Our journey
For several years, we have been building a system to replace the incumbent 3rd party digital and retail platforms. The next leg of our journey sees us moving to a true omnichannel platform and launching in new countries. To achieve this, we will focus on being a product-driven organisation, scaling our platform globally and transforming our architecture – to bring differentiation and innovation to our customers.
Job Purpose
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Lead Platform Engineer to spearhead the design, development, and management of our platform infrastructure. This role is pivotal in driving efficiency, scalability, and reliability across our technology stack, with a focus on enhancing developer experience, accelerating delivery pipelines, and ensuring operational excellence.
As the Lead Platform Engineer, you will be responsible for leading a high-performing team, setting technical direction, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to align platform capabilities with business goals.

- Drive adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools such as Terraform, Ansible and scripting languages.
- Ensure the platform adheres to best practices in scalability, performance and cost efficiency.
- Developer Experience (DevEx):
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines to accelerate software delivery.
- Develop self-service capabilities and tools to enhance developer productivity.
- Advocate for best practices in application observability, debugging and monitoring.
- Operational Excellence:
- Lead efforts in improving platform reliability, resilience and disaster recovery capabilities.
- Establish and monitor SLAs, SLOs and SLIs for platform services.
- Manage incident response processes, ensuring rapid resolution and root cause analysis.
- Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:
- Collaborate with engineering, product and security teams to align platform capabilities with organizational needs.
- Communicate progress, challenges and successes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience
Essentials:
- Expertise in Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Helm).
- Strong proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Advanced knowledge of CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or ArgoCD.
- Hands-on experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic.
- Proficiency in programming/scripting languages (e.g., Python, Go, Bash).
- Deep understanding of networking, security, and zero-downtime deployment strategies.
- Proven experience in platform engineering, DevOps or related roles with a track record of delivering large-scale, resilient platforms.
- Experience leading and mentoring engineering teams.
- Self-motivated, with excellent problem-solving skills and a drive for improvement.
Desirables:
- Experience of building or supporting services on AWS or VMWare.
