This is a Full-time role and Out-of-hours rota is required.

The Role

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will help design, build, and support my client's AWS-based infrastructure. You’ll focus on automation, monitoring, and security in a cloud-first environment, while occasionally supporting hybrid or on-premises systems.

You’ll work closely with other engineers and product teams to ensure platforms are reliable, scalable, and secure. This role is ideal for someone with solid AWS experience who is eager to grow their role and responsibilities, deepen their cloud and DevOps expertise, and contribute to the continuous improvement of my client's infrastructure and practices.

Responsibilities

• Build, configure, and maintain AWS infrastructure and services (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.).

• Automate deployments and infrastructure management with Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation).

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure deployments.

• Monitor and troubleshoot issues across AWS and hybrid environments.

• Support security, patching, and compliance requirements.

• Help document infrastructure designs, processes, and runbooks.

• Participate in a limited on-call rota to meet client and internal SLAs.

• Participate in limited weekend activity for significant deployment events.

• Stay up to date with new AWS services and cloud engineering practices.

Skills and Experience

• Hands-on experience with AWS services (compute, networking, storage, IAM, monitoring).

• Practical knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation).

• Linux server administration experience.

• Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, routing).

• Experience troubleshooting technical issues in a cloud or hybrid environment.

• Interest in automation and a DevOps mindset.

Desirable

• AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect Associate, SysOps Administrator) or working towards one.

• Exposure to containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS).

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (GitLab, Jenkins).

• Experience with monitoring and logging (CloudWatch, OpenSearch, Icinga).

• Database administration (MySQL/MariaDB, RDS, MS SQL).

• Knowledge of messaging/streaming (MSK/Kafka).

• Awareness of cloud security tools and practices (CrowdStrike, WAFs, certificate management)

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.
