Job description

As a Release Platform Engineer, you will build the automated guardrails that keep our global development pipelines moving safely, transparently, and at speed.

Full-time

Closes 30/09/2026

The Regulatory Support team provides the critical infrastructure that allows development teams to ship software with confidence. This team builds and maintains the platforms that automate release approvals and software-change auditing, ensuring every deployment is traceable and compliant.
