What you'll do The Cloud Infrastructure Tech Lead role helps teams (such as product teams, platform teams and application teams) to successfully adopt cloud infrastructure and platform services. It is heavily involved in design and implementation activities that result in new or improved cloud-related capabilities, and it brings skills and expertise to such areas as cloud technical architecture (for a workload's use of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) components); automating cloud management tasks, provisioning and configuration management; and other aspects involved in preparing and optimizing cloud solutions. Successful outcomes are likely to embrace infrastructure-as-code (IaC), DevOps and Agile ways of working and associated automation approaches, all underpinned by the Tech Lead's solid understanding of networking and security in the cloud. The nature of the work involved means that the cloud infrastructure engineer will directly engage with customer teams but will also work on cloud infrastructure platform capabilities that span multiple teams. The Tech Lead collaborates closely with cloud architects, product/platform teams, software developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), security, and network specialists, as well as other roles, particularly those in the infrastructure and operations. Being an approachable team-player is therefore crucial for success, and willingness to lead initiatives is important too. The Tech Lead also supports colleagues with complex (escalated) operational concerns in areas such as deployment activities, event management, incident and problem management, availability, capacity and service-level management, as well as service continuity.
