What you will be doing: Design, build, configure and operate secure, reliable and reusable engineering platform capabilities. Translate approved platform architecture and engineering standards into working platform products, automation and self-service services. Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment and operational activities using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices. Develop reusable templates, modules and platform components to reduce duplication across engineering teams. Build and maintain developer self-service capabilities, engineering templates, service catalogue integrations and golden paths. Enable engineering teams to provision environments and deploy applications with minimal dependence on central teams. Work with engineering teams to identify delivery challenges and continuously improve the developer experience. Maintain technical documentation and usage guidance for platform capabilities. Build and maintain standardised CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation. Integrate automated testing, security scanning, quality controls and policy enforcement into engineering workflows. Implement safe deployment patterns, environment promotion, rollback and recovery processes. Improve the repeatability, speed and reliability of software delivery. Engineer and operate cloud, container and Kubernetes platform capabilities. Implement secure cloud foundations, networking, identity, access and environment configurations in line with approved architecture. Monitor platform capacity, performance, availability and cost, and implement improvements where required. Maintain platform components through upgrades, patching and lifecycle management. Implement observability capabilities using standard logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards and alerts. Define and implement platform service-level indicators and operational health measures. Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis and the implementation of permanent corrective actions. Embed security controls, secrets management, access controls and compliance guardrails into platform capabilities. Reduce recurring operational tasks through automation and engineering improvements. Provide technical guidance and mentoring to platform engineers and delivery teams. Contribute to platform design decisions, technical reviews, engineering standards and the platform roadmap. Collaborate with Architecture, Software Engineering, Security and Production Management to ensure platform capabilities are usable, supportable and aligned with organisational standards. Evaluate new platform technologies through practical prototyping and evidence-based recommendations. Improve platform adoption, reduce manual requests and engineering effort, and enhance the reliability of shared engineering services. What we are looking for: Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related discipline. 10+ years of experience across software engineering, cloud engineering or platform engineering. 3+ years of experience in a senior platform engineering role. Experience building and operating enterprise-scale cloud platforms. Experience defining platform standards and engineering guardrails. Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices. Experience automating infrastructure provisioning, configuration and deployment processes. Experience developing reusable platform components, templates and modules. Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation. Experience with automated testing, security scanning and quality controls within software delivery workflows. Experience with cloud infrastructure, container platforms and Kubernetes. Knowledge of cloud networking, identity and access management, and secure environment configurations. Experience implementing observability through logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards and alerts. Experience monitoring platform performance, availability, capacity and cost. Knowledge of incident management, root-cause analysis and service reliability practices. Experience implementing secrets management, security controls and compliance guardrails. Understanding of deployment strategies, rollback procedures and recovery processes. Experience improving developer self-service capabilities and engineering experience. Ability to translate platform architecture and engineering standards into practical technical solutions. Strong technical problem-solving and automation skills. Experience providing technical guidance and mentoring to engineers. Ability to collaborate with architecture, software engineering, security and production teams. Strong technical documentation and communication skills. Ability to evaluate technologies and make evidence-based recommendations. Please note that if you do not hear from us within 3 weeks, consider your application unsuccessful.
