Senior Platform Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Design and oversee the core AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt.

• Develop and maintain robust Kubernetes environments, GitOps practices, and observability tools.

• Influence the process by which engineering teams deploy to production, including progressive rollouts, canary deployments, and rapid, secure rollbacks.

• Integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) with policy-as-code, OIDC-based cloud access, secret scanning, and pre-merge controls, in collaboration with our Security team.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to establish best practices for infrastructure, databases, and deployments.

• Continuously enhance CI/CD processes and developer tools.

• Participate in an on-call rotation with the team, supported by the observability and tools you help create.

• We utilize AI-assisted tools (e.g., code generation, debugging, and platform operations). You should either already be comfortable working in this manner or be eager to embrace it.

• Demonstrated ability to enhance developer experience and increase platform adoption across various teams.

• Extensive experience in cloud environments, preferably with AWS.
