Head of Cloud Platform

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and hands-on Mid-Level Cloud Platform Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be a key contributor in building, scaling, and maintaining our cloud-native infrastructure from the ground up. You will report directly to the Head of Cloud Platform and be instrumental in creating a robust, secure, and highly automated AWS environment that empowers our software development and data science teams.

This is a contract position ideal for a pragmatic engineer with 5-6 years of experience, who thrives in a startup-like atmosphere and is accustomed to end-to-end ownership of the cloud platform. If you are a problem-solver who can "hold the fort" and drive initiatives independently, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture:

Design, implement, and manage a secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure on AWS to support development, staging, and production environments. Apply strong architectural design principles to build resilient systems that meet business requirements for performance, reliability, and security. Take ownership of the entire cloud lifecycle, from conceptualization and design to deployment, monitoring, and optimization (A-Z ownership).

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation:

Develop, maintain, and modularize infrastructure using

Terraform

as the primary IaC tool. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code to ensure repeatable and reliable deployments. Automate operational tasks, security controls, and cost-optimization checks to reduce manual toil.

Platform Enablement & Developer Experience:

Develop and maintain a self-service internal developer platform (IDP) with appropriate governance guardrails, enabling product teams to develop and deploy quickly and safely. Collaborate closely with software developers and data scientists, treating them as customers and ensuring the platform meets their needs for agility and performance. Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for platforms, tools, and processes.

Operational Excellence & Observability:

Implement and manage comprehensive observability solutions, including monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting to provide real-time insights into the health of our cloud environments. Proactively identify and resolve issues to maintain high availability and performance, especially for production systems where downtime has a material business impact. Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, demonstrating a calm and systematic approach to problem-solving under pressure.

Security & Cost Optimization:

Embed cloud-native cybersecurity best practices into every layer of the infrastructure. Continuously monitor and optimize cloud spending without compromising on performance or security.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Haves:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

5-6 years of hands-on experience

in the software industry, with a proven track record of building and managing cloud infrastructure on

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

.

High proficiency with Terraform

for managing infrastructure as code in a production environment. Demonstrated experience in a startup or similar fast-paced environment where you were responsible for end-to-end (A-Z) tasks, from architectural design to implementation and ongoing maintenance. Strong understanding of cloud architecture principles, networking, and security. Proven ability to work autonomously, manage priorities, and own deliverables with minimal supervision. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a structured approach to complex challenges.

Nice-to-Haves:

Experience with Microsoft Azure or other cloud providers. Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/EKS). Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions). Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash). Experience in managing infrastructure for data science/AI workloads.

What We Offer

The opportunity to build and shape a cloud platform from its early stages. A culture that values automation, engineering excellence, and innovation. Direct collaboration with senior leadership and cross-functional teams. A challenging and rewarding environment where your work has a direct and visible impact on the business.
