Introducing the Infrastructure Engineering and Tooling team aka Atlas at Trainline👋
Atlas owns the ecosystem used to deploy, run and manage traffic to the Trainline platform. We’re currently building the next generation of our infrastructure platform. We use a variety of technologies — from Terraform to Node.js, C#, Python and AWS — and we focus on software engineering excellence: reliability, quality, automation, and fast iteration.
The team is split into two squads, each with a mix of software engineers, platform engineers and cloud specialists, supported by Engineering Managers and a Head of Engineering who shapes our strategy alongside a Technical Product Manager.
You won’t just be “managing systems” — you’ll be building the code-driven foundations that hundreds of engineers use daily. This is the perfect role if you’re a software engineer who’s passionate about applying coding skills to the world of cloud-native engineering.
As a Cloud Engineer at Trainline you will...🚄
- Join a high-performing, inclusive team where you can inspire people and own results.
- Work on transforming Trainline into a cloud-native organisation by building opinionated platform solutions through clean, testable, production-quality code.
- Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and modern programming languages to create scalable, maintainable systems.
- Improve developer experience so product teams can ship features faster and more reliably.
- Contribute to process improvements and platform evolution, iterating along the way.
Qualifications
We'd love to hear from you if you...🔍
- Have solid experience in at least one modern programming language (e.g. Node.js, Python, C#) and can confidently read, write, and discuss code.

- Understand software engineering principles: version control, modular design, testing practices such as TDD.
- Consider yourself reliable, transparent and collaborative.
- Have knowledge of cloud computing, ideally AWS.
- Enjoy working with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and automation tools.
- Have a basic understanding of Linux.
- Are curious and eager to learn new languages, frameworks and cloud technologies.
