The Senior Cloud and Infrastructure Engineer are responsible for leading the transformation of the infrastructure function into a modern Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team. Working with the SRE Lead and VP of Information Security, this role plays a central part in shaping how the organisation builds, runs, and secures the cloud infrastructure that underpins every Causeway product.

As a senior member of the team, the role holder owns the organisation's most complex infrastructure challenges and acts as a technical leader — setting standards, mentoring engineers, and ensuring every Causeway product runs on infrastructure that is secure, resilient, and aligned to recognised frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, and Cyber Essentials Plus. The role works in close partnership with Dev Ops and Engineering to identify and bridge skills gaps across the function, with a particular focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
