At Tribal, we’re a leading EdTech business providing market‑leading software solutions to the global education market. Our mission is to research, develop, and deliver the products, services, and solutions that education institutions worldwide need to support their primary goals: educating students, providing optimum learning experiences, and ultimately delivering successful outcomes.

About the Team

Our Cloud Solutions team works in close partnership with clients to design and implement secure, scalable, and efficient cloud architectures for the SITS:Vision platform — a market‑leading student information system used by universities and colleges globally. We help institutions modernise their infrastructure, improve performance, and unlock new capabilities through cloud transformation. The impact? Faster innovation, reduced operational complexity, and enhanced experiences for students and staff. The role is remote with the occasional travel to one of our offices, either Hessle, Sheffield or Bristol.

• Providing technical leadership and guidance to project teams.
• Developing documentation and best practice guidelines for cloud deployments.
• Supporting migration strategies from on‑premises to cloud environments.
• Staying up to date with emerging cloud technologies and recommend improvements.

• Strong understanding of networking, security, and identity management in cloud environments.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of enterprise software deployment and integration.

It Would Be Great If You Had:

• Experience with higher education systems or student information platforms.
