Build the foundations that everything else runs on

Why this role exists

We are growing our cloud platform and need a skilled Cloud Engineer to help us design, build and protect the core infrastructure that our digital services rely on. This role exists to ensure our cloud environment is resilient, secure and ready to scale as our business grows locally and internationally. 

What you’ll do

  • Design and build reliable cloud infrastructure that teams across the business depend on 
  • Maintain and improve our cloud networking, security and connectivity 
  • Support major initiatives by providing deep technical guidance and hands-on delivery 
  • Identify risks early and put practical solutions in place before they impact our clients 
  • Work closely with engineers and architects to enable safe, efficient delivery 
  • Continuously improve how we build and manage cloud environments 

The team you’ll be part of

You’ll join our Cloud Core Engineering team, a specialist group of around eight engineers who look after the base cloud infrastructure used across the organisation. We create the foundations that allow product and engineering teams to build and move fast, safely. Our work underpins critical systems used by millions of clients every day. 

Why this role is different

  • We work on foundational platforms, not isolated projects 

  • Our decisions influence how teams across the business build and scale 

  • You’ll get exposure to complex, enterprise-scale cloud environments 

  • We value thoughtful engineering, collaboration and long-term thinking 

  • We support continuous learning as cloud technology evolves 

What we’re looking for

  • Solid experience working with cloud platforms, particularly AWS 
  • Strong networking knowledge across cloud and traditional environments 
  • Experience designing secure, scalable infrastructure 
  • Familiarity with automation, pipelines and modern delivery practices 
  • The ability to work well in a team and also take ownership of your own work 
  • A curious mindset and willingness to keep learning as technology changes 
  • Relevant cloud or networking certifications are an advantage 

Ready to build what matters?

If you want to work on cloud infrastructure that supports real impact at scale, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help us build platforms that others can rely on.
