Join our Engineering Acceleration Team within the Technology & Innovation Group and play a critical role in enhancing our cloud-native infrastructure and developer platform capability.

We are looking for a Platform Engineer to join the team to empower software and engineering teams to deliver high-performance, scalable, and secure systems by improving the way we build, deploy, and run applications across Kubernetes and hybrid cloud environments. 

As a Platform Engineer in this team, you will: 

  • Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes clusters across on-prem and cloud environments. 

  • Define and implement best practices for container orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, and continuous delivery. 

  • Ensure the scalability, security, and reliability of our software services in your environments. 

Responsibilties:

Platform Infrastructure Management 

  • Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS/EKS/on-prem) across hybrid-cloud and virtualised environments. 

  • Define and implement best practices around scaling, security, high availability, and tenancy. 

  • Enable application delivery through GitOps workflows and Helm-based deployments. 

Cloud Infrastructure & Automation 

  • Use Terraform and Helm to automate provisioning and configuration of infrastructure. 

  • Build reusable modules and automation for developer and infrastructure teams. 

  • Contribute to shared pipelines, templates, and documentation to enable self-service. 

  • Develop and maintain Cloud Operators for managing application lifecycles and platform services. 

  • Support secure and compliant provisioning of services and resources across multiple environments. 

CI/CD and Software Delivery Enablement 

  • Extend and manage CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket Pipeline or Azure DevOps. 

  • Support build, packaging, deployment, and lifecycle management processes. 

  • Help teams adopt modern delivery practices through tooling and coaching. 

  • Join wider Application Development squads to accelerate delivery of key projects. 

Observability, Site Reliability 

  • Operate production workloads with an SRE mindset: measure reliability, define SLOs, and reduce toil through automation. 

  • Contribute to on-call readiness, incident response processes, and root cause analysis. As well as being available for escalated out of hours calls where needed. 

  • Define and improve availability, performance, and scalability through platform-level metrics and service reviews. 

  • Apply security best practices for Kubernetes (RBAC, network policies, secrets). 

  • Work with internal teams to ensure audit, compliance, and cost controls are met. 

  • Support secure identity, access, and secrets management integrations. 

 

Skills and experience required:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related field. 
  • Collaborative and adaptable with a platform mindset. 

  • Strong interest in enabling engineering teams through infrastructure and automation. 

  • Confident communicator who can explain infrastructure decisions to developers and non-specialists. 

  • Ability to work well across teams and disciplines, especially in high-performance environments. 

  • Self-motivated and pragmatic with a continuous improvement approach.

Experience with:

  • Kubernetes provisioning and lifecycle management (AKS, EKS, on-prem) 

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm) 

  • Containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Helm, Operators) 

  • Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) 

  • CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions) 

  • GitOps (e.g., ArgoCD, FluxCD) 

  • Monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) 

  • Scripting and automation (Python, Bash, etc.) 

Exposure to the following would be beneficial: 

  • Multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architectures 

  • Security practices for cloud-native platforms 

  • Cost optimisation strategies in cloud deployments 

  • Reliability-focused engineering (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets) 

  • Incident response practices and post-incident reviews 

  • Supporting production systems and on-call readiness
