Senior Cloud Engineer (DevOps)

Our client, a Global technology-led organisation with a major engineering presence in Belfast, is now expanding its high-performing Cloud Engineering team. Operating as a centre of excellence within a global technology function, the Belfast team delivers critical infrastructure supporting a large-scale, high-traffic, multi-regional platform.

This is a senior-level role suited to an experienced Cloud/DevOps Engineer who thrives on ownership, autonomy, and solving complex infrastructure challenges.

The Role:

You'll join a small, senior Cloud Engineering team supporting ~90 engineers globally. This is not a ticket-driven SRE role, instead, you'll take ownership of significant infrastructure initiatives including:

• Multi-region AWS architecture (US East & US West)
• Kubernetes platform management and upgrades
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Networking, VPC design and platform architecture
• CDN and performance optimisation projects
• Cloud tooling evaluation and proof-of-concepts

You'll be trusted to lead projects, influence architectural decisions and operate with a high degree of autonomy.

Experience:

• 5+ years' experience in Cloud / DevOps Engineering
• Strong AWS and Terraform experience
• Hands-on Kubernetes knowledge
• Solid understanding of networking, VPCs and infrastructure design
• Development mindset (JavaScript preferred, Python beneficial)
• Comfortable owning and leading infrastructure projects
• Strong communicator who can explain the "why" behind technical decisions
• Based in Northern Ireland (no sponsorship available)

Working Model

• Hybrid / remote-first environment
• Belfast office available (no mandated days)
• On-call rota approx. once every 10 weeks (incidents rare)

This is an opportunity to join a highly skilled, senior team operating at scale within a globally recognised digital organisation, while retaining the agility and ownership of a startup-style engineering culture.
