Cloud Platform Engineer - #2190953

We're working with an ambitious and growing technology business that develops innovative SaaS products and data solutions used by organisations across a variety of sectors. As they continue to invest in their cloud capability, they are looking to appoint a Cloud & Platform Engineer to help shape, support and evolve the AWS infrastructure that underpins their products.

This is an opportunity to join a small, highly skilled team where your work will have genuine visibility and impact. Rather than being a small part of a large infrastructure function, you'll play a hands-on role in designing, improving and operating cloud environments, working closely with developers, consultants and product specialists to deliver secure, scalable and reliable solutions.

You'll be trusted with real responsibility from day one, contributing to infrastructure automation, cloud optimisation, platform reliability and continuous delivery initiatives. The environment encourages curiosity, experimentation and continuous improvement, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, learning new technologies and influencing technical direction.

If you enjoy working in modern AWS environments, value collaboration, and want to help build and improve platforms that support real business outcomes, this could be the perfect next step.
