• Create and maintain standards and ways of working that enable us to manage key non-functional requirements, such as security and cost optimisation.

• Collaborate with product engineers to understand their pain points and prioritise the platform engineering backlog.


• Participate in architecture design sessions to ensure our platform capabilities are aligned with business goals.


• Enable product engineers to build on the platform successfully through collaborating with teams, running knowledge sharing sessions and maintaining clear documentation.


• Supervise and mentor a team of IT professionals, fostering a collaborative environment and ensuring continuous skill development.


• Communicate effectively with stakeholders across the organization to identify needs, propose solutions, and provide updates on IT initiatives.


• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends to recommend and implement innovative solutions that provide a competitive edge.



What we would like from you….

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or demonstratable knowledge of infrastructure and automation related technologies.


• Experience in a similar role at a company with a distributed cloud architecture.


• Experience with containerisation and Kubernetes


• Experience implementing effective CICD pipelines, along with the associated scripting and automation skills.


• You know what good platform engineering looks like and can help us shape the outcomes for this role.


• Knowledge of DevSecOps and how to create secure delivery pipelines.


• Ability to make pragmatic, risk-based decisions that balance the commercial objectives of the business with non-functional requirements of the technology platform.


• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
