The Opportunity

We are hiring a Cloud Platform Architect to help design and build the cloud platform for a brand-new international iGaming operator as they launch across Europe and beyond. This is a genuinely rare opportunity to join a well-funded startup where cloud architecture, automation and scalability sit at the heart of the engineering strategy. You'll take ownership of the company's cloud platform, DevOps tooling and infrastructure automation as the business scales across multiple regulated markets.

Working closely with the CTO and founders, you'll help build a secure, scalable, cloud‑native platform capable of supporting millions of daily transactions and high-volume real‑time data processing. This is far more than an operational role. You'll influence cloud architecture, improve automation, optimise infrastructure, shape engineering standards and have genuine ownership over the future platform.

The business is heavily invested in AI, automation and modern engineering practices, with a collaborative culture where engineers are encouraged to influence technical direction from day one.

Technology

  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions
  • ArgoCD
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • Bash / Python
  • Observability & Monitoring
  • Security & Automation

AWS or Azure experience is also welcomed.

About You

You could currently be working as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). You'll ideally have experience with:

  • Designing cloud-native infrastructure
  • Terraform & Infrastructure as Code
  • CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Cloud architecture for high-volume transactional systems
  • Infrastructure automation and developer platforms
  • Scripting with Bash, Python or similar

Experience within iGaming, fintech, payments, eCommerce or other high-traffic, highly available environments would be beneficial but isn't essential.

The Company

This is an early-stage international iGaming business backed by an experienced leadership team with ambitious growth plans. Engineering is based primarily in London, supported by teams in Malta, with a genuine startup culture focused on ownership, collaboration and continuous learning. You'll work directly with senior leadership and play a key role in defining the engineering platform as the business expands internationally.

Why Join?

  • Genuine architectural ownership
  • Work directly with the CTO & founders
  • Modern cloud-native technology stack
  • High levels of autonomy
  • Significant technical influence
  • International scaling programme
  • Excellent engineering culture with minimal bureaucracy

Salary & Benefits

The company is looking for exceptional engineers who want to build something long term and are happy to wait for the right person.

Location: London (Hybrid) 2-3 days per week in the London office.
