Job description

Overview

You’re the kind of Platform Engineer who doesn’t just “run” Linux. You tune it. Break it. Fix it. Automate it. Improve it. You like AWS because it gives you options. You like hybrid because it forces you to think. And you’re comfortable when Linux, Windows, networking and security all collide in the same environment. You don’t want a narrow ticket queue. You want ownership.

I’m hiring a Senior Platform Engineer (Linux / AWS) into a Glasgow-based firm operating in global financial markets. The infrastructure here supports time-sensitive, high-impact activity. When something moves, it matters. When something breaks, it gets fixed properly. You’ll be someone who enjoys digging into:

Linux and Windows in live production environments
Virtualised infrastructure
AWS within a hybrid estate
Automation with tools like Ansible
Enterprise networking and security
Monitoring, resilience and recovery planning

Responsibilities

This is broad, hands-on engineering. Part operational responsibility, part project delivery. Often the escalation point. You’ll be trusted to think, to improve and to take ownership of complex systems without being micromanaged.

Location

Glasgow city centre. Hybrid working. Senior level.
