Cloud Engineer and Architecture Jobs Built For Real Impact

Cloud architecture and engineering roles sit at the centre of modern delivery, but expectations rarely match the job title. A solutions architect may be deeply hands-on in one organisation and entirely strategic in another. At the same time, cloud engineer roles can range from automation-heavy engineering to platform stewardship and optimisation. This lack of clarity makes cloud engineer jobs harder to define and makes progression less predictable.

The pressure is increasing. Application modernisation is accelerating, projected to reach 51.45 billion dollars by 2031, and more organisations are integrating data, AI, and cloud. This creates demand for specialists across cloud engineer jobs, cloud architect jobs, and solutions architect jobs, particularly where security, scalability, and performance must support AI and ML workloads. These hybrid capabilities remain rare, and slow hiring cycles mean the strongest talent moves quickly.

Backing the Teams Who Need Cloud Engineering and Architecture Talent

Ever feel like recruiters miss what you actually need in a cloud engineer or architect? 

We hear that a lot. Modern cloud platforms move fast, responsibilities shift, and expectations rise long before job titles catch up. It is easy for hiring to go wrong when those nuances are overlooked. We take the time to understand the work, the maturity of your platform, and the outcomes you are trying to reach, which is why we deliver when others cannot.


What we have achieved

Our Partnerships

The technology industry never stands still — and neither do we.
 At MCS Group, we recruit across every major area of tech, helping businesses in Belfast, Dublin, and across the UK and Ireland find the people who move them forward.

Specialist Roles With Teams That Take Engineering Seriously

MCS Group supports organisations building credible cloud and engineering capability and helps people move into roles where they can design, run, and improve systems at scale. Cloud engineering sits within a wider set of disciplines that include DevOps, platform reliability, infrastructure, IT operations and business systems. This page connects you to the wider specialisms in Cloud, DevOps, and Infrastructure so you can explore the roles that best match your skills and direction.

Cloud environments only perform as well as the systems that support them. DevOps, platform engineering, and site reliability roles focus on automating delivery, refining tooling, improving infrastructure as code, and ensuring services run predictably at scale. If your work aligns with pipelines, platform enablement, or operational reliability, explore this section to see how these roles support modern cloud delivery.

Discover More

Strong cloud engineering depends on stable foundations. This area covers the specialists who maintain core infrastructure, networking, hybrid environments, and systems engineering. These roles keep services connected, performant, and resilient. If you focus on building or maintaining the underlying layers that cloud platforms run on, this section will take you to the right opportunities.

Discover More

Cloud systems still rely on teams that handle day-to-day operations. IT support and operations professionals keep users productive, resolve issues quickly, and maintain endpoint stability across growing environments. If your work sits closer to the service desk, desktop support, field engineering, or operations monitoring, you can explore those roles here.

Discover More

Applications matter just as much as infrastructure. This area includes specialists who support CRM, ERP, and other enterprise platforms, including Salesforce, Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, and internal business applications. If you work across business systems, application support, or enterprise platforms that sit on top of cloud environments, this section connects you to focused roles and insights.

Building Strong Engineering Teams Starts With Solving The Real Problems

Cloud and infrastructure teams rarely struggle because of headcount alone. They struggle because responsibilities are unclear, the architecture doesn’t align with delivery reality, or platforms are evolving faster than teams can keep up. Two roles with the same title can look entirely different in practice. That’s why identifying the real problem always matters.

We speak daily with cloud engineers, architects, and platform specialists, giving us a grounded view of the challenges modern teams face. Platform maturity, automation depth, ownership, tooling alignment, and architectural clarity all determine whether engineering work runs smoothly or constantly feels reactive.  We cut through assumptions and get to what your environment actually needs to work better.


Learn More

Delivery slows for a reason. Architecture loses clarity. Pipelines clog. Infrastructure drifts. Automation stalls. Ownership blurs. These problems need targeted expertise, not guesswork.

  • Cloud architects bring direction.
  • DevOps and platform engineers restore flow.
  • Cloud engineers stabilise and scale what teams rely on.

We help you pinpoint the capability that moves everything forward.

Meet Our Consultants

Cloud and engineering hiring can quickly become messy. Different stakeholders want different outcomes, priorities shift mid-search, and timelines rarely behave. We keep the process steady, communicate clearly, and make sure decisions are based on evidence, not assumptions.

Join Us

Maybe you need a cloud engineer to restore reliability, a cloud architect to shape long-term direction, or a platform engineer to modernise tooling and workflows. Maybe you need all three. We adapt to the work ahead rather than forcing your needs into predefined templates, helping you build capability that lasts.
