• Troubleshooting complex technical issues, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions across hybrid cloud environments.
• Strengthening security and governance, ensuring infrastructure meets our security standards and that technical environments are appropriately documented and managed.
• Optimising performance and costs, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and ensuring our technology investment delivers value.
• Collaborating across teams and with external partners, providing technical expertise, translating requirements into practical solutions and supporting effective supplier relationships.
• Contributing to our technology strategy, keeping up to date with emerging technologies and advising on opportunities to improve our infrastructure and ways of working.

The role may also involve participating in an out-of-hours support rota, including weekends and public holidays, to help keep Macmillan’s critical services running.

You’re an experienced infrastructure or cloud engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and building secure, resilient and scalable platforms. You combine strong technical expertise with a collaborative approach, helping colleagues understand technical options and turn business requirements into effective solutions.

You’ll bring:

• Extensive knowledge of infrastructure technologies, enterprise networking and the delivery of technology services.
• Experience designing and developing high-volume, resilient and secure platforms.
• Experience working with public cloud providers, hybrid cloud environments and the technologies that support them.
• Strong knowledge of networking, security services, databases and storage technologies.
• Experience with DevOps, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), automation, orchestration and APIs.
• An understanding of Agile ways of working, including Scrum and Kanban.
• The ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues, assess risks and evaluate different solution options.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams, suppliers and technology partners.
