Description du poste
A global Technology and Media organisation is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join their Developer Experience & Productivity Engineering team.
This role would suit an experienced Platform Engineer keen to work on high-impact projects at a global level.
Key Responsibilities
Build out a new API gateway and support a broader rebuild of the development environment. Kick-off is planned for early January.
Lead the migration from RabbitMQ to Kafka for internal big-data systems. This is a critical, high-priority initiative requiring deep Kafka expertise.
Participate in a rotation handling developer requests, approvals, feature queries, and operational tasks to shield the engineering team from interruptions.
Monitor, maintain, and respond to incidents related to platforms and systems you deploy—particularly Kafka.
Essential Experience
Strong experience building self-service platforms for developers. You understand the difference between enabling teams and traditional DevOps execution.
Hands‑on experience standing up, configuring, and operating Kafka in production. You must be able to lead a full migration effort independently.
Ability to hit the ground running and work autonomously, taking architectural direction from a staff engineer.
Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a significant advantage.
Why You’ll Love It?
Work on impactful, organisation‑wide engineering initiatives
Join a team that treats its platforms as products, not services
Opportunity to shape internal developer tooling and infrastructure
High autonomy with strong engineering leadership support
If you’re a senior‑level Platform Engineer with deep Kafka experience and a passion for improving developer experience, we’d love to hear from you.
