Infrastructure / Platform Engineer
London or Cambridge
Hybrid Working – 3 Days Per Week Onsite

An established and rapidly growing AI software company is expanding its Platform Engineering team and seeking experienced Infrastructure or DevOps Engineers to help shape and evolve a production-grade Kubernetes environment.

This opportunity is suited to engineers who enjoy building and improving systems from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing enterprise platforms.

The business has successfully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS EKS and is now focused on scaling, refining and strengthening its cloud infrastructure. They are looking for mid-level and senior engineers who can bring hands-on depth, strong architectural understanding and experience operating in fast-paced product environments.

The Role

  • Design, build and evolve AWS cloud infrastructure

  • Work extensively with Kubernetes and AWS EKS

  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform

  • Contribute to CI/CD and GitOps workflows

  • Improve multi-tenant platform architecture

  • Enhance scalability, reliability and automation

  • Solve complex production challenges in a SaaS environment

    What We Are Looking For

  • Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience

  • AWS production experience, ideally EKS

  • Solid Infrastructure as Code expertise, Terraform preferred

  • Experience building or significantly evolving cloud platforms

  • Comfortable working in dynamic, high-growth or product-led environments

  • Engineers who understand infrastructure at a systems level, not just through pre-built pipelines

    This position is open to both strong mid-level engineers and senior engineers. Senior candidates will have the opportunity to influence platform direction and mentor others. Mid-level candidates should demonstrate genuine ownership and depth of hands-on experience.

    Location

    The role can be based in either London or Cambridge.
    The team operates a hybrid model with three days per week onsite.

    If you are looking for an opportunity to work on a technically ambitious platform where you can have real impact, we would welcome your application

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
