What is the opportunity?
As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you'll help shape and run secure, scalable cloud platforms that enable teams across the Bank to build and deploy services with confidence.
You'll focus on automation, strong guardrails and resilient design, with a particular emphasis on enabling AI services in our cloud environments.
This role offers the chance to work at scale, influence standards, and make a real impact on how cloud is adopted across Bank of Ireland.
In this role, you will:
- Design, build and run secure, highly available cloud platform services across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, with a focus on enabling AI workloads.

You're comfortable working with AWS services such as Lambda, Identity and Access Management (IAM), networking and logging, and you enjoy building reusable Infrastructure as Code modules using tools like CloudFormation, Python and Terraform.
You communicate clearly, collaborate well with technical and non-technical colleagues, and enjoy documenting patterns and sharing knowledge.
A curious mindset and a drive to improve how platforms are built and used will help you succeed in this role.
Experience with the following will help you stand out but is not required to apply for this role:
- Experience in regulated or financial services environments.
