Working within Service and Delivery management frameworks (ITIL - Incident, Problem, Change, and Agile methodologies). Influential with strong communication and leadership skills. You and your role A typical day as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer in Hybrid Cloud Services means getting hands on with the tech that keeps cloud platforms running smoothly across the department. You'll spend a lot of time working closely with Architects, SRE's, Delivery Managers and Product Managers, bouncing ideas around and shaping cloud solutions that are stable, secure and ready to scale. Much of the work is about making sure everything we build or run lines up with the organisation's technical standards and security expectations, so there's always a bit of problem solving and forward planning involved. Some days you're deep in designing or delivering new cloud services; other days you're looking after the platforms already in place - tuning performance, improving resilience or jumping in to resolve incidents when something unexpected pops up. You're the person the team turns to when things get complicated, offering guidance to junior engineers and helping users understand what's going on behind the scenes. There's also a steady rhythm of spotting ways to make services better, putting together improvement plans and seeing them through so the cloud environment keeps evolving.
