About the Role
We are looking for a skilled AWS Cloud & Python Engineer to join our team, bridging the gap between application development and cloud infrastructure.

Working closely with our existing cloud engineers, you will focus on building, modernising, and deploying scalable data processing applications. The ideal candidate thrives on end-to-end ownership, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to deploy cost-effective, high-performance AWS architectures that handle large-scale data efficiently.
If you’re passionate about solving complex problems and eager to leverage the latest AWS technologies, we’d love to hear from you!
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
Location: This role offers the flexibility to be performed either remotely or on a hybrid basis from our Head Office in Exeter. For candidates who are not based locally to Exeter, we are ideally seeking attendance at the office every two to three weeks to support team meetings, collaboration and relationship building. Ideally, this would involve two days in the office during each visit.
