Research shows that underrepresented groups tend to only apply for roles that they believe they meet 100% of the criteria for. At Waracle, we want to buck that trend! We hire for passion, potential, and mindset as much as credentials. If you think you'd be incredible in the role, then apply - even if you don't think you tick every box.

What you'll bring

• A versatile, generalist engineering background with broad knowledge across cloud platforms, CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Practical exposure to or enthusiasm for integrating Generative AI, AI-assisted development tools, or modern MLOps pipelines into delivery streams.
• Proven experience guiding technical direction and architecture for cloud and platform solutions.
• A passion for mentorship, coaching, and creating supportive pathways for engineers at all career stages.
• Commitment to fostering inclusive, collaborative team dynamics that prioritise wellbeing alongside quality outcomes.
• Strong understanding of security, accessibility, and compliance standards (OWASP, GDPR, SOC2) in modern cloud architectures.
• Excellent communication skills with an aptitude for breaking down complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders.
• Familiarity with tracking key engineering metrics (such as DORA) to guide continuous, data-informed improvement.
