What You’ll Do
- As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll showcase your expertise by driving technical direction, setting the technical strategy for deploying new solutions in challenging environments and enhancing existing platforms. You embrace the "MVP" approach, designing & building incrementally and learning quickly from failures. You love tinkering and discovering innovative solutions. You're comfortable setting technical direction, eliciting ideas from both your team and our customers, and confident managing and supporting production systems, balancing reliability, performance, and operational excellence in live environments.
- We believe in using the right tools and technologies to deliver the best outcomes for our customers. While expertise in every tool isn't required, we value experience with similar technologies and an understanding of the problems they solve. Knowledge of GitHub and GitHub Actions, Terraform, Kubernetes, Bash would be desirable, along with all of your known DevOps technologies and tools, coupled with experience working within a variety of Cloud based platforms.
- You'll join a small, high-performing team that supports you from day one and throughout your journey with us. The challenges you'll tackle are unique, whether due to security needs or location constraints, offering you a chance to make a significant impact.
- We are committed to your professional growth, offering continuous learning opportunities, mentorship, and the chance to work with cutting-edge technologies. Your development is our priority, and we provide the time and support you need to thrive and advance in your career.
- What We’re Looking For
- We value people who take ownership, think critically, and enjoy working as part of a collaborative team tackling complex challenges. You don’t need to tick every box, but you should apply if:
- You care about customer outcomes, and you want to know and understand who we work with.
- You love finding new ways to solve problems.
- You’re comfortable working in a team that deals with ambiguity.
- You have experience operating production environments supporting live users.
- Just as important are curiosity, strong problem solving ability, and the motivation to continuously improve how technology is designed and delivered.
