Key skills for this role
A Cloud Engineering Specialist (Platform) is responsible for designing, building, operating, and continuously improving shared engineering platforms, DevOps tools, and services across both cloud and on premises environments. The role enables engineering teams to deliver software that is secure, reliable, scalable, performant, and cost efficient, regardless of where workloads are hosted. Guided by Well Architected Framework principles, the specialist ensures that engineering best practices are embedded by default into platform infrastructure—including on prem, hybrid, and cloud foundations—as well as into enabling pipelines and operational tooling. This allows development and testing teams to focus on business outcomes and product delivery, rather than infrastructure complexity, tooling overhead, or ongoing platform and service maintenance.
This supports BT’s strategic priorities by designing solutions that are customer focused, outcome led, and aligned to business objectives (Customer First).
The role brings clarity and structure to complex delivery challenges (Clear), challenges existing approaches to drive simplification and improvement (Challenger), and works collaboratively across teams to enable successful implementation (Connected).
Through accountable ownership of platform stability & outcomes, the role demonstrates strong commitment to delivering reliable, high quality solutions that enable transformation (Committed).
