Cloud Consulting • APPLICATION • Yorkshire, Leeds, United Kingdom • 12h ago

Cloud Consulting have an urgent requirement for an experienced AWS Platform Engineer to work on a high-profile project for a leading company.

The role is predominantly remote but will require 2 days p/month on-site in Leeds.

The role is inside of IR35 and requires SC Clearance.

Role Overview:

The DevOps Engineer will play a critical role in the design, build, and automation of cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines supporting the NHS IAM (Identity and Access Management) programme. This initiative aims to develop the Master Staff Index (MSI) which is a unified, secure digital identity and access management solution that ensures every NHS and social care staff member has a unique identity linked across local and national systems.
You will collaborate within a multidisciplinary delivery team to create reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure that underpins the MSI's authentication, single sign-on, and access capabilities across the company's landscape.

Key Responsibilities:

. Infrastructure Design and Delivery: Deliver secure, reliable, and scalable cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. Support the design and implementation of build, deployment, and automation pipelines across development, test, and production environments. Contribute to the definition and enforcement of platform standards under the guidance of the Principal DevOps Engineer.
. Cloud Engineering and Operations: Manage and optimise cloud environments, primarily in AWS (experience with Azure beneficial). Implement and maintain IAM, networking, and security configurations that comply with NHS security policies and Entra (Azure AD) integration.
. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Azure DevOps. Automate build, test, and deployment processes to increase delivery speed and reliability.
. Automation and Scripting: Develop automation tools and scripts to streamline operations and reduce manual intervention. Contribute to IaC development using Terraform and configuration management tooling. Use Python or JavaScript (desirable) to extend platform automation and integration capabilities.
. Monitoring and Observability: Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging using Splunk, Grafana, and Cribl. Ensure visibility of system health, performance, and security posture.
. Collaboration and Delivery: Work as part of an agile, multidisciplinary team to support continuous delivery and improvement. Collaborate with developers, architects, and security specialists to embed DevOps practices. Support operational readiness and ensure platform reliability for the MSI solution.

Essential Skills and Experience:

. Proven experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering within cloud-based environments.
. Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
. Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
. AWS cloud engineering experience (Azure experience welcome).
. Practical understanding of cloud security, identity management, and IAM best practices.
. Familiarity with observability tooling (Splunk, Grafana, Cribl).
. Experience working in agile delivery teams and contributing to iterative development processes.

Desirable Skills:

. Programming/Scripting experience in Python or JavaScript (TypeScript, React, etc )
. Exposure to large-scale public sector identity and access management systems.
. Experience integrating with Microsoft Entra (Azure AD).
. Knowledge of Zero Trust principles and secure authentication architectures.
