Summary

This isn’t just another Cloud role. It’s a blank slate, a rare opportunity to take full ownership of cloud strategy and delivery across a fast-scaling tech environment – reporting directly to a CTO who’s looking for someone to lead the way. If you’ve been the most senior Cloud mind in the room before, and you’re craving the autonomy to fix, unify, and build a modern cloud architecture from the ground up – this one’s for you.


We're building a brand-new engineering hub in Prague (launching Q4), this role will be central to that growth and you'll play a leading role in shaping the cloud function across the business. Your task will be to architect, define and deliver a pragmatic and scalable cloud transformation plan, working across a hybrid environment with engineers in London and India, and a new Prague hub coming soon.


You’ll own:

  • Cloud strategy, architecture, and roadmap – from design to delivery
  • Modern platform tooling – with a focus on AWS (strongly preferred) or GCP/Azure, Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform, and automation
  • Cloud-first principles across the global engineering org
  • Influence at the highest levels – acting as a trusted Cloud voice to the CTO and engineering leadership


Skills and experience:

We’re after a visionary, senior-level Cloud Architect with hands-on depth and strategic clarity. You’ve likely operated in product-led or software-first environments and know how to connect technical design with business impact.


  • 10+ years in cloud/platform architecture in complex, distributed setups
  • Deep experience with AWS, EKS/Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tooling
  • Proven ability to define and implement enterprise-wide cloud strategy
  • Matrix leadership experience – able to drive initiatives across multiple teams without formal people management
  • Strong communication skills – able to influence, advise, and deliver with clarity
  • A mindset for innovation, simplification, and scale


This is a rare opportunity to own the cloud blueprint for a global tech organisation. You won’t be inheriting legacy cloud baggage – you’ll be writing the strategy, building the vision, and setting the standard. It’s also a genuine chance to step into a Director of Cloud role over time – if you’re ready to lead and shape a modern, scalable cloud future.


Please send your CV to Kat Ingman, [email protected] and I’d be more than happy to arrange a quick chat about this fantastic opportunity, the company, hiring process, etc.
