We're looking for a hands-on Cloud Platform Engineer to join a growing technical consultancy delivering secure cloud and infrastructure solutions across customer environments.
This role would suit an experienced Cloud, DevOps, Platform or Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys building and supporting technical environments but also wants greater involvement in solution design, customer engagement and architecture.
You'll work closely with senior consultants, architects and customer teams to build cloud platforms, automate infrastructure and contribute to secure, practical technical solutions.

This is a remote role with some travel for customer and team meetings (approximately once a month).

- Building and configuring cloud infrastructure, with a strong focus on AWS
- Supporting cloud and platform delivery across AWS and potentially Azure
- Working with Linux environments, ideally including Red Hat
- Deploying and supporting OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms
- Automating infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible and related tooling
- Supporting migrations, upgrades, monitoring, resilience and platform improvements
- Troubleshooting cloud, Linux, container and infrastructure issues
- Contributing to high-level and low-level technical designs
- Producing implementation documentation, operational handover material and technical runbooks
- Working directly with customers to understand requirements and resolve technical challenges
- Supporting senior architects and consultants with solution design and technical assurance
- Working across one or two customer projects at a time
