Cloud Engineer

Working arrangement: Hybrid (1 day onsite)

Duration: 12 Months Min (Long term contract)

We’re hiring a hands-on Platform Owner to take full ownership of platform stability, uptime, governance, and technical execution across an enterprise-scale AWS environment.

• 
  
• Owns platform stability and uptime (not just “keeps the lights on”)
  
• Sets and enforces governance, standards, and execution discipline
  
• Drives delivery across teams: prioritisation, decision-making, unblocking, and follow-through
  
• Improves monitoring, incident response, reliability, and cost optimisation
  
• Challenges assumptions and raises the bar on engineering quality
  

• 
  
• You must have strong, real-world ownership in the following:
  
• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code (deep hands-on capability)
  
• Strong understanding of EKS and/or ECS in production
  
• Proven ability driving technical execution across teams
  
• Clear evidence of platform ownership (not support-only, not advisory-only)
  
• Strong communication and leadership presence — you can influence, align, and challenge
  
• Track record improving stability, monitoring, and cost optimisation
  
• You will have a proven ability to challenge Engineers, drive decisions and own outcomes (end to end)
  
• Proven ability to operate at an enterprise scale.
  

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to be challenged. The project is very complex and will offer long term impact, you will work closely with a talented team and influence senior stakeholders. xcfaprz

• 
  
• Cloud consultants without end-to-end platform ownership
  
• Pure architects without execution / delivery accountability
  
• Pure DevOps implementers (delivery-only, no ownership)
  
• Weak communicators (this role is high-influence)
  
• Remote-only candidates
  

This is not a people-management role — but you will technically lead ~8–10 engineers, drive decisions, and be accountable for outcomes.
