We are building a targeted talent pool of experienced Cloud Architects and Cloud Engineers to support upcoming projects across financial services, banking, insurance, and consulting.

Demand is being driven by cloud transformation, modernisation of legacy platforms, hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, regulatory requirements, and the need for secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure across regulated environments.

This is a strong fit for professionals who can work across cloud architecture, infrastructure design, DevOps, security, governance, and enterprise cloud migration.


What you will do:

  • Design and implement secure, scalable, and resilient cloud architectures.
  • Support cloud migration and modernisation programmes across financial services environments.
  • Architect hybrid, multi-cloud, and cloud-native solutions.
  • Develop infrastructure and platform solutions aligned to security, governance, and compliance requirements.
  • Work across DevOps practices including CI/CD, automation, infrastructure as code, and monitoring.
  • Engage with technical and business stakeholders to translate requirements into cloud solutions.
  • Support cloud cost optimisation, performance improvement, and operational resilience.
  • Contribute to cloud governance, risk, and data protection considerations within regulated environments.


What we are looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, cloud architecture, infrastructure, or DevOps roles.
  • Strong experience with one or more major cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Experience designing and delivering enterprise cloud solutions.
  • Good understanding of security, governance, compliance, and resilience in regulated environments.
  • Exposure to hybrid or multi-cloud architecture is advantageous.
  • Experience with CI/CD, automation, IaC, containerisation, and monitoring tools.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Financial services, banking, insurance, or consulting experience is highly advantageous.


Preferred background:

We are particularly interested in professionals who have worked on:

  • Cloud migration or infrastructure modernisation programmes.
  • Banking, insurance, fintech, or regulated financial services environments.
  • Hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, or cloud-native architecture.
  • Cloud security, governance, resilience, or compliance initiatives.
  • DevOps transformation, CI/CD enablement, or platform engineering.
  • Data platform, analytics, AI, or automation infrastructure projects.


Why join our talent pool:

You will get access to upcoming project opportunities with leading banks, insurers, fintechs, and consulting firms operating across South Africa and broader African markets.

These projects often focus on cloud transformation, infrastructure modernisation, DevOps enablement, platform resilience, and secure cloud adoption within complex, regulated environments.
