Hypercube Consulting is the leading technology partner for the energy sector. We're building a world-class team of technology experts with deep domain knowledge in all things energy - both renewables and oil & gas. We work across cloud, infrastructure, data, AI and software, helping energy-sector organisations modernise and operate technology platforms that support genuinely important business services. To understand more about who we are and what we do, visit our website here: Hypercube | Decision Intelligence for Energy Role purpose We're looking for Cloud Infrastructure Platform Engineers to provide the core technical engineering capability within a major cloud infrastructure and platform managed service for an oil & gas customer. For this particular role, strong hands-on Windows, Linux, Azure and AWS experience is essential. We need someone who has genuinely operated this infrastructure in production — investigating incidents, making changes, maintaining services, troubleshooting networking and compute, responding to monitoring, supporting backup and recovery, and dealing with the day-to-day realities of keeping environments with this technology running. This isn't a role where knowledge from certification or occasional project exposure will be enough. We are looking for someone who can demonstrate practical experience supporting and maintaining infrastructure with the envioronments above and who can take ownership of issues at T2/T3 level. You will also need strong Microsoft Azure and hybrid infrastructure experience. This is a hands-on production engineering role sitting between our Cloud Infrastructire Platform Service Engineers and the Platform Technical Lead. You will own incidents and changes that require deeper investigation, broader technical knowledge or greater engineering judgement than routine operational support. The environment is genuinely hybrid and multi-cloud, spanning Microsoft Azure, AWS, Linux, Windows, Azure VMware Solution, Azure Arc-enabled on-premises and offshore infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft 365. The managed service also includes platform monitoring, patching, backup and recovery, automation, security remediation and operational support. You will provide the primary T2/T3 engineering capability for the service, taking ownership of complex incidents, infrastructure changes, problem investigation and automation. In particular, you will strengthen the team's operational capability across the entire infrastructure estate. This is different from a role where you spend six months building a platform and then hand it over to somebody else. You'll be responsible for keeping production services healthy and resolving the difficult problems that arise once technology meets the real world. A typical week could involve diagnosing an AWS networking or EC2 issue, investigating a complex Azure connectivity problem, reviewing a failed Linux patch deployment, automating a recurring operational task, supporting a major incident, implementing a production infrastructure change or investigating a recurring backup problem. The service operates within the customer's own ServiceNow environment and existing ITIL-aligned incident, request, change, problem and knowledge-management processes. Accurate ticket updates, sensible risk assessment, good documentation and disciplined change execution therefore matter alongside pure engineering ability. You will work closely with the Platform Technical Lead and the wider Hypercube technical practice, giving you access to specialist expertise when an issue requires deeper knowledge of a particular technology. You will also help develop the engineers around you. There is no direct line-management requirement, but we expect Cloud and Infrastructure Platform Engineers to share knowledge, mentor Service Engineers and help increase the technical capability of the whole team.
