Infrastructure / Platform Engineer

London or Cambridge

Hybrid Working - 3 Days Per Week Onsite

An established and rapidly growing AI software company is expanding its Platform Engineering team and seeking experienced Infrastructure or DevOps Engineers to help shape and evolve a production-grade Kubernetes environment.

This opportunity is suited to engineers who enjoy building and improving systems from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing enterprise platforms.

The business has successfully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS EKS and is now focused on scaling, refining and strengthening its cloud infrastructure. They are looking for mid-level and senior engineers who can bring hands-on depth, strong architectural understanding and experience operating in fast-paced product environments.

The Role

• Design, build and evolve AWS cloud infrastructure
• Work extensively with Kubernetes and AWS EKS
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Contribute to CI/CD and GitOps workflows
• Improve multi-tenant platform architecture
• Enhance scalability, reliability and automation
• Solve complex production challenges in a SaaS environment

What We Are Looking For

• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience
• AWS production experience, ideally EKS
• Solid Infrastructure as Code expertise, Terraform preferred
• Experience building or significantly evolving cloud platforms
• Comfortable working in dynamic, high-growth or product-led environments
• Engineers who understand infrastructure at a systems level, not just through pre-built pipelines

This position is open to both strong mid-level engineers and senior engineers. Senior candidates will have the opportunity to influence platform direction and mentor others. Mid-level candidates should demonstrate genuine ownership and depth of hands-on experience.

Location

The role can be based in either London or Cambridge.

The team operates a hybrid model with three days per week onsite.

About the Role

This is a greenfield leadership opportunity for an experienced FinOps professional to establish and lead the Cloud Financial Management (FinOps) function from the ground up. As the organisation accelerates its cloud-first strategy on Azure, the FinOps Lead / Manager will be the founding architect of the discipline building the processes, governance frameworks and culture of financial accountability that will underpin sustainable cloud adoption.

The role sits firmly within the Technology division and reports into Technology leadership. It is not a Finance function. Initially this is a hands-on individual contributor role; the FinOps Lead / Manager acts as the bridge between engineering teams and financial outcomes, translating cloud consumption into business value and ensuring spend decisions are informed, intentional and owned by the right people.

Key Responsibilities

Establishing the Function

• Design and stand up the FinOps operating model, defining ways of working, governance cadence and the foundations for future team growth
• Define and implement FinOps policies, standards and tooling across the organisation initially as a hands-on individual contributor while establishing the division.
• Align the function to the FinOps Foundation framework, driving capability maturity from Crawl to Run

Cloud Financial Governance

• Own cloud spend visibility across Azure environments, providing accurate, timely and actionable reporting
• Establish and enforce tagging strategies, resource governance and cost allocation frameworks

• Lead anomaly detection processes, enabling rapid identification and response to unexpected spend

Optimisation & Strategy

• Drive a continuous optimisation programme covering right-sizing, reserved instances, savings plans and decommissioning
• Develop and maintain cloud financial forecasting models that feed into technology and organisational planning cycles
• Identify and quantify cost-saving opportunities, presenting recommendations to senior Technology and Business stakeholders
• Build and manage FinOps tooling to improve cost visibility, showback and chargeback capabilities

Stakeholder Leadership

• Act as the senior FinOps authority, partnering with Engineering, Product and Architecture teams to embed cost-conscious design
• Engage Finance teams as a key stakeholder providing data and forecasts without being operationally accountable to them
• Present cloud financial performance at leadership and governance forums, translating technical metrics into business language
• Champion a culture of financial accountability across all engineering and technology disciplines

Education & Enablement

• Define and deliver a FinOps training and awareness programme for development and operations teams
• Establish communities of practice and shared tooling to scale FinOps knowledge across the organisation
• Produce clear reporting packs, dashboards and documentation on cloud financial performance

Skills & Experience

Essential

• Significant experience in FinOps, Cloud Financial Management
• Demonstrable experience leading or building a FinOps function not just operating within one
• Deep expertise in Azure cost management, governance tooling and Azure Policy
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at senior and executive level
• Experience developing forecasting models and presenting financial data to non-technical audiences
• Proven track record of delivering measurable cloud cost savings at organisational scale

Desirable

• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FinOps Foundation) or equivalent certification
• Azure certifications (e.g. AZ-104, AZ-900) and/or Power BI credentials
• Exposure to AWS or multi-cloud environments
• Experience in regulated sectors (e.g. healthcare, financial services)
• Familiarity with relevant regulatory frameworks including CQC, GDPR, NMC, GPhC and ICO
• Experience with collaborative working across insourced/outsourced and geographically dispersed teams

What Good Looks Like

In the first 12 months, the right candidate will have likely sstablished a functioning FinOps practice with clear processes, tooling and reporting in place. Delivered measurable, documented cost optimisation outcomes. Created a cloud financial governance framework adopted across Technology. Built trusted relationships with engineering leads, the CTO and Finance stakeholders. Introduced a FinOps maturity roadmap with clear milestones through to a ‘Run’ state

For immediate consideration please apply now.

IRIS is continuing to grow its Data Science team as the business relies more heavily on data to support reporting, decision-making and future initiatives across finance, sales and operations.

This is a newly created role to support the ongoing development of ABIOS, our internal data platform. ABIOS is used daily by teams across the business and plays an important role in areas such as billing, reporting and operational insight, supporting around £500k of monthly revenue.

The role would suit someone who enjoys working with SQL, likes understanding how data is used in a real business context, and wants to be close to the problems they’re solving rather than working on isolated technical tasks.

Why This Role Matters

ABIOS underpins a lot of day-to-day activity at IRIS. It brings together data from multiple core systems and makes it usable for teams who rely on accurate, timely information.

• Used by over 700 internal users each day
• Supports billing, finance and operational reporting
• Helps teams view, update and work with trusted data
• Continues to evolve as the business grows and changes

You’ll help keep the platform running smoothly while also contributing to improvements and future changes, including a move towards a hybrid Azure / AWS environment.

About the Team You’ll Join

You’ll join a small team of Business Intelligence Developers within the wider Data Science function, reporting into the Senior Manager, Data Science.

The team works collaboratively and supports one another. There’s a mix of development, data and analysis skills, and people are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions and challenge how things are done when it makes sense.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a hands-on role with a mix of development and support. Day to day, you’ll be:

• Building and improving internal data tools within ABIOS
• Writing and maintaining SQL queries, views and datasets
• Pulling data from data warehouses and preparing it for use in tools and reports
• Investigating and fixing data issues to maintain data quality
• Testing changes and new features to ensure they work as expected
• Working with internal teams (such as Finance and Sales) to understand what data they need
• Documenting solutions and creating simple user guides
• Supporting wider Data Science BAU activity when needed
