
Contribute to platform roadmaps, capacity planning and cost optimisation initiatives.
Share knowledge through documentation, runbooks and coaching to uplift team capability and promote operational excellence.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Proven experience (typically 3–7 years) in cloud engineering, platform or operations roles working with AWS, Azure or GCP.
Hands‑on knowledge of IaC tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation and experience authoring reusable modules and templates.
Experience with container technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, including deployment patterns and operational best practices.
Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar) and practices for automated builds, tests and deployments.
Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Go, Bash or similar) and experience building tooling to support platform operations.
Good understanding of cloud security fundamentals: IAM, network segmentation, secrets management and encryption principles.
Experience with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK or similar) and alerting strategies.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to diverse audiences and to produce clear operational documentation.

Competitive base salary with performance-related bonus and incentives linked to technical and delivery outcomes.
Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid options to support a healthy work–life balance.
Supportive and inclusive culture with investment in professional development, training, and mentorship opportunities.
