Job Description

Cloud Engineer (OpenShift/Kubernetes)
Hybrid (2 days onsite) | Initial 6 month contract | Start ASAP | £500-590pd inside IR35

We're looking for a Cloud Engineer to join a major infrastructure transformation programme, helping build and modernise a new enterprise private cloud platform. If you have strong OpenShift and Kubernetes experience and enjoy building scalable infrastructure, this is an opportunity to make a real impact on a business-critical programme.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a large-scale modernisation initiative, helping build a next-generation platform based on Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes. You'll join an experienced engineering team at a critical stage of delivery, bringing immediate expertise to accelerate the programme.

What you'll be doing

  • Building and deploying a new enterprise hosting platform
  • Working with Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes to modernise infrastructure
  • Collaborating with architects, engineers and delivery teams across the programme
  • Supporting platform engineering and infrastructure build activities
  • Helping streamline delivery on a high-profile transformation programme
What we're looking for

We're keen to speak with hands-on Platform Engineers who have experience delivering enterprise-scale infrastructure projects.

You'll ideally have experience with:
  • Red Hat OpenShift
  • Kubernetes
  • Platform or Infrastructure Engineering
  • Infrastructure automation (Ansible is highly desirable)
  • Networking fundamentals
Experience working on infrastructure transformation or platform modernisation programmes would be highly beneficial.

Working Arrangements
  • Hybrid working - typically 2 days onsite from your nearest office (offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham or Slough), with flexibility around which days you attend.
  • Flexible approach to office days (Tuesday is the main collaboration day)
  • Initial 6 month contract with an immediate start preferred
If you're looking for the chance to work on a high-impact infrastructure transformation, using modern platform technologies within a collaborative engineering environment, we'd love to hear from you.
