As a Platform Engineer you'll design, build and optimise the AWS infrastructure, working closely with software engineering teams to deliver scalable, secure and cost effective cloud solutions.

This is a hands‑on role with plenty of ownership. You'll take the lead on infrastructure projects, shape architectural decisions, automate and improve ways of working and ensure the AWS platform continues to meet the organisation's evolving technical and business needs.

You'll monitor and optimise AWS environments for performance, reliability and cost using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana and other observability tools, implement AWS security best practice, including IAM, roles, policies and least privilege access.

As a senior member of the team you'll collaborate with software engineering teams and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver effective infrastructure solutions, help shape engineering standards, tooling and ways of working and mentor less experienced engineers, contributing to the development of the wider infrastructure team.

• You have a deep knowledge of AWS
• You have a proven track record delivering large projects / improvements across complex Infrastructure deployments and platforms
• You have good knowledge of security best practices with expertise in implementing and managing CI/CD pipelines
• You're experienced in containerisation using Docker
• You have excellent problem solving and troubleshooting skills
• You have strong collaboration and communication skills for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What's in it for you:

• Salary to £75k
• 25 days holidays in addition to public holidays, carry over flex and festive office closure
• Enhanced parental leave offerings with 6 months of full salary for the primary caregiver and 1 month for the secondary caregiver
• Employee Assistance Programme
• A range of social and team events
