AWS Cloud Technical Lead - AWS Adoption/Onboarding - Engineering/Architecture - Financial Services

London - Hybrid working *** 3 days office

Leading financial services client is seeking an AWS Cloud Technical Lead to join their team in London. The Cloud Team sits within Digital Engineering Services, and you will be working within a small, highly skilled engineering team responsible for designing, delivering, and supporting the organisation's public cloud platforms. AWS is being onboarded as a strategic platform, and this role will play a critical part in shaping and leading its adoption across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of cloud solutions on AWS as the platform is onboarded, ensuring alignment with their security, compliance, and architectural standards.
  • Collaborate closely with application, security, and infrastructure teams to deliver secure, scalable, resilient cloud solutions for business applications and services.
  • Drive improvements in platform stability, security, automation, and cost efficiency, working alongside other cloud team members to establish best practices and reusable patterns.
  • Produce clear and robust architectural designs based on business and technical requirements and contribute to the development of AWS governance frameworks and landing zone patterns.
  • Act as a technical point of escalation for AWS-related issues, guiding engineering peers and promoting high standards of cloud engineering across the organisation.
  • Support AWS onboarding activities, including service enablement, landing zone configuration, guardrail implementation, and integration with enterprise tooling.

Skills and experience required:

  • Real world experience designing, implementing, and supporting AWS services in production environments.
  • Practical experience with Git-based workflows, including branching strategies, pull requests, and CI/CD integration.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code, using CloudFormation and/or Terraform to create repeatable, governed cloud patterns.
  • Ability to design scalable, reliable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures, following AWS best practices and Well Architected principles.
  • Strong understanding of IAM and security best practices, including least privilege, identity patterns, network segmentation, and governance controls.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex cloud issues across networking, compute, identity, and automation layers.
  • Scripting experience (Python) for automation, tooling, and integrations.

Desirable

  • Azure engineering experience, including ARM/Bicep templates and Azure platform services.
  • Experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and its core services.
  • Ability to produce architectural design documentation, such as solution diagrams, sequence flows, and patterns that align with enterprise governance.

If this is of interest and you have the required skills, please submit your CV over for immediate consideration.

McGregor Boyall is an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on any grounds.

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.
