Your future duties and responsibilities
In this role, you will design, automate, and continuously improve cloud platforms across multiple client programmes. You will collaborate with architects, developers, and delivery leaders to ensure platforms are secure, scalable, observable, and aligned with engineering best practice. By taking ownership of infrastructure design, automation frameworks, and governance standards, you will enable faster, safer, and more reliable delivery for mission-critical systems.

You will also play a key role in strengthening engineering capability — guiding teams on Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, containerisation, and security patterns, while contributing to bids and driving platform innovation across engagements. Supported by a strong DevOps and Platform community, you will be empowered to experiment, share knowledge, and elevate standards across the organisation.

Key responsibilities:

Design & Evolve secure, scalable cloud platforms across Azure, AWS, or GCP

Define & Automate Infrastructure as Code standards and reusable modules

Build & Optimise CI/CD pipelines for efficient, secure delivery

Enable & Support containerised workloads and orchestration platforms

Implement & Improve observability, logging, metrics, and alerting standards

Secure & Govern platforms in line with enterprise security frameworks

Troubleshoot & Resolve critical incidents, strengthening resilience and diagnostics

Optimise & Control cloud costs using FinOps principles

Influence & Contribute to bids, technical strategy, and engineering communities


Required qualifications to be successful in this role
You will bring strong hands-on experience designing and operating cloud platforms within complex environments. You combine technical depth with a pragmatic approach to balancing quality, pace, cost, and operational resilience. You are confident engaging with multidisciplinary teams and communicating technical concepts clearly.

You should have:

Proven experience designing and maintaining cloud infrastructure in Azure, AWS, or GCP

Strong expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, ARM/Bicep, or CloudFormation

Experience building and operating modern CI/CD pipelines

Experience supporting containerised workloads and orchestration platforms

Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, and diagnostics practices

Knowledge of secure and resilient infrastructure design aligned to enterprise standards

Experience troubleshooting platform-level incidents and driving recovery

Ability to produce clear documentation and communicate effectively with stakeholders

It would be advantageous to have:

Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud strategies

Experience contributing to technical bids or solution proposals

Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical improvement initiatives

Relevant certifications (AWS, Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes)
