We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Cloud & Platform Engineer
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Job type: Full-Time
Work mode: Hybrid
About the Role
- This is a foundational role. Every platform we build, every programme we run digitally, every product we ship - all of it rests on infrastructure that you design, deploy, and keep running.
- You work closely with the engineering team to ensure systems are reliable, scalable, and secure, and you bring the discipline to build things the right way from the start. As Ubulu Africa grows, so will the scope of what you manage. You are building for today and architecting for what comes next.
Who You Will Do
- Design, deploy, and maintain cloud infrastructure across Ubulu Africa's digital platforms
- Build and manage CI/CD pipelines that enable the engineering team to ship with speed and confidence
- Own platform reliability - monitoring, alerting, incident response, and uptime across all environments
- Manage database infrastructure, backup systems, and performance in production environments
- Implement and continuously improve security practices, access controls, and compliance standards across the stack
- Collaborate with the Engineering & AI team to architect scalable, resilient solutions aligned with organisational growth
- Maintain clear, current infrastructure documentation and operational runbooks
What You Bring
- 5 or more years in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering
- Strong hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform and its core services
- Proven experience managing production database infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and backend services
- A security-first mindset - you build with protection and resilience as defaults, not afterthoughts
- The ability to work independently and own your domain in a lean, fast-moving environment
- Clear communication - you can explain infrastructure decisions to engineers and non-engineers alike
- Familiarity with African or emerging market technology contexts is an advantage
Application Closing Date
22nd June, 2026.
