We are looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer to join a technology team working on the development, modernisation and improvement of cloud platforms and services.

  • Azure DevOps, GitHub or similar CI/CD tooling

  • Cloud infrastructure and platform engineering

  • Cloud networking and security

  • Identity and access management

  • PowerShell, Python or similar scripting

  • Cloud governance, monitoring and platform standards

Knowledge of AWS and Linux would also be beneficial.

This is a hands-on engineering role, ideal for someone who enjoys building, automating and improving cloud platforms rather than simply maintaining existing infrastructure.
