Application Platforms Engineer

Location: London /Hybrid

Reporting to: Application Platforms Engineering Manager 

The Application Platforms team plays a pivotal role in using cloud technologies to deliver the tools and platforms that support all Rightmove engineering teams. 

The Application Platforms Engineer role covers everything from:

how we build and test code; how, when and where it’s deployed; and how it’s monitored in production environments. 

You will be part of a growing, self-motivated team and can expect to be part of some key projects: 

Defining, building and implementing improvements to our GCP platform and terraform codebase, supporting 150+ microservices, associated messaging and datastore services and other business services. Delivering end-to-end experiences across the entire delivery life cycle by evolving our custom-built tools & processes to support best-in-class engineering teams to deliver our products faster and more reliably.

A typical week as an Application Platforms Engineer might involve:

Working collaboratively to drive the strategy and implementation for the above key projects in a meaningful and measurable way. Sharing design ideas that utilise new cloud technologies with the wider engineering teams, as well as leading individual projects and mentoring team members. Regularly review existing systems and make recommendations on improvements in accordance with cloud best practices. Defining secure development and architectural practices that take into account the needs of all our delivery teams. Working across different GCP services and API’s to deliver reusable modular products. 

We’re looking for someone who:

Can (or is looking to) take a lead role in shaping & driving large-scale application platform projects. Help design, build, operate and optimise our Google Cloud Platform, Terraform codebase and pipelines to enable us to scale the number of teams and services we have without a linear increase in operational overhead. Provide mentorship, training and guidance ensuring engineers adopt best practice for building and operating our cloud platforms. Be a key driver in the migration to and adoption of our new cloud platform. Drive the implementation of DevOps/SRE process and culture where site reliability and software delivery velocity are in harmony.

We are specifically looking for the following background:

Experience of building out containerised application hosting platforms in a cloud environment (ideally GCP) for Java and Node based applications.  Deep hands-on technical experience in the design, build and operation of cloud platforms and infrastructure on GCP and or AWS for production workloads (ideally large-scale websites)  Experience building containers (Docker) and operating orchestration solutions (Kubernetes) and/or ELK clusters. Experience developing infrastructure as code (IAC), building IAC code pipelines and automation, and can articulate and drive best practice across multiple modularised repositories. Experience with traffic management/load balancing/service mesh software. Continuous delivery experience in an agile environment, such as scrum or kanban.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to work across a variety of other technologies including Kafka, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Oracle, Couchbase, Kong and Apigee, so any previous experience is welcome.
