Senior Infrastructure and Cloud Engineer

About Us

Information and Technology Ltd is a growing Managed Service Provider delivering infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity and managed IT services to businesses throughout the UK.

We pride ourselves on our long-term client relationships, delivering exceptional customer service and helping organisations use technology to improve productivity, security and business performance.

As our business continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Senior Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer to become a key member of our senior technical team and help shape the future direction of our technical services function.

This is a senior technical position for someone who wants to do more than simply support technology. We are looking for somebody who wants to influence technical standards, drive improvements, lead projects, mentor engineers and play a major role in the future growth of the business.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer who can provide technical leadership across our client environments, lead infrastructure and cloud projects, and act as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues.

This is not a traditional support role.

While technical expertise remains essential, success in this role will come from taking ownership, driving improvements, building trusted client relationships and helping shape the future direction of our services.

You will work closely with senior management to define technical standards, improve security, support strategic decision-making and help ensure the continued growth and success of the business.

You will have significant input into technical standards, service development, technology selection and the future direction of our technical services function.
