Description:
Platform Engineer / Senior Platform Engineer
AWS | Kubernetes | Terraform | Linux
Must be eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC)
£75,000 - £110,000 (dependent on experience and location) + excellent benefits
Hybrid (up to 30% onsite, 70% working from home)
Multiple UK locations
We are working with a leading, global company who are looking to onboard a number of Platform Engineers and Senior Platform Engineers as part of a major expansion.
You'll join an experienced engineering team building, automating, improving and supporting enterprise platforms used across large-scale, business-critical environments. This is a hands-on engineering role, ideal for engineers who enjoy building platforms, writing automation and troubleshooting complex production environments while helping other engineering teams deliver more effectively.
We're particularly interested in engineers who have experience owning shared platform capabilities used by multiple development or engineering teams, ideally within large-scale enterprise environments.
What you'll be doing:
Designing, building and supporting AWS-based platforms
Building, operating and troubleshooting Kubernetes/container platforms
Developing reusable Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
Building and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
Creating shared platform capabilities, developer self-service tooling and reusable engineering patterns
Automating infrastructure and operational processes
Improving observability, reliability, security and platform performance
Troubleshooting complex issues across cloud, Kubernetes and Linux production environments
Defining engineering standards and platform patterns adopted across multiple teams
At senior levels, mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership while remaining hands-on
To be suitable, you'll need strong hands-on experience across most of:
AWS
Kubernetes / containerisation
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
Linux
CI/CD
Git
Automation / scripting
Platform Engineering, DevOps or Production Engineering
Supporting and troubleshooting production environments
We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate what they have personally built or improved, the scale of the platforms they've supported and the impact their engineering has had.
Desirable but not essential:
Experience with GitOps, Helm, ArgoCD/Flux, Docker, Python/Bash, AWS multi-account environments, developer self-service/Internal Developer Platforms, observability (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), SRE or DevSecOps.
What's on offer?
£75,000 - £110,000 depending on experience and location
Hybrid working (up to 30% onsite, 70% working from home)
Private healthcare
Excellent pension
Ongoing technical training and certifications
Clear progression into Senior and Lead engineering positions
Due to the nature of the programmes, applicants must be eligible to obtain a SC Clearance (typically requiring five years' UK residency).
So, if you're a hands-on Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer or Production Engineer with strong AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and Linux experience who enjoys building, automating and improving platforms rather than moving away from engineering, apply now to be considered
