About The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our Tech Operations Engineering team. This pivotal role involves designing, building, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure to ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our services. You will work across teams to develop platform capabilities, enhance operational excellence, and support live services. The ideal candidate will possess a blend of solution architecture expertise, hands-on engineering skills, and the ability to lead technical initiatives from conception through to production deployment. As a senior team member, you will influence technical direction, make critical decisions under pressure, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. We are actively embracing AI technologies and welcome candidates with enthusiasm or experience in this emerging field.
This role offers a hybrid working model, with the office based in London, providing flexibility to balance remote work with on-site collaboration. You will be instrumental in maintaining and evolving our cloud environment, ensuring high standards of security, performance, and operational efficiency.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a degree in Computer Science or a comparable field, coupled with proven experience in a similar cloud engineering role. Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure—preferably in Microsoft Azure—is essential, along with expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), web application security, and distributed systems. Candidates should demonstrate proficiency in build and release pipelines, such as Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and possess excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. Familiarity with live cloud environments, monitoring tools, and incident management processes is crucial. A passion for continuous learning and staying abreast of emerging technologies is highly valued.
