Cloud Engineer

Cloud Engineer

At Yunex Traffic, we launch cities into the future with forward‑looking infrastructure and transport solutions, making mobility safer, more efficient and more sustainable for all.

This role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship.

We empower our people to transform cities all over the world, welcoming diverse talent and encouraging flexibility and workplace adjustments.

Do you enjoy getting to the bottom of tricky issues, making sense of data, and keeping cloud‑hosted services running smoothly? If you like a role that mixes hands‑on problem‑solving with real‑world impact, this could be a great fit.

We are seeking a Cloud Engineer to join our Operations team, supporting the cloud, data and backend systems that underpin a range of Yunex Traffic products. You’ll work closely with Infrastructure Support, Application Support and Development teams to keep services reliable, secure and well‑run – with a strong focus on SQL‑backed platforms and the data that drives them.

This role suits someone who enjoys variety: cloud operations, troubleshooting, and digging into SQL/data issues to find the real root cause. We’re looking for an inquisitive mindset, solid fundamentals, and a drive to learn and improve.

• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and application incidents, working through symptoms to root cause.
• Carry out day‑to‑day operational tasks such as updates, configuration changes, health checks and environment verification (including database/service checks where relevant).
• Support and maintain AWS services used across our operational platforms (e.g. EC2, VPC, ECS/EKS, RDS, MSK, Cloud Formation, Cloud Watch).

• Maintain and improve monitoring and alerting so services stay healthy, performant and supportable.
• Work within established incident and problem management processes, keeping notes clear and producing concise operational updates.
• Investigate SQL/database issues in live environments – performance, failed jobs, data integrity and access – and work with engineers to agree safe fixes.
• Support deployment activities (including database changes where applicable) and work with developers to ensure smooth releases to test and production environments.

• Work with Application Support, Development, and QA teams to understand how systems operate end‑to‑end.
• Provide clear and effective communication during incidents and investigations.
• Contribute to technical discussions and help design and implement agreed solutions.
• Suggest improvements, automate repeatable tasks, and improve observability so we spot issues sooner.

• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, maintainability, testability and efficiency – from cloud configuration through to SQL/database performance.
• Keep documentation up to date: diagrams, operational procedures, runbooks and SQL/data support notes that help others move faster.
• Assist with automation using scripting or infrastructure‑as‑code, including repeatable operational checks and data maintenance tasks where appropriate.

• Support patching cycles, vulnerability reviews, and security investigations.
• Assist with DR testing, backups, and operational readiness activities.
• Follow internal policies and contribute to compliance requirements as needed.

• Support customer queries and internal reviews relating to infrastructure or application behaviour.
• Provide clear, customer‑focused communication when assisting with escalations or investigations.

• Hands‑on experience supporting production systems, with a good grounding in SQL and database‑backed applications.
• Working knowledge of core AWS services (e.g., EC2, VPC, ECS/EKS, RDS, Cloud Formation, Cloud Watch) and how they fit together in real environments.
• Good understanding of Linux and/or Windows Server administration (including services that support databases and backend applications).
• Database experience (SQL Server and/or MySQL): performance troubleshooting, query plans/index basics, scheduled jobs, backups/restore…
