Requirements

What we're looking for

You might be a senior cloud or DevOps engineer today.

• Commercial experience designing and running cloud infrastructure, ideally on AWS

• Experience leading the technical side of a project or workstream, even if it wasn't your job title

• Enough TypeScript, Python or Node to work closely with the engineers building on your infrastructure

• A good grasp of architecture from working alongside architects

• Confidence explaining technical decisions to people who aren't technical

Nice to have

• Experience working directly with clients

• Consultancy or agency background

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays

• 5 Impact Days for learning, innovation or volunteering

• 2 wellbeing days and a wellbeing budget

• Learning budget plus time for training and conferences

• Enhanced sick pay and parental leave

• Free counselling, Cycle to Work and a company laptop

The role

What you'll do

• Designing and building cloud infrastructure on your projects

• Looking after DevOps, from pipelines to environments and deployments

• Leading the technical side of a workstream, working with tech leads and architects

• Building proofs of concept to test ideas early

• Supporting engineers with less cloud experience

• Helping estimate new work

How you'll work

There are no set office days, but we value time together and with clients.

You'll come into our Leeds or Manchester office, or a client site, for important meetings, workshops and key moments, so you'll need to be within easy reach of one of them.

Step up and shape how it's built

You'll take the lead on the cloud side of client projects, deciding how things should be set up and then building them yourself.

If you've been acting as a lead without the title, or want the chance to, this is a role you can grow into with support.

What's in it for you

You'll work with clients from the early conversations, alongside delivery and product.

You'll be matched to projects on your skills, so you won't be put on something just because you're free.

You'll learn to build with AI agents alongside engineers who already do it every day. How we build with AI has changed a lot in two years, and we'll help you keep up.

Who you'll be doing it for

hedgehog lab is a digital product consultancy with 20 years behind us. We build apps, websites and AI platforms for public and private sector clients in health tech, retail and financial services.

Our project teams are 5 to 15 people, made up of agentic engineers, software engineers, QA and designers.

We're a certified B Corp and Great Place to Work certified, with around 100 people across the UK and Europe.

What you'll need

• You've started building with AI agents, beyond asking a chatbot for code. Your own projects count, and a GitHub repo you can walk us through is a good way to show it.
