We’re supporting a major financial services organisation on a large-scale data centre exit and cloud transformation programme.

This is not a greenfield “nice-to-have” cloud project. This is real engineering.

You’ll be part of a 4–5 person engineering squad responsible for:

  • Migrating infrastructure from on-prem private data centre into AWS
  • Untangling legacy integrations across a wider group ecosystem
  • Rehosting and replatforming services
  • Implementing modern Infrastructure as Code and automation standards
  • Building scalable, secure AWS landing environments

Architecture is already covered internally, this role is about hands on applied engineering.

The role:

  • Delivering AWS infrastructure using Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
  • Supporting lift & shift and rehost migration strategies
  • Implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / similar)
  • Driving containerisation (Docker / Kubernetes)
  • Building automation around monitoring, logging and alerting
  • Integrating with wider platforms including Salesforce and other third-party systems
  • Working closely with internal architects and project teams

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have:

  • Strong AWS experience (enterprise-scale environments)
  • Terraform / IaC expertise
  • CI/CD pipeline experience
  • Containerisation (Docker / Kubernetes)
  • Monitoring & observability tooling experience
  • Experience delivering within structured programmes

Nice to Have:

  • Financial services / wealth / asset management exposure
  • Data centre migration experience
  • Experience working in regulated environments

Working Model

  • Primarily remote
  • Occasional workshops / design sessions in London
  • Embedded within an established programme team
  • No unnecessary reporting overhead – you’ll be part of the core delivery team
