This is not a live vacancy. We are building a talent pipeline ahead of anticipated demand and are keen to connect with strong
Senior and Lead Cloud Platform Engineers for future opportunities.
We are seeking an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer to join our platform engineering team. This is a hands-on role focused on
designing, building, operating, and continuously improving cloud-native platforms that enable development teams to deliver
reliable, scalable, and secure applications.
The successful candidate will combine deep expertise in Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, automation, and DevOps practices with a
strong operational mindset. They will be responsible for maintaining the health and evolution of containerised workloads,
enhancing developer experience, and driving improvements across infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and platform services.
At the Lead level, this role also combines that hands-on expertise with team leadership, stakeholder engagement, and delivery
planning. The right candidate can operate credibly at an engineering level while also communicating clearly with business and
technical stakeholders, translating platform priorities into a coherent roadmap and ensuring the team has the clarity and support
needed to deliver effectively.
This role requires a proactive engineer who can work independently, collaborate effectively across teams, and contribute to the
ongoing maturity of modern cloud platforms.

You will act as a technical expert on projects, building trusted relationships with client stakeholders, establishing engineering best practices, and mentoring engineers within the Cloud capability. Furthermore, you will actively contribute to setting engineering standards that influence the whole CreateFuture organisation. Key Responsibilities TECHNICAL DELIVERY & IMPLEMENTATION * High-Quality Execution: Proactively contribute to project teams by providing technical guidance, resolving complex technical blockages, supporting migration efforts and writing high-quality, spec-driven code. * Platform Engineering: Build and maintain independent, self-service developer platforms that allow engineering teams to spin up compliant, ephemeral environments automatically using GitOps workflows. * AI & Agentic Infrastructure: Implement the data pipelines, workflow orchestrations, and specialised compute footprints needed to support enterprise AI applications, using technologies like AWS Bedrock and AWS AgentCore. * Observability & Reliability: Build robust monitoring and observability pipelines to ensure the health, performance, and security of distributed cloud applications and AI models. * FinOps Standards: Embed automated cost-estimation tools into the standard CI/CD deployment pipelines, ensuring auto-shutdown policies and resource optimisation are configured by default. CONSULTANCY & CLIENT ALIGNMENT * Client Advisory: Collaborate with diverse stakeholders, including tech leads, project managers, and enterprise architects, to ensure successful project delivery according to timelines and budgets. * Commercial Growth: Have a growth mindset on projects, recognising potential operational bottlenecks or new requirements, and own communicating these throughout the team for new opportunities. * Best Practice Champion: Establish best practice tools and processes within client environments, confidently challenging legacy ways of working where appropriate. CAPABILITY & LEADERSHIP SUPPORT * Mentoring: Support and mentor engineers within CreateFuture and our client teams, helping them navigate their learning and technical skill gaps. * Community Contribution: Actively engage in the internal engineering communities, helping to build out an internal repository of reference architectures, Infrastructure as Code templates, and technical blogs. * Culture and Feedback: Help foster an inclusive, collaborative, and psychologically safe team environment by providing timely, open, and honest technical feedback. Skills & Experience * CORE TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES Candidates must demonstrate a hybrid balance across the three strategic pillars: Software Engineering (30%), Infrastructure (40%), and Data Engineering (30%). * Infrastructure & Automation (40%): Lots of experience in writing declarative Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, container orchestration with Kubernetes (managing clusters, nodes, and pods), and building CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions. * Software & Agentic Engineering (30%): Proficiency with modern scripting languages for building custom AI agents, configuring workflow orchestration, connecting enterprise API integrations, and implementing agentic guardrails. * Data Engineering (30%): Practical experience implementing components of data pipelines, including real-time streaming tools (AWS Kinesis, Kafka), data orchestration (dbt, Airflow), and managing Vector Databases for RAG architectures. * Observability & Cost Management: SRE/Platform experience with the practical application of real-time monitoring and cloud cost optimisation using native CSP tools or utilities like Infracost and Karpenter. DOMAIN & SECTOR EXPERIENCE * Regulated Industries: Experience delivering secure platforms within highly regulated environments, such as iGaming, Financial Services, or banking, where Zero Trust security and strict compliance controls are mandatory, is highly advantageous. * Consulting: Proven experience operating in a client-facing or consulting engineering role, demonstrating strong communication skills, relationship-building capabilities, and adaptability across changing technical contexts. PREFERRED KNOWLEDGE-LEVEL & CERTIFICATIONS * Associate-level cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Associate or Azure AZ-104). * At least 1 professional-level certification. * Progressing toward or holding multiple professional certifications such as CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), AWS ML Engineer Associate, or FinOps Certified Practitioner.
