About the Role
The Senior Cloud Engineer is a high-impact, hands-on role designing and building AWS platforms from first principles for enterprise clients. You will shape client cloud architecture, working closely with client teams to design and implement AWS environments, and actively build and implement infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
Responsibilities
- Design and build AWS platforms from first principles, including account structure, IAM, networking, and core services
- Shape end-to-end AWS architecture for enterprise clients, influencing how they scale securely and effectively in the cloud
- Work directly with client engineering, architecture, and security teams in workshops and design discussions, contributing to key cloud decisions
- Implement infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), translating architecture into secure, scalable, production-ready environments
- Apply sound technical judgement across cost, performance, security, and maintainability, ensuring solutions work in real-world delivery
- Contribute to raising the bar through design reviews, reusable patterns, and mentoring, strengthening Quantium’s AWS capability
Requirements
- You’ve built AWS environments from the ground up and are comfortable owning both design and implementation
- You are hands-on with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) and can work directly in code alongside engineers
- You bring strong AWS fundamentals across IAM, networking, account strategy, and core services
- You combine architectural thinking with delivery pragmatism, knowing how to move from design to production effectively
- You’re comfortable working with clients, contributing to discussions, explaining trade-offs, and building credibility quickly
