A well-known British motoring company are looking for a Cloud & Security Platform Lead to join them in what is a brand new position for the company. Joining a team of 10, you’d be responsible for leading the strategy (and setting standards across the department) behind their cloud and security technology, with a focus on working with AWS, which is their cloud provider of choice.
You’ll need a really in-depth knowledge of AWS (as well as the relevant services, such as compute, storage, networking, database and most important serverless, as this what they work on) as you’ll be working with it day to day.A wide knowledge of IaC tools like Terraform and CloudFormation is needed as there are a lot of cloud deployments to automate. You’ll also need prior hands on experience with containerisation technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, as well as cloud-native application development and microservices architecture.It’s very much a strategic role where you’ll be tasked with creating a roadmap around both cloud and security, and then rolling this out. These include an annual bonus of up to 20%, a £5K cash-car allowance (which you’ll get even if you don’t have a car!), 7% pension and private medical insurance.They ask you to come into the office twice a week (they’ve locations in London and Basingstoke) and there will be travel once or twice a month to the location you’re not in. This is a chance to get to know both them and the company culture a little better….
