Cloud Engineer in London

We’re building a team of highly-skilled engineers who want one thing above all else: to write excellent code, every day, and continuously level up technically. This role is tailor-made for the kind of person who thrives on solving hard technical problems, learning from brilliant peers, and getting deep into the codebase — day in, day out. You’ll be part of a high-performing team and expected to navigate real-world, fast-moving client projects. That means collaborating thoughtfully, communicating clearly, and being proactive in unblocking yourself and others. We want engineers who ask great questions, learn from their teammates, and know how to get what they need to do their best work.

Responsibilities

• The Cloud Engineer’s mission will involve building with Serverless on AWS. This will be a client-facing role and you will be involved in conversations and planning activities with our external client, holding both technical and business-focused conversations.
• Work primarily with AWS Serverless technologies and Typescript, while gaining exposure to different ways of working and, on occasion, different technologies.
• Collaborate with the team to design, implement, and maintain scalable cloud solutions.
• Proactively unblock yourself and others to keep client projects moving forward.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, STEM field, or equivalent work experience.
• Proven experience with AWS Serverless technologies (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CDK/Terraform) in production environments.
• Strong programming skills in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Solid understanding of cloud architecture, serverless patterns, and best practices.

What we Offer

• 25 Days annual leave.
• Learning and Development Support throughout your career at Theodo.
• 3 week work from anywhere policy.
• Equipment budget for your tech set up.
• Company pension.
• Monthly Socials.
• A Slack network of 600+ engineers across our extended ecosystem — ask questions, share patterns, or troubleshoot issues with some of the sharpest devs out there.
• Monthly "Lunch & Tells" — in-person sessions to share technical discoveries, cool code tricks, or war stories from the field with fellow engineers.
• You’ll work on a hybrid basis from our office based in London.
