Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Operations & Infrastructure Support

  • Operate, maintain and support workloads and infrastructure running on across AWS, Azure and/or GCP, ensuring availability, performance and resilience targets are met.
  • Provision and manage cloud resources through Cloud Service Provider (CSP) accounts, using the platform's automated account-vending and self-service capabilities.
  • Perform routine operational tasks: patching, backup and restore, capacity management, certificate and secrets rotation, and configuration management.
  • Support landing-zone and network configuration (segmentation, connectivity, DNS, load balancing) in line with platform standards.
  • Maintain operational runbooks, standard operating procedures and configuration documentation.

Monitoring, Incident & Problem Management

  • Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting and observability across infrastructure and applications using cloud-native and platform tooling.
  • Respond to incidents and service requests within agreed SLAs; perform triage, diagnosis, escalation and resolution, including participation in an on-call roster.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis and drive problem management to prevent recurrence; contribute to post-incident reviews.
  • Support disaster-recovery planning, backup verification and recovery exercises (RPO/RTO objectives).

Automation & Infrastructure as Code

  • Build, maintain and version infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g. Terraform) and configuration-management tooling.
  • Develop automation scripts and pipelines to reduce manual effort, standardise deployments and improve consistency.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices, integrating with tools such as SHIP-HATS where applicable.

Security, Compliance & Governance

  • Ensure all cloud activities comply with IM8, security policies and guardrails, including hardened baselines and CIS-aligned configurations.
  • Support Policy-as-Code controls for continuous security compliance, remediating drift and non-compliant resources.
  • Manage identity and access in line with least-privilege principles, using platform single-sign-on and approved access paths.
  • Support audit, vulnerability management and remediation activities, and maintain evidence for security reviews.

Cost Management & Optimisation

  • Monitor cloud consumption and support cost-optimisation initiatives (right-sizing, scheduling, reserved/committed-use planning, eliminating waste).
  • Provide usage and cost reporting and recommendations to agencies and stakeholders.
  • Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Work with application teams, agency stakeholders, security teams and the cloud platform team to onboard, migrate and support workloads.
  • Provide technical guidance and knowledge transfer to agency users and junior engineers.
  • Contribute to service-improvement initiatives and operational maturity.

Required Qualifications & Experience

  • Typically, 3–6 years of hands-on experience in cloud engineering, cloud operations, infrastructure or DevOps
  • Demonstrable production experience operating workloads on at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP); multi-cloud exposure is an advantage.
  • Prior exposure to managed cloud landing-zone platforms is strongly preferred.

Technical Skills & Competencies

  • Cloud platforms: Compute, storage, networking, IAM, databases and serverless services on AWS, Azure and/or GCP.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (preferred); familiarity with CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep or Deployment Manager.
  • Automation & scripting: Python, Bash, PowerShell or equivalent.
  • Containers & orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) is an advantage.
  • CI/CD & DevSecOps: Git-based pipelines, automated testing and deployment;
  • Monitoring & observability: CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Cloud Operations Suite, or tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and the ELK stack.
  • Security & compliance: Cloud security baselines, IAM, encryption, network security, vulnerability management and Policy-as-Code concepts.
  • Networking: VPC/VNet design, subnets, routing, firewalls, VPN, DNS and load balancing.
  • Operations frameworks: ITIL-aligned incident, problem and change management; SRE practices.

Certifications (Preferred)

  • Associate- or Professional-level cloud certification, e.g. AWS Solutions Architect / SysOps Administrator, Microsoft Azure Administrator / Azure Solutions Architect, or Google Associate Cloud Engineer / Professional Cloud Architect.
  • HashiCorp Terraform Associate; Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA); or relevant security certifications are advantageous.
