About Made Tech
At Made Tech, our mission is to positively influence the future of society through innovative technology solutions. We aim to empower the public sector to deliver and continuously improve digital services that are user-centric, data-driven, and free from legacy technology constraints. Our approach emphasizes embracing cloud technology within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment to foster impactful digital transformation.
Within the Cloud & Engineering Practice, our Senior Cloud Engineers play a vital role in assisting public sector organizations to develop digital services that are highly available, reliable, resilient, and secure. These professionals are primarily software engineers with a focus on the deployment and operational aspects of cloud services rather than traditional software development. They are adaptable, comfortable working across various disciplines such as DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and infrastructure architecture, ensuring comprehensive support and delivery of cloud-based solutions.
About The Role
The Senior Cloud Engineer at Made Tech will be instrumental in designing, implementing, and maintaining cloud infrastructure tailored to client needs. This role demands ensuring that cloud environments are secure, scalable, and highly available, aligning with best practices and industry standards. You will serve as a key technical advisor within your team, providing expertise on cloud architecture, deployment, and operational excellence.
Candidates should possess a strong background in software engineering, with an understanding of cloud platforms and emerging technologies. Staying current with industry trends and maintaining a broad technical knowledge across major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is essential. Building credibility through relevant certifications will be encouraged and supported.
This role involves collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams, including product managers, designers, and developers, to deliver high-quality cloud solutions. You will also be responsible for mentoring junior team members, fostering knowledge sharing, and ensuring adherence to best practices in cloud engineering.
