Job Summary:

We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Operations Lead to run the day-to-day operations of our AWS-primary cloud estate (with a fast-growing Azure footprint) and to own and drive DevSecOps across the organisation. Reporting to the Cloud Architect within the Cloud CoE, the role spans three areas: cloud operations (about half the role), cloud-security remediation (about a quarter), and DevSecOps ownership, adoption and governance (about a quarter). In practice that means running the reliability and cost-efficiency of the cloud estate, closing security findings and hardening the environment, and owning the DevSecOps toolchain while driving its adoption and governance across delivery teams. It is a deeply technical, execution-focused role for an engineer equally comfortable in infrastructure-as-code, pipeline security, incident response, and directing a managed-services partner pool.

On the operations side, you will operate and continuously improve the landing zones, networking, and platform services designed by the Cloud Architect — primarily on AWS, and increasingly on Azure as that estate grows. You will run monitoring and observability, drive incident, problem, and change management to resolution, and enforce operational guardrails, patching, and backup/DR routines across environments. You will act as the operational owner of the NTT DATA cloud and DevSecOps managed-services pool, holding the partner to SLAs and quality standards.

On the security and DevSecOps side, you will remediate cloud-security findings and harden the estate, and own the DevSecOps toolchain and practice end-to-end — building and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines, integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets-scanning, and image/container security into the delivery flow, and shifting security left. You will define secure-pipeline standards, onboard and enable delivery teams, and actively drive DevSecOps adoption and maturity across the organisation, in line with CISO requirements. Across both halves of the role you will maintain infrastructure-as-code, automate operational toil, support cloud cost/FinOps optimisation, and work within the architecture standards and guardrails set by the Cloud Architect and the Enterprise Architecture Review Board (EARB), escalating design changes rather than making them unilaterally.
