This role sits within Deloitte’s Engineering Platforms team — part of our Business Technology offering within Technology & Transformation. Our mission is to build, run and evolve the platforms that power Deloitte’s managed services and digital solutions across Cloud, AI and Data. We design and manage the firm’s next-generation multi-cloud environments, enabling secure, automated, and scalable operations that underpin innovation across our clients and internal platforms.

You’ll be part of a cross-cloud operations team that supports day-to-day cloud activities across Azure, GCP, and AWS, including project and account provisioning, environment monitoring, compliance checks, automation, and reporting. You’ll also contribute to developing automation scripts, maintaining operational runbooks, and working with engineers to improve platform stability, efficiency, and security.
