This is a standout technical ownership role and will appeal to engineers who want real influence, autonomy, and accountability. If this position is of interest, please contact me directly for a confidential conversation ASAP: Lorenz Pasch at Hays Recruitment: Mobile and email address are available on my LinkedIn profile. This is not a traditional cloud engineering role and not a position hidden behind layers of process, platforms, or support teams This is a senior cloud platform ownership role in a security-critical trading environment, offering genuine end-to-end responsibility, technical authority, and long-term platform influence. The successful candidate will act as the owner of the Azure and Kubernetes platform in production and will be trusted to design, secure, and evolve the environment with minimal constraint. You must be able to demonstrate: Genuine end-to-end ownership of a production cloud platform, not just contribution within a larger team Strong hands-on experience across both Microsoft Azure and Kubernetes (AKS), with confidence operating each in depth Making architectural and security decisions that materially affect the business Direct ownership of incidents, outages, and recovery, with the ability to clearly articulate failure modes and improvements Comfort being the final technical escalation point, rather than relying on central platform, SRE, or security teams If your experience has been limited to tightly controlled environments, Azure-only roles, or Kubernetes without real platform accountability, this role will not be a good fit. Cloud Engineer - Azure & Kubernetes (Platform Ownership) Location: London/Hybrid (Three days in London)Type: PermanentPriority: Immediate, business-critical hire We are building a high-performance trading platform where stability, correctness, and security genuinely matter. We are now hiring a senior Cloud Engineer to own the cloud platform that underpins the business.

You will design and own identity and access models, RBAC, secrets management, encryption, logging, monitoring, and auditability. Systems are designed assuming failure and attack rather than perfect behaviour. You will lead cloud level incidents, own post incident reviews, and continuously improve resilience, disaster recovery, and recovery processes. You will act as the technical authority for the cloud platform, spotting risks early, improving weak areas, and working with an external MSP only where execution support is required, not architectural ownership. What makes this role attractive True end-to-end platform ownership in production High trust, high autonomy engineering environment Direct impact on a mission critical system No corporate IT distractions or ticket-driven work Opportunity to shape a cloud platform properly, rather than inherit constraints A role that values judgement, experience, and technical depth over process What excellence looks like to us You have built and operated production systems on Azure and Kubernetes. You have personally owned infrastructure, security, deployments, and incidents. You are comfortable discussing failures openly and explaining what you changed afterwards.You enjoy being accountable and trusted rather than over managed.
