Job description

AWS Platform Engineer | AWS | EKS | Lambda | Terraform | GitHub Actions | Hybrid West London (3 days per week) | £60,000 + bonus + benefits

Method Resourcing are proud to be partnered with one of the UK's fastest-growing digital sports businesses as they continue to scale their cloud platform engineering function.

They're looking for an AWS Platform Engineer to join a close-knit team, supporting a highly available cloud environment that underpins a real-time, customer-facing platform. This role has come about due to an internal promotion, making it an excellent opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in progression and development.

The role:

This is an ideal opportunity for a junior-to-mid-level Platform Engineer looking to accelerate their development within a modern AWS environment.

You’ll gain exposure across multiple areas of platform engineering including cloud infrastructure, security, automation, observability, reliability, and performance optimisation. The senior engineers are highly supportive and will provide plenty of guidance, but you’ll also be given real ownership and autonomy from day one.

The business already has dedicated teams supporting day-to-day developer operations, meaning you’ll spend your time focused on platform improvement, cloud engineering, automation, and technical projects rather than BAU support tickets.

What you’ll be working on:

• Building and maintaining cloud infrastructure within AWS
• Supporting containerised workloads running on EKS
• Working with AWS Lambda and serverless architectures
• Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines through GitHub Actions
• Improving monitoring and observability across the platform using Datadog and CloudWatch
• Supporting platform security, optimisation, scalability, and reliability initiatives
• Working alongside senior engineers on larger infrastructure and platform projects
• Commercial experience within Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering
• AWS experience (EKS, Lambda, Aurora, or similar services)
• Terraform experience
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or similar
• Understanding of monitoring and observability tooling
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Desire to learn and develop within a high-performing engineering team
• Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude

What they value:

Technical skills are important, but attitude matters just as much. They’re looking for someone enthusiastic, curious, and eager to learn. If you’re the type of engineer who enjoys figuring things out, taking ownership, and continually developing your skillset, you’ll fit in well here.

• Discretionary bonus
• Additional on-call payment
• Team lunches every Friday
• Modern West London office
• Clear progression opportunities

Working arrangements:

Hybrid working 3 days in their West London office.
