m working with a leading technology organisation that’s looking for an experienced Senior Cloud Platform Engineer to support the delivery of modern, scalable infrastructure for enterprise clients.
This is a hands-on contract role, suited to someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and takes real ownership of design, build, and delivery. You’ll be working with a forward-thinking engineering team where Kubernetes, Infrastructure-as-Code, and automation drive everything they do.
The focus here is technical delivery and engineering excellence — not management.
Key Responsibilities
Architect, build, and maintain cloud-native platforms on AWS or Azure, leveraging Kubernetes (EKS/AKS) for container orchestration.
*
Automate infrastructure and deployments using Terraform, Helm, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
*
Lead technical delivery across multiple customer projects, from design through to go-live.
*
Migrate legacy services into microservices-based, resilient environments with observability and scalability in mind.
*
Implement GitOps workflows (Argo CD, Flux) to ensure consistency and traceability.
*
Produce high-quality documentation, templates, and reusable IaC modules to accelerate delivery.
*
Provide technical guidance across teams, setting standards and improving engineering practices.

*
Proven experience delivering cloud and microservices platforms in enterprise environments.
*
Hands-on Kubernetes (EKS/AKS) deployment and management experience.
*
Strong AWS or Azure engineering background, with expert-level Terraform / IaC skills.

Linux administration and scripting (Bash, PowerShell, or Python).
*
GitOps experience (Argo CD, Flux) and CI/CD automation.
*
Solid background in customer-facing project delivery with clear communication skills.
*
Track record of taking services from concept through to production go-live.
