You will play a key role in the success of the organisation and will be part of a team who are responsible for continually improving the company’s cloud infrastructure and development platforms. You will work closely with the development teams, cloud security, and operations professionals to ensure the successful execution of high-impact projects.
We expect you to be able to view challenges from many different perspectives and create and drive strategies and solutions that are not only technically sound, but also include regulatory, commercial, and organisational aspects when appropriate. Cloud economics will also be a fundamental part of the role to ensure platforms and environments are sized appropriately.
We are looking for an experienced individual with a strong background in software development, cloud technologies, systems administration with Unix/Linux and network fundamentals
