Senior Platform Engineer (Cloud)
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer (Cloud) based in Ireland.
This is a hands-on, build-focused engineering role centered on designing, automating, and operating a modern multi-cloud platform that powers enterprise-scale applications and services. You will work at the core of a platform engineering team, turning architectural direction into production-ready infrastructure through code and automation. The role emphasizes deep technical execution across infrastructure as code, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines rather than high-level architecture or governance. You will contribute directly to the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of cloud environments used by development teams across the organization. Operating in a collaborative engineering environment, you will work closely with architects, developers, and operations teams to continuously improve platform capabilities. This is an opportunity for a strong builder who enjoys solving complex infrastructure problems and delivering real-world impact through automation.
Accountabilities:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable multi-cloud infrastructure solutions, primarily across Azure and AWS environments, following established platform standards.
- Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, including reusable modules, functions, and workspace structures aligned with best practices.
- Create and maintain Ansible playbooks, roles, and automation workflows to enable configuration management and reliable deployments.
- Build and operate CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps to support infrastructure provisioning and continuous delivery processes.
- Provision and support AI-enabled cloud services such as Azure AI Foundry and AWS Bedrock for application teams consuming these capabilities.
- Ensure platform reliability through day-to-day operations, including monitoring, troubleshooting, patching, hardening, and performance optimization.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, architecture, and operations teams to translate platform requirements into automated, production-ready solutions.
Requirements:
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud platforms, with additional exposure to AWS and/or GCP considered an advantage.
- Solid background in Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform, with experience building reusable modules and maintaining scalable codebases.
- Strong proficiency in Ansible for configuration management, automation, and deployment orchestration.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and operational tasks.
- Practical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Azure DevOps tools, including repositories, pipelines, and release workflows.
- Familiarity with Linux and/or Windows system administration in cloud or hybrid environments.
- Understanding of Git workflows, version control practices, and agile delivery methodologies.
- Strong problem-solving mindset with a bias toward practical execution and delivering working solutions.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering teams.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package aligned with senior engineering roles.
- Flexible remote and hybrid working options across Europe.
- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, paid leave, and retirement plans.
- Access to continuous learning programs and structured career development opportunities.
- Inclusive and diverse workplace recognized for collaboration and innovation.
- Opportunities to work on cutting-edge multi-cloud and AI-enabled infrastructure projects.
- Strong engineering culture focused on ownership, execution, and continuous improvement.
