Join an award-winning B2B consultancy at the forefront of enterprise AI, building and owning the cloud-native platform infrastructure that powers production-grade conversational and generative AI products at scale.

The role

This is a platform and infrastructure engineering role - not a data science or ML engineering position. You'll own the runtime, infrastructure, and operational layers that RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration, vector search, and evaluation workflows run on, across AWS and Databricks. The focus is on building scalable, observable, secure, and cost-efficient platform infrastructure that enables AI engineering teams to ship and operate AI products reliably in production.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and operate cloud-native AI platform infrastructure across AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch) and Databricks
  • Deploy and operate containerised services on Kubernetes using Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
  • Own and scale vector search infrastructure (OpenSearch, Algolia, AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases) and embedding pipelines
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for inference services, retrievers, ingestion workflows, and RAG components
  • Implement observability across AI workloads using CloudWatch, MLflow, and OpenTelemetry - covering latency, throughput, cost, and system health
  • Apply secure-by-design principles including IAM, encryption, network controls, and audit logging
  • Work closely with AI engineers to translate prototypes and proof-of-concepts into production-ready, well-architected platform components

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience in platform, infrastructure, or software engineering roles delivering production-grade systems on AWS
  • Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience, specifically with EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and ECS (Elastic Container Service) in production environments
  • Strong Terraform experience for infrastructure-as-code, provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure at scale
  • Experience operating containerised services, managing CI/CD pipelines, and owning observability and reliability
  • Familiarity with vector databases or search infrastructure (OpenSearch, Algolia) is a strong advantage
  • Python proficiency for scripting, automation, and deploying production services
  • Solid grasp of distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, microservices, and API design
  • Ownership mindset - comfortable operating autonomously across reliability, performance, cost, and security

Why join? You'll own the foundational platform infrastructure behind a growing suite of generative AI products, working directly with senior AI and engineering leaders. This is a deep technical ownership role with long-term architectural impact, within an organisation investing heavily in AI at scale.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
