About the Role: Cloud Engineering Consultant

A technically experienced Cloud Consultant responsible for implementing, architecting, and managing infrastructure for a highly secure Cybersecurity Cloud Service Provider. Leveraging open-source, Microsoft, hybrid, and public cloud technologies, you will support escalated incidents, drive automation initiatives, manage projects, and continuously strengthen our security posture. A strong passion for self-development is essential, along with a commitment to high-quality documentation, effective troubleshooting, and collaboration within a multi-skilled team.

Cloud Engineering encompasses a spectrum of technology.  It is expected that a Cloud Engineering Consultant will be considered an expert in one or more areas but will also be required to use and embrace the entire technology stack in the product portfolio when required.

• Collaborate with problem, incident, and change management teams, taking a technical lead across customer and internal projects from initial engagement through design, implementation, and operation.

• Serve as a trusted technical consultant and SME for key accounts, supporting pre‑sales through to full product lifecycle ownership and the delivery of scalable, secure solutions.
