Lead Infrastructure Engineer required by an innovative and rapidly evolving technology business that delivers critical voice, cloud and connected care solutions across the UK. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Lead Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of complex infrastructure environments and act as a senior escalation point across cloud, SIP and systems operations.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically strong infrastructure professional who enjoys solving high-level technical challenges, mentoring support teams, and driving operational improvements across enterprise-scale environments.

The Role

As the Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining and enhancing critical cloud, network and communication systems. Working closely with internal teams and third-party suppliers, you'll lead complex troubleshooting activities, improve system resilience, and support the evolution of the wider technical operations function.

You'll be involved in:

  • Leading third-line technical escalations across cloud, server and network environments
  • Managing and optimising SIP-based communications platforms
  • Supporting AWS infrastructure and cloud-native services
  • Performing deep root-cause analysis and performance optimisation
  • Troubleshooting complex VoIP, SIP signalling and call quality issues
  • Supporting Linux server environments and infrastructure operations
  • Working within ITIL-driven service management frameworks
  • Mentoring and developing first- and second-line support teams
  • Collaborating with suppliers and vendors to resolve high-priority incidents

Skills & Experience Required

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

  • Strong experience within a senior/third-line infrastructure or systems support role
  • Excellent knowledge of SIP, VoIP and related communication technologies
  • Solid Linux systems administration experience
  • Proven AWS cloud infrastructure expertise
  • Strong networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs and firewalling
  • Experience using diagnostic and packet analysis tools such as Wireshark
  • Scripting or automation exposure using Bash and/or AWS Lambda
  • Experience managing high-severity incidents and technical escalations
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams

Desirable Experience

  • Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS) or SmartTEC environments
  • Node.js troubleshooting or application-level debugging
  • Exposure to Azure or hybrid cloud environments
  • Experience mentoring or leading technical support teams

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be a proactive and technically versatile infrastructure specialist who combines strong operational expertise with excellent stakeholder engagement skills. You'll enjoy taking ownership of problems, driving improvements, and acting as the "go-to" technical expert within a collaborative environment.

Candidates with backgrounds in infrastructure delivery, cloud operations, systems integration, telecommunications, managed services or enterprise support environments are particularly encouraged to apply. The ideal profile aligns closely with individuals experienced in cloud transformation, infrastructure governance, networking, automation and technical leadership.

Please get in touch for more information.

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.
