Central London (2-3 days in-office)

£65,000 - £75,000 + 10% bonus

This is a chance to join a small, high-impact Cloud Infrastructure team inside a fast-growing, tech-first financial services organisation. You'll be responsible for running, scaling and improving the cloud platforms that power real, customer-facing products used by hundreds of thousands of people every day.

What you'll be working on:

• AWS-based environments supporting mission-critical, customer-facing applications
• Kubernetes (EKS) clusters in production
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
• Highly available, scalable platforms used for current accounts and investment products
• Secrets and access management (Vault exposure a bonus)

Tech you'll need:

Essential

• AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, Load Balancers, Lambda, API Gateways) (Open to GCP/Azure with extensive Kubernetes experience)
• Kubernetes (EKS) - real production experience
• Terraform (hands-on, not just running other people's modules)

Nice to have

• HashiCorp Vault

What they're looking for:

• 3-5+ years of experience in Cloud / Platform / DevOps engineering
• Strong Kubernetes exposure in production environments
• Confidence owning infrastructure and driving improvements
• Someone who enjoys autonomy, collaboration, and problem-solving
• Financial services experience is nice, but not required

Why this is worth your time:

• Work abroad for up to 120 days per year
• Highly modern, cloud-native environment (no legacy!)
• Small team = real influence + real ownership
• Strong focus on learning, wellbeing and flexibility
• Fast, simple 2-stage interview process (fully remote)

Interview process

1. Behavioural interview (45 mins - Zoom)
2. Technical + values interview (80 mins - Zoom)
