“Life as a Cloud Engineer is an exceptionally rewarding role where no two days are truly the same. You can be troubleshooting some Python code in a Lambda function, designing complex solutions, presenting to the customer and building that same solution using Infrastructure as Code and Dev Ops tooling. This variety helps the role feel ‘fresh’ and I always finish each day feeling like I’ve learnt something new!”
