Overview

One of the most annoying elements of job seeking is wading through the constant drivel online, consisting of badly written job ads, uninspiring LinkedIn activity and recruiters who think Apache relates to a military-grade attack helicopter. So I wanted to 'go against the grain' and write something short, snappy and hopefully interesting enough to make ou want to apply. Let's see how that goes An innovative and progressive IT Consulting Firm in Manchester (5 minutes from Piccadilly) is looking to recruit experienced Senior Cloud Engineers to come in and work within their expanding engineering function. They have a diverse portfolio of customers spanning multiple verticals including Financial Services, Banking, Retail, Insurance and the Public Sector, with the overriding focus being on the design and delivery of scalable Cloud solutions. Simply put these guys know what a good engineering house looks like and their long-term goal is to create a centre of excellence for software engineering. Sound like something you'd like to be involved in? If the answer is a resounding 'yes' then read on Your responsibilities in this role would be varied, encompassing the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) with specific focus on the delivery of solutions and platforms using the latest Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP) in a fully Agile environment, including Scrum, TDD and CI/CD.
