Bristol, United Kingdom Vertical Aerospace Full time

At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The VX4, our eVTOL (‘electric vertical take-off and landing’) zero-emissions aircraft, will set a new safety standard for how we navigate the sky.
instead, we want to redefine aerospace best practices.
We are growing quickly from a prototype business to a scaling SME, and the next few years will be critical to our success and our ambitious goals of having the VX4 in service by 2030.
As a Platform Engineer, you will join a team dedicated to building and operating the digital foundations that underpin our aircraft, engineering platforms, and business systems.
A typical day could range from designing and automating cloud infrastructure in Azure, to improving the reliability and resilience of our hybrid environment, to enhancing our security posture through vulnerability mitigation and compliance activities. You may be developing infrastructure-as-code in Terraform, performing disaster recovery testing, working with Active Directory and Hyper-V teams, or collaborating with engineering functions to support their compute and platform needs.
Take ownership of the security posture, resilience, and reliability of our platforms, including vulnerability mitigation, configuration hardening, and monitoring.
Maintain and modernise our hybrid infrastructure spanning Azure cloud services, on-premise Hyper-V servers, and Microsoft Active Directory.
Design, automate, and operate cloud services across Azure (and future AWS workloads) using Terraform, Azure DevOps, and scripting languages.
Contribute to the development of a modern, multi-cloud, hybrid platform strategy.
Strong experience with Azure cloud services and infrastructure management, including Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets, Container Apps/Instances, AKS, Azure Storage, and Azure Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL).
Experience administering Hyper-V, Linux, and Microsoft Active Directory environments.
Hands-on experience with Terraform, Azure DevOps, and scripting (PowerShell, Python, Bash).
Experience with backup, recovery, and DR/BCP testing.
Experience with Azure High Performance Compute (HPC) or Slurm workload scheduling.
Experience building or supporting developer platforms (CI/CD tooling, environment automation, internal developer portals).
Database experience (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL).
Strong understanding of network fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, VLANs, routing).
Familiarity with AWS or multi-cloud architectures.
Working at Vertical isn't your average role but for those seeking a challenge, a flexible, supportive organisation and an incredible team; 26 days holiday, plus bank holiday
~5 extra days holiday when you get married or enter a civil partnership
