Head of Cloud Platform Engineering

Demonstrable experience owning cloud platforms supporting a regulated, high-availability or critical-infrastructure business.

Ability to balance technical excellence with commercial and operational reality - cost, risk, and delivery pace.

Understanding of the utility/energy sector's data and resilience expectations is an advantage.

Deep, hands-on AWS expertise across compute, storage, networking, data and security services, ideally evidenced by current AWS certification(s).

Proven experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms that combine AWS-native services with open-source components (e.g. Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka or equivalent messaging, Prometheus/Grafana or equivalent observability).

Track record of owning a FinOps practice and delivering demonstrable, sustained cloud cost savings.

Strong cloud security background - IAM, encryption, vulnerability management - and familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001.

Experience defining and meeting non-functional requirements: high availability, disaster recovery, performance/load testing and scalability at production scale.

Strong infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform, CloudFormation or CDK) and mature CI/CD practice.

Comfortable operating hands-on day to day while also owning strategy, standards and team development.

A track record of sharing knowledge and raising technical capability across a team or wider engineering community - through documentation, mentoring, or internal training.

Willingness to participate in on-call/incident response as needed for platforms supporting critical services.

A pragmatic engineer-leader: hands-on by instinct, comfortable balancing strategic ownership with keyboard time.

Security and cost-conscious by default, without losing sight of reliability and delivery speed.

Calm and structured under pressure, with a methodical approach to incident response.

Curious and current - actively tracks the evolving cloud and open-source ecosystem.

Advocates simplicity and resists unnecessary complexity or over-engineering.

A clear communicator, able to translate technical trade-offs into business terms for the leadership team.

A natural teacher and mentor, who enjoys raising the technical capability of colleagues and peers, not just delivering the work themselves.
