A leading global media & technology organisation is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join its Infrastructure team, working on some of the most performance-critical cloud systems in the industry.

• Be available for occasional work outside normal business hours (planned and unplanned)

✅ What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years' experience in IT infrastructure roles

• Extensive hands-on Kubernetes experience in production
• Solid grasp of hybrid networking: Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, VPC Peering
• Experience working as a 3rd line engineer or Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
• Strong communication skills and ability to remain calm under pressure
• Understanding of low-level compute (CPU, memory, storage)
• UK driving licence required (for travel to on-site event support)

💡 Why Apply?

• Work with high-performance infrastructure used in globally broadcast events
• Collaborate with a forward-thinking engineering and DevOps team
• Combine technical depth with high-impact, real-time systems
• Opportunity to influence architectural direction at a senior level
