About the role – Cloud Engineer

Feefo’s reviews platform runs entirely on cutting edge cloud based infrastructure and services. You will work as part of a small team responsible for ensuring that infrastructure is performant, scalable, secure and resilient, while identifying areas for improvement, proposing approaches to implementing those improvements and the impact of those changes.

Your day-to-day work will be a mixture of interrupt driven work, providing advice and assistance to the product & software engineering teams, identifying, diagnosing and resolving issues within the Feefo cloud platform as well as working on longer-term projects to improve the Feefo cloud infrastructure.

You will report to the Head of Cloud DevOps, but will be expected to work closely with other departments within Feefo, particularly the product delivery teams consisting of product managers and software developers who implement new functionality to the Feefo application -- ensuring that the cloud architecture to support the new functionality is best in class.
