About the Opportunity
Executive Hurdles Recruitment is supporting a UK-based, purpose-led organisation — working with public, private, and third sector partners to design, test, and scale practical innovations that improve outcomes for people and communities — with the recruitment of a Group Systems & Cloud Engineer to join their collaborative technology team in London.
​
Reporting to the Group Senior Technical Architect, this is a broad and influential engineering role with day-to-day ownership across identity and access management, endpoints, SaaS platforms, security tooling, and cloud infrastructure. You will also support automation and infrastructure-as-code initiatives alongside the Group DevOps Engineer and act as a senior escalation point for the service delivery team.
This opportunity would suit an experienced Systems, Cloud, Infrastructure, or Workplace Technology Engineer with strong technical foundations, a proactive and service-focused approach, and a genuine interest in working within an organisation where the work has real-world impact.
