About the Role

Location: London - Hybrid
Employment Type: Full-time
Department: Frontier Delivery

This Cloud Engineer position will sit within our Frontier Delivery team and play an integral role in building the core infrastructure on which our cutting-edge product, Frontier, sits. As we continue to expand our platform's reach, you'll have the unique opportunity to be part of scaling this AI-focused product while being the go-to evangelist for Cloud and Infrastructure engineering best practices.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Cloud Engineer at Faculty, you'll help our customers by building robust, secure, and scalable Cloud Infrastructure to support their data and machine learning workflows, working as part of a cross-functional technical team to build solutions for some of the hardest problems in Applied AI today. Your role will evolve alongside business needs, but you can expect your key responsibilities to include:

• Working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders from idea to implementation.
• Contributing to internal Cloud Engineering best practices, standards, and code repositories.
• Enabling Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists to take ownership of their cloud deployments.
• Proactively contributing to Faculty’s growth by recommending how customers can leverage Cloud infrastructure to solve their problems.
• Being involved with the project life cycle from idea generation to shipping.
• Actively seeking the best open-source technologies for the development of Faculty's infrastructure.
• Creating and maintaining reusable libraries that are used company-wide.

Who We're Looking For

At Faculty, your attitude and behaviour are just as important as your skills and experience. Our principles guide our day-to-day actions, and we look for individuals who can demonstrate their alignment with these. To succeed in this role, you'll need demonstrable experience in some of the following:

• At least one of the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• GitOps.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• CI/CD (e.g., ArgoCD, Gitlab Pipelines, CircleCI).
• Containerisation and deployment with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Networking fundamentals (IP networking, TCP, HTTP).
• Cloud security fundamentals (least privilege access, security groups, isolated networks).
• Technologies that are nice to know but not essential: Task orchestration, ELT, Serverless, Event Streaming.
• Some experience in Python and API development.

We value individuals who combine expertise and ambition with optimism, who are interested in changing the world for the better, and have the drive and intelligence to make it happen. If you’re the right candidate for us, you probably:

• Think scientifically, testing assumptions and seeking evidence to improve processes.
• Love finding new ways to solve old problems, always seeking new solutions.
• Are pragmatic and outcome-focused, balancing the big picture with details.
• Have experience working directly with clients and end users for requirements gathering, technical planning, and scoping.
• Have a drive to learn new technologies and novel applications of existing technologies.
• Are interested in technical mentoring.
