Cloud Platform Architect – London – £90k–£110k + Benefits
The Opportunity
We are hiring a Cloud Platform Architect to help design and build the cloud platform for a brand-new international iGaming operator as they launch across Europe and beyond.
This is a genuinely rare opportunity to join a well-funded startup where cloud architecture, automation and scalability sit at the heart of the engineering strategy.
You'll take ownership of the company's cloud platform, DevOps tooling and infrastructure automation as the business scales across multiple regulated markets.
Working closely with the CTO and founders, you'll help build a secure, scalable, cloud-native platform capable of supporting millions of daily transactions and high-volume real-time data processing.
This is far more than an operational role. You'll influence cloud architecture, improve automation, optimise infrastructure, shape engineering standards and have genuine ownership over the future platform.
The business is heavily invested in AI, automation and modern engineering practices, with a collaborative culture where engineers are encouraged to influence technical direction from day one.
Technology
You'll work across a modern cloud-native technology stack including:
