Cloud Platform Manager (AWS)

Cloud Platform Manager | AWS | Kubernetes | CI/CD | IaC | 2/3 days per week in South West London | £105,000 + bonus + benefits

Method Resourcing are partnered with a scaling technology organisation undergoing a major engineering transformation. After 18-24 months of structural change, leadership alignment, and a shift away from a start-up style environment, they're now investing heavily in modernising their cloud, tooling, and delivery practices.

They've reached a point where technical improvement alone isn't enough, they need a Cloud Platform Manager who can drive alignment, consistency, and high-quality delivery across a small but growing DevOps function.

The role: This is a 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and strategic leadership. You'll take ownership of AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes, Python automation, IaC, and pipelines, while also shaping processes, ways of working, engineering standards, and team effectiveness. There's huge potential here: powerful systems, lots of capability, and a team that's now aligned, collaborative, and ready for strong leadership.

What you'll be working on:

• Getting hands-on across AWS, Kubernetes, Python, Terraform/IaC, automation, and cloud platform engineering
• Modernising legacy services and introducing engineering standards that improve reliability, consistency, and delivery cadence
• Leading, coaching, and developing a small but evolving DevOps function
• Improving processes, release workflows, observability, automation, and platform maturity
• Working closely with engineering leadership to define strategy and shape the future of the platform
• Supporting upcoming security and DevOps hires and helping them integrate into the team
• Bringing structure and alignment to an environment that's powerful but inconsistent, and now ready for its next phase

What they're looking for:

• Strong AWS engineering background (production experience essential)
• Kubernetes experience across upgrades, scaling, troubleshooting, and workload patterns
• Hands-on IaC capability (Terraform preferred)
• Strong scripting/automation skills (Python essential)
• Experience modernising legacy environments or maturing engineering practices
• Leadership skills: coaching, alignment, decision-making, improving ways of working
• Ability to work with established engineers and bring them on the journey
• Clear communicator able to collaborate across platform, security, product, and software teams
• Experience balancing hands-on delivery with management responsibility

Working pattern: This role requires 2/3 days per week in South West London.

Benefits:

• Discretionary bonus
• Flexi-time
• 25 days holidays + BH's
• Enhanced maternity/paternity leave
• Working abroad up to 4 weeks per year
• Pension
• Private health insurance
