Cloud Engineer

I'm working with a global information and analytics business in the Financial Services space that is investing heavily in modernising its technology estate and cloud platform capabilities. Whilst they have an existing platform team, this will be the first UK based platform engineer.

They're looking for a Platform Engineer to join a growing team that sits at the heart of product engineering, data and cloud infrastructure. This is a broad role with plenty of ownership, supporting engineering teams across a modern AWS environment while helping shape platform standards, automation, observability and governance.

• Primarily AWS, some Azure
• Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
• CI/CD and automation Platform Engineering / SRE practices
• Cloud networking and architecture
• Observability, monitoring and security improvements
• Data platform initiatives, including exposure to Databricks, and work with Claude Code

They're not looking for someone who has every technology under the sun. What's more important is someone who is curious, self-sufficient, and enjoys solving problems.

• Newly created permanent position
• Genuine influence over tooling, standards and platform direction
• Broad exposure across cloud, data and engineering
• Small, highly autonomous team with very little red tape
• Opportunity to work with emerging AI-assisted development practices
