About the role:
This is an opportunity to play a key role in designing, implementing, and evolving enterprise-scale cloud solutions within complex and highly regulated environments.
Working closely with architecture, security, and delivery teams, you’ll help shape scalable cloud platforms and deployment patterns that support critical business services and long-term transformation initiatives. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, giving you the opportunity to influence solution direction while remaining close to delivery.
You’ll contribute across the full delivery lifecycle — from solution design and infrastructure automation through to deployment, testing, and operational readiness — ensuring solutions are secure, resilient, and aligned to organisational standards.
As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you will:
- Design, build, and support enterprise-scale cloud infrastructure and platform solutions.
- Develop scalable and reusable Infrastructure-as-Code solutions using Terraform.
- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines to support efficient and reliable delivery practices.
- Collaborate with architecture and security teams to ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and governance requirements.
- Support cloud environment provisioning, configuration, and deployment activities across multiple initiatives.
- Work closely with technical SMEs, engineers, and delivery teams to ensure successful integration and operational readiness.
- Contribute to solution documentation, technical standards, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Support testing and transition activities, including operational acceptance and production readiness.
- Participate in cross-functional working groups to improve engineering consistency, automation, and delivery outcomes.
- Maintain awareness of evolving cloud technologies, platform capabilities, and industry best practices.
