Anson McCade is working with a leading technology services provider undergoing a major cloud transformation and scaling its platform engineering capability across a variety of UK programmes. We are seeking Platform Engineers at multiple levels who thrive in complex delivery environments, and who bring a mix of engineering depth, cloud tooling knowledge, and a consultancy mindset.

We're looking for candidates with: Strong experience working in or delivering to enterprise-scale environments

Solid scripting and integration skills
Ability to explain complex technology concepts to both technical and business stakeholders
A proven consultancy mindset: adaptable, delivery-focused, and comfortable with ambiguity

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, delivery-focused organisation with real scale, high-end clients, and an environment that invests heavily in people, certifications, and technical progression.
