About the Role

We’re modernising with cloud – creating a platform that’s quick, secure and resilient for customers, and easy, modern and sustainable for developers. Our core technology focus is on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

As a Public Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll design, build and operate secure, automated cloud platform capabilities that enable product teams to deliver API-first services at pace and with confidence. You’ll balance deep technical work with coaching others to raise the bar on reliability, security and simplicity.

You’ll also take part in an on-call rotation.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build and operate platform capabilities using Infrastructure-as-Code and modern CI/CD.
  • Partner with architecture and feature teams to evolve our cloud roadmap and platform products.
  • Embed a secure-by-design mindset and controls from design to runtime, safeguarding colleagues and customers.
  • Define and operate against SLOs/SLIs; implement actionable observability, performance tuning and automation to reduce toil.
  • Enable API-first delivery with reusable patterns and golden paths for API producers/consumers; contribute to documentation and enablement.
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to communities of practice, upholding Platform Engineering standards expected at Band E.

Core Skills

  • Proven experience delivering large-scale systems with performance, availability and fault-tolerance; experience setting SLOs/SLIs.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform (minimum) and one or more modern CI/CD systems (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Harness, Jenkins or Spinnaker).
  • Containers & orchestration (Kubernetes) and service-mesh patterns (e.g., Istio).
  • API design and security (REST/OpenAPI, authN/Z, mTLS and certificate lifecycle).
  • Scripting in Bash, PowerShell or Python.

Depth in one cloud (and readiness to cross-train):

  • Azure: ARM/Bicep/Template Spec, AKS, Application Gateway, API Management (policies/C# basics), Azure Storage.
  • GCP: GKE, Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud Armor, Istio, Cloud Monitoring/Stackdriver, Jenkins, Apigee (nice to have).

Desirable:

  • Harness experience in CI/CD, HashiCorp Vault, Dynatrace, Docker/buildah, NodeJS for API tooling, relevant Azure or GCP certifications.

About You

  • Delivered hybrid-cloud, automated platforms in agile teams; collaborate across architecture and business stakeholders.
  • Technology-agnostic mindset; choose the best tool for the job and stay curious.
  • Enjoy mentoring and raising the engineering bar as a hands-on player-coach.

What You’ll Get in Return

We’ll give you a competitive package that includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%.
  • Annual performance-related bonus.
  • 30 days holiday plus bank holidays.
  • Flexible benefits including discounted products and services.
  • Share schemes and access to wellbeing support.
