London, Greater London, United Kingdom Made Tech Limited Full time

Our aim at Made Tech is to use human-centred technology to improve our society. We believe putting people at the heart of designing, building and delivering public services leads to better outcomes for everyone.

Based within the Cloud & Engineering Practice, our Cloud Engineers help public sector organisations to deliver digital services that are highly available, reliable, resilient and secure. They are software engineers who tend to focus more on the successful deployment and operations of services than on functional development. They are adaptable and comfortable covering a range of disciplines such as DevOps, SRE and infrastructure architecture.

About the role

You will play a key role in designing, implementing, and maintaining our clients' cloud infrastructure, ensuring it is secure, scalable, and highly available. You will provide dedicated cloud and infrastructure support within your team.

We expect our cloud engineers to have a background in and an understanding of software engineering. You will keep abreast of emerging technologies and be able to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary software delivery environment.

Key responsibilities

Delivery of high quality cloud-based technical solutions for our clients:

  • Collaborate within cross-functional teams to implement cloud architectures that meet the client's requirements around scalability, performance, and security
  • Deploy and manage cloud resources, containers, and related services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or CloudFormation
  • Configure and maintain networking, security, and access control in the cloud environment
  • Implement and maintain robust security practices to protect data and resources in the cloud environment
  • Develop and maintain automated processes for provisioning, monitoring, and scaling cloud resources, including the use of CI/CD pipelines to streamline application deployments
  • Monitor cloud infrastructure for performance bottlenecks and proactively optimise resource usage
  • Implement load balancing, caching, and content delivery solutions to ensure high availability and performance
  • Design and maintain backup and disaster recovery solutions to ensure business continuity in the event of system failures or data loss
  • Create and maintain runbooks including configuration management and standard operating procedures
  • Provide high tier support for client applications and infrastructure, including occasional on call cover
  • Ensure any necessary compliance standards are met and certifications are maintained

Evangelising the adoption of cloud technology and adherence to prescribed best practices:

  • Evaluate and recommend cloud services, tools, and solutions to meet common client scenarios
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging technologies, and share knowledge with the team
  • Collaborate with other teams within Made Tech to ensure alignment with cloud best practices
Skills, knowledge and expertise
  • Prior experience in a cloud engineering role, with a strong foundation in successfully building and deploying services in the cloud
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCP
  • Hands on experience delivering software and knowledge of modern software engineering best practices
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration tools (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience working in a technology consultancy environment
  • Experience working within multidisciplinary teams with product, design, and technical disciplines all successfully collaborating
  • Relevant cloud certifications such as AWS Cloud Practitioner, Developer, DevOps Engineer, Security, Advanced Networking or Azure Developer, Security, DevOps, Network Engineer
  • Knowledge of cloud vendor partner programs, such as AWS APN and Azure Partners
  • Experience with well-architected frameworks
  • Knowledge of UK public sector technology guidance and frameworks, such as NCSC's Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) and the Technology Code of Practice (TCoP)
  • Agile practices such as Scrum, XP, and/or Kanban
  • Experience using Test Driven Development (TDD)

An increasing number of our customers are specifying a minimum of SC (security check) clearance in order to work on their projects. As a result, we're looking for all successful candidates for this role to have eligibility.

Eligibility for SC requires 5 years' continuous UK residency and 5 year' employment history (or back to full-time education). Please note that if at any point during the interview process it is apparent that you may not be eligible for SC, we won't be able to progress your application and we will contact you to let you know why.

Support in applying

If you need this job description in another format, or other support in applying, please email talent@madetech.com.

We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. We're collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.

When you apply, we'll put you in touch with a member of our talent team who can help with any needs or adjustments we may need to make to help with your application.

We are always listening to our growing teams and evolving the benefits available to our people. As we scale, as do our benefits and we are scaling quickly. We've recently introduced a flexible benefit platform which includes a Smart Tech scheme, Cycle to work scheme, and an individual benefits allowance which you can invest in a Health care cash plan or Pension plan. We're also big on connection and have an optional social and wellbeing calendar of events for all employees to join should they choose to.

Here are some of our most popular benefits listed below:

Paid counselling - we offer paid counselling as well as financial and legal advice

Our hiring process is designed to be thorough, transparent, and supportive, guiding candidates through each step. The exact process may vary slightly depending on the role but these are the typical steps candidates can expect.

We'll keep you updated throughout the process and provide helpful feedback at each stage. No matter the outcome, we make sure the feedback is useful and supportive, so you feel informed and can learn from the experience.
