About the role and team:
We are looking for a hands-on Lead engineer embedded in the client's platform team, responsible for the reliability, scalability, and evolution of their infrastructure on AWS.

This role combines deep hands-on expertise with team leadership, stakeholder engagement, and delivery planning. The right candidate can operate credibly at an engineering level while also communicating clearly with business and technical stakeholders, translating platform priorities into a coherent roadmap and ensuring the team has the clarity and support needed to deliver effectively.
