Senior Cloud Platform Engineer
Up to £90,000 base + excellent bonus + comprehensive benefits
Manchester (Hybrid – 1 day per week on site)
Build Something That Matters. Greenfield. £30 Million Programme. Enterprise Scale.
We are working with a world-class SaaS organisation embarking on a truly monumental £30 million greenfield transformation programme across the UK and Europe. This is an opportunity to join at the very start – building, shaping, and scaling a next-generation public cloud platform that will underpin the future of the business.
As Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering secure, scalable, high-performance cloud infrastructure using AWS. You’ll help architect and implement best-in-class platform solutions while championing automation, cost optimisation, and resilience.
This isn’t about maintaining what’s already there. It’s about standing up something new – something built to last.
What makes this different?
1. A greenfield platform with zero legacy to untangle – true freedom to do things right
2. Working in a collaborative, high-performing engineering team where your ideas will shape the direction of the platform
3. Backed by significant investment, with full buy-in from leadership
4. Access to modern tooling and technologies from day one
5. Hybrid working with a Manchester hub (just one day a week on-site)
You’ll bring:
1. Deep hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, VPC, etc.)
2. Strong infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform ideally)
3. Experience building secure, automated, resilient cloud platforms at scale
4. Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, Linux systems, and container technologies
5. A mindset of continuous improvement, and a passion for doing things the right way
6. Strong collaboration skills – able to work closely with architects, developers, and product teams
Desirable:
1. AWS certifications
2. Experience in environments where performance, scale, and uptime matter
3. Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and cost optimisation tools
This is a rare chance to be part of something at the ground floor, delivering real engineering impact from day one – within a business that is investing heavily in its platform, people, and product.
