I'm working with a household name in the UK tech space - a high-traffic consumer platform used by millions - on a fantastic Engineering Manager opportunity leading their Cloud Foundations team.

You'll be shaping cloud strategy, driving reliability and security governance, and enabling hundreds of engineers to deliver at scale.
What the role covers:
- Leading a team across cloud infrastructure, security, governance, and FinOps
- Owning platform reliability, DR planning, incident management, and observability
- Driving automation, IaC, and Policy-as-Code to reduce toil and strengthen governance
- Working closely with a Platform Product Manager on roadmap and OKRs
- Managing vendor relationships and cloud spend optimisation
What they're looking for:
- Proven experience managing cloud platform/infrastructure teams in a product-led environment
- Hands-on background with GKE, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, Elasticsearch, CDN/WAF
- Strong grasp of cloud security, IAM, and governance frameworks
- A leader who coaches and develops engineers rather than micromanaging
- FinOps mindset and experience embedding cost-efficiency culture
