Company: Ocho People
Apply for the Senior Cloud Engineer (Devops)
Location: Belfast
Job Description:

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.

Please apply now if you are meeting the above criteria or contact Andrew Harrison directly.
