Cloud Operations Engineer

Cloud Operations Engineer (AWS or Azure)

Cheltenham, UK (Hybrid – 3 days in the office)

Permanent

I'm currently working with one of the UK's leading fintech organizations, to recruit an experienced Cloud Operations Engineer to join their growing Cloud Operations team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys operating, supporting and improving cloud environments rather than building cloud platforms from scratch.

Please note: This is not a Platform Engineering or pure DevOps role.

About the Role

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation, stability, security and performance of AWS or azure hosted production environments, working closely with Development, Infrastructure and Security teams to ensure business-critical services remain available and resilient.

This role combines operational support, incident management, infrastructure changes, deployment support and continuous service improvements.

What you'll be doing

• Managing AWS or Azure production and non-production environments
• Supporting infrastructure changes and production deployments
• Troubleshooting production incidents and driving issues through to resolution
• Supporting CI/CD deployment pipelines and release activities
• Monitoring, observability and alerting
• 2nd and 3rd line operational support
• Participating in an on-call rota for critical incidents and scheduled deployments
• Client-facing technical support and communications
• Onboard new clients into cloud environments

This role would suit someone who

• Enjoys owning production environments
• Likes solving operational and infrastructure issues
• Takes responsibility for services from incident through to resolution
• Wants to work in Cloud Operations rather than Platform Engineering
• Enjoys collaborating across Development, Security and Infrastructure teams

What we offers

• Hybrid working (3 days per week in the Cheltenham office)
• Private Medical Insurance

• Enhanced Family-Friendly Policies
• Work Abroad for up to 4 weeks each year
