Job description

Please note we are unable to support VISA and sponsorship for this role so you must have the right to work in the UK. This is a permanent role and we prefer a hybrid working model; we are flexible with remote working as long as you can meet with the team in our London studio in-person now and then.

At Framestore’s Oscar-winning Technology team, innovation is at the heart of what we do, whether this be developing new techniques, new ideas or creative new ways to tell our clients’ stories. Underpinning all of this is a long tradition of research, technology and development - from engineering our bespoke software solutions to gaining early access to bleeding-edge technology and forging vibrant partnerships with leading academic and scientific institutions.

Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.

The Role

This is a senior engineering role focused on taking a modern, cloud-forward approach to platform development. You will work on a greenfield, AI-driven SaaS platform, building modern tools that bridge state-of-the-art technology with Framestore's world-class film making and media production workflows. You will help deploy, scale, and secure cloud-native serverless infrastructure to support our generative AI SaaS platform and latest products. Beyond hands-on cloud orchestration, you will focus heavily on developer enablement—empowering the entire team to ship valuable features to production with high velocity and reliability. Working within an agile environment alongside artists, pipeline teams, and systems teams, you will design scalable cloud solutions, embed robust enterprise security practices, and enhance deployment pipelines as the platform grows.

What you’ll do

• - Provision, manage, and scale secure, high-availability cloud infrastructure using Terraform and modern orchestration tools following enterprise security standards.
• - Drive developer enablement by building, optimizing, and maintaining powerful CI/CD deployment pipelines to streamline developer workflows and increase overall delivery velocity.
• - Architect and efficiently scale cloud-native serverless services and execution pipelines to support generative AI SaaS platform workflows and external clients.
• - Embed robust enterprise cloud security practices, ensuring comprehensive data protection, secure network topologies, and compliance as the platform scales.
• - Implement and enhance comprehensive platform telemetry, observability, logging, and monitoring systems to guarantee high system reliability and performance.
