The opportunity

Our team consists of around 50 engineers across the UK, India, Poland and China. We are growing our engineering capability in UK and are looking for an experienced Cloud and DevOps engineer to act as an infrastructure expert within one or more engineering pods.

As a Senior Infra Engineer in Cloud & DevOps Engineering, you will contribute to the delivery and evolution of secure, scalable and highly available cloud platforms. You will work closely with application engineers, architecture, cyber security, risk, compliance and technology partners to turn complex requirements into resilient, operable production capabilities.

This is a hands-on engineering role with opportunities to grow through technical depth, ownership and influence. You will provide practical technical input, support colleagues and contribute to delivery across a globally distributed team.

What you'll do

• Contribute to cloud, DevOps and platform-engineering initiatives across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Kubernetes, delivering secure, scalable and highly available capabilities for customer Productivity Suite.
• Work as a Senior Infra Engineer within one or more engineering pods, helping clarify technical requirements and supporting colleagues through hands-on engineering, design reviews and collaborative delivery.
• Build, configure and operate AWS environments and reusable platform capabilities using Infrastructure as Code, primarily Terraform, to enable reliable application deployment and reduce manual effort.
• Evolve the Kubernetes platform to meet growing demand, improving resilience, performance, developer experience and operational efficiency through well-engineered, reusable patterns.
• Establish effective cloud cost management through resource tagging, allocation, rightsizing, capacity planning, scheduling and usage monitoring, creating clear visibility and accountability for platform and application teams.
• Enable the responsible adoption of open-source technologies and LLM solutions, assessing performance, cost, scalability, security, licensing, data privacy, resilience and regulatory requirements.
• Apply disciplined release and production-readiness practices, including automation, validation, deployment governance, rollback controls, monitoring, alerting, logging, capacity management and incident preparedness.
• Work across Cloud Services, Application DevOps, Architecture, Security, Risk, Compliance and global or local IT teams to ensure engineering standards, remediation actions and delivery commitments are met.

What you will need to succeed in the role

• Strong hands-on experience in cloud engineering, platform engineering or DevOps, including designing, building, testing, deploying, monitoring and operating production platforms in a large, complex environment.
• Practical knowledge of Kubernetes and AWS cloud services, including designing and supporting solutions for availability, resilience, security, scalability and effective day-two operations.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and modern delivery practices, including Terraform, continuous integration and delivery, automated testing and controlled production releases.
• Working knowledge of relevant technologies such as Docker, Helm, service mesh technologies, Python, monitoring, logging, alerting and cloud-native deployment tooling.
• Experience managing cloud migration and operational-readiness challenges, including governance, security, capacity, resilience, compliance and production support.
• A strong understanding of cloud cost optimisation, resource governance and financial accountability, with the ability to translate usage data into practical improvements.
• Sound judgement on security standards, architecture governance, compliance controls, remediation management and the responsible use of open-source and artificial intelligence technologies.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to contribute to technical discussions, explain complex information clearly and deliver work using Agile, Scrum and DevOps methods.
