Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Are you ready to join our Global Cloud Platforms team? At Specsavers, we're on a mission to change lives through better sight and hearing and our global cloud platform is a critical part of how we deliver that. We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our Global Cloud Services team and help us build, scale, and optimise the infrastructure that underpins everything we do.

This is your opportunity to work at the core of our technology ecosystem. You'll be designing and delivering resilient, scalable, and secure platform services that support our global operations. From automating infrastructure with Terraform to managing multi-cloud environments and driving platform performance, your work will directly impact how our teams build, deploy, and run applications. You'll collaborate with engineering, QA, and operations teams to ensure our platforms are robust, efficient, and future-ready.

We're looking for a platform engineer who thrives on solving complex infrastructure challenges. You'll bring deep experience with Azure and other public cloud platforms, and you'll be confident working with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and containerised environments and MACH architecture. You'll know how to build reusable platform components, enforce governance and security standards, and continuously improve performance and reliability. If you've got a passion for automation, a strong grasp of DevOps tooling, and the ability to mentor others while influencing technical direction, you'll fit right in.

So, are you ready to engineer the platform that powers Specsavers globally? If you're looking for a role where you can innovate, lead, and make a real impact on a global scale, we'd love to hear from you. Join us and help build a world-class platform that supports better outcomes for millions of people.
