Job description

Platform Manager (AWS) / London or Leeds (Hybrid) / up to £90,000

We’re looking for an experienced Platform Manager to take full ownership of a mission‑critical, cloud‑native platform transforming the way the UK housing market operates. You’ll lead the UK Platform Team, drive incident response, ensure stability, and champion observability and service governance – all while collaborating with global technology teams.

Opportunities like this are rare: you’ll help bring a proven digital housing platform to the UK, building the operational model from the ground up, setting standards, and shaping how the market works for years to come. If you thrive in platform operations, service delivery, and incident leadership – and want to make a real impact in a high‑profile environment – this is your chance to lead a modern platform at the cutting edge of financial technology and help change an entire industry.

What do we need from you?

• Proven experience in Platform Operations, leading on platform reliability
• Hands‑on familiarity with:
  • AWS
  • Linux
  • Terraform
  • CI/CD pipelines
• Monitoring/observability tech such as Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, New Relic, PagerDuty
• Basic diagnostics using SQL/PostgreSQL
• Strong background managing P1 and P2 incidents
• Ability to lead small teams
• Exposure to risk, audit, DR/BCP, and working within regulated environments (FCA/PRA ideal, but not essential)
• Clear communication skills to collaborate with engineering, security, and senior stakeholders

Role Overview

You will lead the UK Platform Team, ensuring stable, secure, and high‑performing platform operations. This includes incident leadership, platform monitoring, service governance, and alignment with UK regulatory expectations. You’ll act as the UK operational bridge between local and global engineering and service teams.

Key Focus Areas

• Own UK platform operations end‑to‑end – from daily stability and observability to releases, patching, and service transitions.
• Lead major incidents with confidence, driving fast technical triage, clear comms, and rapid service restoration.
• Lift platform performance by owning SLAs/KRIs, chairing UK‑Global ops forums, and managing key vendors.
• Shape technical excellence through smart monitoring, alerting, dashboards, DR/BCP readiness, and close collaboration with Engineering, Security, and Customer Support.
• Build and lead a high‑performing Platform Team, setting culture and coaching engineers.
• Protect platform resilience by maintaining risk controls, supporting audits, and ensuring compliance with FCA/PRA expectations.

What’s in it for you?

• High‑impact platform ownership
• Opportunity to shape the platform capability from the ground up, while providing global exposure
• Work at the cutting edge of technology, transforming the way the UK housing market operates for years to come
• Work in a modern cloud‑native environment (AWS/Terraform/observability stack)
• Hybrid Leeds or London – working out as roughly 20‑25 office days per year
• Up to £90,000

Applications for the role will close by Friday 28th November. If this role is of interest and you’d like to find out more, please get in touch with Dominic Brown / send your CV.
