## About the Role

 * Python and Docker for web APIs
 * Kubernetes in production

## Description

We're looking for a Python Cloud Engineer to build and run our cloud-based web APIs. Our solutions aren't tied to one cloud, so we want someone with a solid grounding in cloud architecture on AWS, GCP or Azure (AWS preferred).
You'll write enterprise-grade Python APIs, ship them as Docker images, and run them on Kubernetes alongside storage, pipelines and state stores. All infrastructure and deployment is automated with Terraform. You'll join a product team building zero-to-one innovations on a multi-year roadmap, including optimising AI workloads that scale to meet client needs.

What you'll be doing:

 * Build and maintain Python web APIs, containerised and cloud-agnostic
 * Provision and manage cloud resources with Terraform
 * Design scalable infrastructure using established design patterns and reference architectures
 * Own your deployments end to end, in a true DevOps model, and help the team manage infrastructure directly
 * Integrate with a range of systems, from modern SaaS APIs (GraphQL) to traditional FTP
 * Build observability and security into every design
 * Document architecture with diagrams-as-code
 * Work test-first, with quality built in
