Help Build a Scalable Cloud Platform Powering the Net-Zero Transition
A forward-thinking, AI-driven technology company in the energy sector is seeking a talented Cloud Engineer to take ownership of its growing cloud infrastructure. This is an exciting opportunity to make a direct impact by supporting scalable, secure, and high-performing systems that help commercial buildings move towards net-zero.
You’ll play a key role in managing and evolving cloud architecture, working in a collaborative engineering environment with data and software teams. This role goes beyond typical operations — it’s about leading cloud strategy, infrastructure-as-code, security automation, and continuous improvement.
About the Role
As a Cloud Engineer, you'll take the lead in provisioning and managing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources, implementing best-in-class infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, and shaping the entire cloud environment to meet growing demands.
You’ll manage network architecture (including Tailscale VPN), build automated CI/CD security checks, support capacity planning, and ensure compliance with ISO-27001. This role also involves enabling other teams through shared tooling, mentoring, and documentation — multiplying engineering productivity and improving system reliability across the board.
With a strong focus on automation, security, and cloud efficiency, this role offers the opportunity to shape a scalable infrastructure strategy while contributing directly to real-world sustainability outcomes.

Provision, configure, and manage GCP resources using Terraform and other IaC tools.
*
Design and maintain secure network infrastructure and VPN configurations.
*
Lead the development of automated CI/CD security and compliance workflows.
*
Monitor system health, optimise for cost and performance, and support auto-scaling strategies.
*
Plan for cloud capacity, disaster recovery, and maintain infrastructure SLOs.
*
Mentor development teams on infrastructure best practices and standardise cloud tooling.
*
Champion a DevOps culture and drive continuous improvement across the cloud stack.

Understanding of cost optimisation, resource tagging, and forecasting.

Scripting abilities for cloud automation and configuration.
What’s on Offer
*
Flexible hybrid working with regular team days in Birmingham.

26 days of flexible holiday + bank holidays.
*
Enhanced family leave and inclusive policies.
