POSITION SUMMARY

The Cloud Platform Engineer is a highly skilled technical specialist responsible for designing, building and operating secure, scalable and resilient cloud platforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The role focuses on delivering complex technical solutions that enable reliable, cost-effective and well-governed cloud services for the organisation.

Working as a hands-on engineer, the Cloud Platform Engineer designs and implements core platform capabilities such as infrastructure-as-code, automation, monitoring, security controls and CI/CD pipelines. They collaborate closely with solution architects, developers, security specialists and operations teams to ensure that platform services are robust, standards-based and aligned to best practice.

This role provides technical leadership within a defined team, guiding peers on engineering standards, patterns and tooling, and assisting with the resolution of complex incidents and problems. While it does not carry the broad strategic remit of a Lead Engineer, the Cloud Platform Engineer significantly influences engineering quality, platform reliability and the adoption of modern cloud-native practices across their area of responsibility.
