Cloud & Infrastructure
Our Cloud & Infrastructure unit deals with where systems run and what they cost to keep running. The scope covers architecture and migration, cost optimisation, reliability and disaster recovery, hybrid and on-premise decisions where data residency or latency require them, and platform engineering. Frontier workloads often break the assumptions of standard cloud design.

What this is.
Cloud spend in scaling technology companies is usually the second largest controllable cost and the least examined. Architecture decided under time pressure two years ago is now a monthly bill nobody can fully explain.
This unit deals with where systems run and what that costs. Architecture and migration, including honest assessment of what should not move. Cost optimisation with attribution by team and workload, so the conversation is about specific decisions rather than a headline number. Reliability engineering, failover and disaster recovery tested rather than documented.
Frontier workloads often break standard cloud assumptions. Training runs need capacity that reserved-instance planning does not anticipate. Regulated data has residency requirements. Real-time control loops cannot tolerate the latency. Edge and on-premise deployment stops being nostalgia and becomes the correct answer, and hybrid design is the normal outcome.
Platform engineering is the durable part: internal tooling so product teams ship without filing tickets, with the guardrails in the platform instead of in a review meeting.
Typical mandates: a migration or re-architecture, a cost reduction with a hard target, a reliability programme after an outage, or a platform team stood up as engineering headcount grows.
