An elite
AI and data-driven consulting group is building a bench of
Senior Infrastructure Engineers to deploy into complex, high-impact client environments.
This is
not a junior ops role; This is
not a “keep the lights on” position.
You’ll be dropped into environments that are
messy, critical, or half-built — and expected to
stabilise, modernise, and set the standard for what good looks like.
If you’re the engineer people call when systems are on fire, under-designed, or mission-critical —
this role is built for you.
What you’ll be doing- Designing, deploying, and operating hybrid infrastructure (on-prem + AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Leading on-prem → cloud / hybrid migrations with minimal downtime
- Driving cloud optimisation across cost, performance, and scalability
- Implementing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
- Monitoring and troubleshooting with Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK
- Ensuring security, resilience, DR, and compliance best practices
- Modernising and maintaining on-prem environments
(Linux/Windows, VMware/Hyper-V, networking, storage) - Partnering with DevOps, Security, and Engineering teams to support CI/CD pipelines
- Providing hands-on technical leadership to client engineering teams
- Participating in on-call rotations and capacity planning when required
- Producing clear, auditable documentation for architectures and processes
What we’re looking for- Senior-level infrastructure experience (this is not a learning role)
- Strong, hands-on expertise across hybrid cloud environments
- Proven delivery in complex, client-facing engagements
- Deep practical experience with IaC and automation
- Ability to work independently and influence technical direction
- Comfortable being dropped into unfamiliar environments and taking control fast
The environment- High-end consulting
- AI-first, data-driven clients
- Project-based work with real technical depth
- Engineers are trusted, not micromanaged
