We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cloud Engineering Consultant to join our dynamic and growing team.

Role Description

In this client-facing role, you will be instrumental in designing, building, and maintaining robust and scalable cloud infrastructure for a diverse range of clients across the UK and EMEA. Your work will form the foundation of our customer’s  Data Platform and AI solutions, directly contributing to our clients' success.

  • Key Responsibilities

    • Consulting & Solution Design: Collaborate closely with client stakeholders to understand their business objectives and technical requirements, providing expert advice and designing best-practice cloud solutions on AWS or Azure.

    • Infrastructure Build & Deployment: Lead the hands-on implementation and deployment of cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles with tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

    • Data Platform Enablement: Architect and build the foundational cloud services required to support modern data platforms, including data lakes, data warehouses, and machine learning environments.

    • Automation & CI/CD: Develop and manage CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment, testing, and integration of infrastructure and applications.

    • Managed Services & Support: Provide ongoing operational support and maintenance for client cloud environments as part of our managed services offering, ensuring reliability, security, and performance.

    • Knowledge of containerisation technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS).

    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to engage with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    • A consultative mindset with strong problem-solving and analytical skills and ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
