Cloud Engineer

Cloud Engineer

Dundee | £35,000 - £40,000 | Permanent

Published: 26.05.25 Ref: BBBH51604_1748276470

A growing tech company in Dundee are on the lookout for a Cloud Engineer to join their hybrid cloud operations function.

They've recently undergone a successful reorganisation and, with a solid foundation in place and big growth plans ahead, they're now looking to strengthen the team by bringing in an experienced Cloud Engineer.

You'll be part of a collaborative engineering squad that plays a key role in delivering cloud and infrastructure services across a hybrid environment.

About the role

This is a hands on engineering position where you'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of technologies, including public cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, VMware, and automation tooling such as Terraform and Ansible.

It's a varied environment, so no two days are quite the same - one day you might be handling technical change requests or resolving issues from the ticket queue, and the next you could be delivering customer projects from day one.

There's a strong emphasis on learning and development, with access to training budgets and certifications to help you grow your skills.

What you'll bring to the table

This is a generalist cloud engineering role, so while you don't need to know everything already, we're looking for someone with a solid technical foundation and a willingness to get stuck into different areas.

Ideally, you'll have:

  • Good exposure to cloud platforms like AWS or Azure
  • A solid understanding of VMware infrastructure
  • Experience with automation tools such as Terraform or Ansible
  • Knowledge of firewalls and networking (a big plus)
  • Comfort working with Windows or Linux system administration
  • Experience with monitoring tools like Zabbix

The role offers a salary around £40k (with flexibility for the right person), hybrid working from either their Dundee or Aberdeen office (1-2 days a week on site), and a strong benefits package that includes 34 days' holiday, matched pension, a tech scheme, and cycle to work scheme. Career development is genuinely encouraged, with clear examples of people progressing internally into more senior roles, or even sideways if you were keen to upskill in other areas.

If you're a Cloud Engineer looking to join a friendly, collaborative environment where you can genuinely develop your career, this could be a great fit!

Our clients

Candidates

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow
