You’ll play a pivotal role in building and evolving our internal developer platform in order to empower our software teams. Your work will impact how our developers use cloud infrastructure, help teams to eliminate infrastructure toil, improve engineering productivity, reinforce security safeguards and constantly strive for greater cost efficiencies in operations.

Automation & Tooling: Develop tools to abstract the complex aspects of the platform from developers to improve developer experience and operational efficiency.
Infrastructure as Code: Use tools like Terraform, Helm and Crossplane to manage and automate provisioning of all cloud infrastructure and champion GitOps best practices.
Monitoring & Observability: Establish robust monitoring and logging foundations collaborating with the wider Site Reliability Engineering Function.
Security & Reliability: Incorporate security best practices, ensure compliance, and participate in the out-of-hours on-call rota to troubleshoot and prevent recurrent issues.
Stakeholder Coordination: Foster strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate upgrades and hold service providers accountable.
About You
Ideally you’ll have
Experience building and shipping production applications.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a curiosity to solve problems.
Experience using cloud platforms like AWS (preferred), Google Cloud, or Azure.
A strong desire to (or experience in) creating and maintaining Kubernetes clusters in production.
A solid foundational understanding of distributed systems.
