Director, Cloud Infrastructure

New Today

Aforza aims to transform the lives of every consumer on the planet by helping the world’s best Consumer Goods companies become more agile, efficient, productive, and sustainable. We do this by introducing never-before-seen capabilities, including 'Active' Customer Segmentation, Real-Time Promotion Execution and AI-driven Predictive Ordering.

At Aforza, we feel lucky to rub shoulders with some of the finest talent available in our industry. If you are looking for the opportunity to learn from others and challenge yourself, there is no better place to be. We are a young, well-funded and fast-moving company. We recognise the exceptional talent we are lucky to have in our team and reward them accordingly.


About the Role

Aforza is looking for a Director of Cloud Infrastructure to join our R&D team, located in Cardiff, where you will be working with a dedicated team of highly talented engineers building out Aforza’s industry-leading cloud solutions.

Reporting directly to our VP of Engineering, in this role, you will be responsible and accountable for the security, reliability, and scalability of our GCP infrastructure.

This is a highly strategic role where you will be directly responsible for continued success of the entire Aforza product suite. As such, the ideal candidate must be hands-on, flexible, and used to working in startup/scale up environments, where every employee has a direct impact on the company’s success.

All of Aforza’s cloud applications, microservice and websites are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) running on Google Kubernetes Engine. We use TypeScript across the board in both frontend and backend.

Here’s a high-level overview of the different areas of our stack:

We make use of the following GCP products:

What You'll Do

What We Are Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Infrastructure expert who has already been directly responsible for production infrastructure in a previous role. We are a highly dynamic team and require someone who is happy to wear many hats as needed. You should be equally happy engineering new features, managing a SOC2 audit, and clicking around the GCP console.

You might not have all of the above, but don’t let that stop you. We’re excited to hear from anyone who is keen and has a real passion for infrastructure management.

Working at Aforza is awesome! We offer a flexible working environment and our engineers are able to work where they’re most comfortable - whether that’s at home, in our brand new office or a mix of both.

We tend to work from home most of the time, but we like to get to the office a few times a fortnight to get some face-to-face time with each other.

All of our R&D team get fantastic benefits, including:
