Senior Cloud Engineer

Looking for a Cloud role where you'll actually make an impact?

Fed up of spending your days maintaining the status quo?

Want to work in an environment where your ideas are encouraged, automation is valued and no two days look quite the same?

We're working with a growing software business that's looking to add a Cloud Engineer to its North American operations team. This is an operationally focused role supporting a large AWS environment, helping to keep critical platforms running whilst continuously improving how things are done.

You'll join an experienced Cloud and DevOps team, reporting into an excellent technical leader who values collaboration, ownership and people who are happy to roll their sleeves up and solve problems.

This isn't a project-only role or a position for someone coming straight from software development. It's ideal for someone who enjoys operating production environments, responding to incidents, improving reliability and finding smarter ways to automate everyday processes.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting a large-scale AWS production environment across North America
• Managing Kubernetes (EKS) environments and cloud infrastructure
• Investigating and resolving production incidents and service issues
• Improving automation across operational processes and infrastructure
• Working with Infrastructure as Code principles using Terraform
• Supporting observability and monitoring platforms including Grafana and Prometheus
• Helping drive improvements around cloud optimisation, platform reliability and operational efficiency
• Contributing to ongoing platform initiatives including CI/CD improvements and cloud migrations
• Taking part in a shared on-call rota (approximately one primary week every 30-45 days)

What they're looking for

• Strong commercial experience working within AWS environments
• Solid Kubernetes experience, ideally EKS
• Previous experience working in a Cloud, DevOps or SRE focused operational environment
• Comfortable supporting live production systems and troubleshooting infrastructure issues
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform
• A good understanding of monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus or similar
• Exposure to CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins or GitHub
• Experience working with SQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL environments would be beneficial
• Someone who enjoys automating manual processes and continually improving how things are done

Technical ability is important, but attitude matters just as much.

They're looking for someone who takes ownership, stays calm under pressure and enjoys solving problems. Someone who investigates issues rather than waiting for answers, works collaboratively with their teammates and isn't afraid to suggest better ways of doing things.

You will fit in well if you're naturally curious, pragmatic and happy working in an operations environment where priorities can change quickly.

The package

• Hybrid working with around 1-2 days per week in the Calgary office
• Fast interview process with decisions made quickly

If you're an experienced Cloud Engineer who enjoys keeping critical platforms running whilst making continuous improvements behind the scenes, we'd love to tell you more.
