This is a hands-on operations and engineering role focused on reliability, automation, supportability, and continuous improvement across cloud platforms. You'll work closely with infrastructure, platform, and development teams to keep systems stable, secure, and scalable.

We're open to different levels of experience, so whether you're already leading cloud operations or you're looking to step into a more senior role, we'd like to hear from you.

• Improving platform reliability through automation and operational improvements
• Writing scripts and tooling to remove manual processes and improve efficiency
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
• Working with developers and engineering teams to improve platform performance
• Managing IAM, security controls, and cloud governance standards
• Producing operational documentation, runbooks, and technical guides
• Supporting production environments as part of an on-call rota

Senior and lead engineers will also help mentor other team members, review technical approaches, and drive operational best practices across the wider platform team.
