Derby, United Kingdom Xpertise Recruitment Full time

Head of Platform – £95,000 to £105,000 – Hybrid (2 days in Office)

Xpertise are partnering with an innovative company seeking a Head of Platform to lead a crucial transformation project: migrating services from monolithic architecture to cloud-native solutions on AWS. This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly experienced DevOps Engineer or experienced Platform Engineer ready to step up into a leadership role, with mentorship from an experienced CTO.


The Role:

As Head of Platform, you will lead a team of 4-5 engineers, driving the platform’s evolution to cloud-native services. This role is initially hands-on (80/20 split), transitioning to a more managerial focus (20/80) as the platform matures. You’ll oversee:

  • Rewriting legacy services into AWS-native solutions using Lambda, S3, and event frameworks.
  • Developing infrastructure as code (IaaS) using Terraform or similar tools.
  • Building and optimizing an AWS-native data logging and platform development environment.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Technical Leadership: Own the implementation of cloud-native platform development.
  • Team Leadership: Coach and mentor a growing team, fostering best practices in engineering and project delivery.
  • Collaboration with CTO: Act as the CTO’s number two, contributing to strategy, OKR planning, and delivery.
  • Hands-on Development: Get hands-on early in the project with an eye to scaling back as the team grows.


What We’re Looking For:

  • A hunger for growth: Ideal for someone looking to step up.
  • Leadership potential: Willingness to learn how to manage OKRs and people.
  • AWS Experience: Strong background in cloud platforms, particularly AWS.
  • Experience migrating monolithic applications to microservices.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code (IaaS) such as Terraform (or similar).
  • Ability to recognize and refactor bad code into scalable cloud services.


Why Join Us?

  • Work closely with an experienced CTO in a growing company.
  • An informal hybrid working policy with 2 days in the office (flexible if local).
  • An opportunity to shape the future of the platform and grow into a senior leadership role.


If you’re excited by the opportunity to lead a cloud transformation and develop as a leader, apply now or contact us for more details
