Cloud Platform Engineer

Overview

We are looking to hire a Cloud Platform Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team supporting a large-scale, internal-developed platform used by hundreds of engineers. This role brings together software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience, and plays a key part in a long-term cloud modernisation and platform-enablement initiative.

This position is ideal for someone who began their career as a backend/software engineer and has since moved into DevOps, cloud, or platform engineering—bringing a strong emphasis on enabling engineers, not simply operating infrastructure.

About the Role

As a Cloud Platform Engineer, you will work closely with application teams and serve as a force multiplier for engineering productivity. Your goal is to design and deliver shared platforms, deployment patterns, and automation that help engineers focus on delivering business outcomes rather than dealing with infrastructure constraints, environment setup, or release processes.

You’ll apply strong software engineering fundamentals alongside hands-on cloud and DevOps experience to create opinionated yet flexible platforms. In this role, success is measured by how much faster other engineers can move, how safely they can deploy, and how confidently they can troubleshoot production issues—without requiring deep platform knowledge themselves.

This is not a traditional operations or support role. You are expected to think in systems, improve developer workflows end-to-end, and continuously raise the standard for how software is built and run across the organisation.

What You'll Do

• Build, operate, and improve an internal AWS-based cloud platform used across multiple engineering teams
• Collaborate closely with backend and application engineers to understand workflows and remove friction from development and deployment
• Design, deploy, and manage AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform primarily)
• Work hands-on with containerised platforms using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and Helm
• Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar)
• Deliver observability across the platform using tools such as CloudWatch, Datadog, and/or Splunk
• Enable platform scalability, reliability, and performance; troubleshoot complex cloud and pipeline issues
• Support cloud migration initiatives and drive adoption of platform standards and best practices

Must‑Have Experience

• Strong software engineering foundation (5 to 8 years) using languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or .NET
• 2 to 4 years of hands-on AWS experience, ideally working with services such as EKS, EC2, IAM, S3, VPC, Lambda
• Hands-on experience with:

o   Docker & Kubernetes

o   Terraform or CloudFormation

• CI/CD experience with modern tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
• Working knowledge of logging, monitoring, and observability in cloud environments
• Ability to collaborate across teams and clearly explain platform decisions to non-platform engineers

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
