Thought Machine's mission is bold - to properly and permanently rid the world's banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology which run natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is hard and means we need great people working together to build great technology. We have grown rapidly in the past few years - growing our team to more than 550 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore and Sydney. We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Temasek, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, Standard Chartered Ventures, and more.

As a Senior Cloud Support Engineer at Thought Machine, you're stepping into a senior technical role that goes well beyond incident response. At this level, you're expected to own, influence and elevate how we deliver support globally, across both our hosted SaaS product and bank-hosted Vault deployments. You'll not only handle our most complex technical issues, but also mentor junior engineers, shape tooling and processes, partnering closely with Engineering and Product teams to drive continuous improvement across the platform. You bring a deep understanding of cloud-native systems and distributed architecture, and will become a domain expert in Vault Core. This is a highly visible role where your technical judgement, leadership and strategic problem-solving will directly impact client outcomes and platform quality.

Problem Solving: A proven track record of breaking down ambiguous, and complex problems into clear, deliverable milestones. Production Operations: Experience supporting high-throughput systems in production environments and diagnosing complex issues across distributed systems.
