The posting

Do you enjoy solving complex problems? Are you a Cloud Engineer who takes pride in the customer journey? Here is your chance to impact change! We have the role for you here at Made Tech.

About Made Tech

At Made Tech we want to positively impact the future of the country by using technology to improve society, for everyone. We want to empower the public sector to deliver and continuously improve digital services that are user-centric, data-driven and freed from legacy technology. We believe the best way to achieve this is to embrace cloud technology while working in a collaborative multidisciplinary environment.

Based within the Cloud & Engineering Practice, our Senior 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 critical 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 expertise within your team and advise on best practice.

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

You will be expected to maintain a broad technical knowledge across all major cloud platforms and build credibility by pursuing relevant certifications.

Key Responsibilities

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

  • Collaborate within cross-functional teams to design 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
  • Line manage and mentor more junior colleagues to support their development, pursuit of career goals and management of their overall performance

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Essential

  • Significant prior experience in a cloud engineering role, with a strong foundation in successfully building and deploying services in the cloud
  • A deep knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCP
  • Hands on experience delivering software using multiple programming languages and a thorough knowledge of modern software engineering best practices
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration tools (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience working within multidisciplinary teams with product, design, and technical disciplines all successfully collaborating

Desirable

  • Experience working in a technology consultancy environment
  • 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)
  • Familiarity with Python, Bash and JavaScript
  • Agile practices such as Scrum, XP, and/or Kanban
  • Experience using Test Driven Development (TDD).

Job Benefits

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 [email protected].

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’ve put together this blog as a resource to share more about reasonable adjustments and some examples of what this could include. We also welcome any feedback on how we can improve the experience for future candidates.

As well as special interest groups such as music, food and pets, we also have 10+ Slack channels dedicated to specific communities, allies, and identities as well as dedicated learning spaces called communities of practice (COPs). If you’d like to speak to someone from one of these groups about their experience as an employee, please do let a member of the Made Tech talent team know.

Benefits

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
