About the Role
We’re free thinkers. We’re innovators. We’re #ConsultantsWhoCode. We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Platform Engineer (AWS) who has a passion for platform engineering, to join our engineering team here at EDF. We are seeking someone with passion, skills, and experience to help our AWS Platform team evolve to the next level and truly unlock our application engineering teams.
The opportunity: As a Platform Engineer (AWS), you will play a key role within the AWS Platform Team, which provides and supports the AWS Landing Zone, the secure, automated, and compliant foundation for AWS workloads at EDF.
Our Engineering practice is a collective of multi‑disciplined engineers comprising of generalists and specialists; front‑end, back‑end, full‑stack developers or DevOps and Platform Engineering. We offer opportunities for engineers who want to shape, develop, and grow our engineering practice, whilst developing their own skills, knowledge and career.
We’re evolving our IT landscape from traditional on‑premise monoliths to a collection of scalable, independent micro‑services, enabling us to react to the fast‑paced nature of the energy industry and uncertainty.
Pay, Benefits, and Culture
Starting salary of £63,000 DOE, potential to earn 5% bonus, 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, and a market‑leading pension scheme. Flexible benefits include electric vehicle leasing, enhanced parental leave, health insurance, discounts, and employee pricing.
Flexible working allows you to work from home if you wish, with a suite of IT equipment provided to ensure remote working is comfortable and effective. Our AWS Platform Engineering team can work flexibly from home or the office, balancing the day with personal commitments. We have offices in London, Brighton, Exeter, and Plymouth.
Steve Bowerman, Principal Software Engineer says: "It’s an exciting time. We’ve got a great start‑up culture in a larger organisation, with corporate stability and backing, and real emphasis on being able to affect change is very important for me."
At EDF, everyone’s welcome. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse environment where everyone has a voice and feels confident being themselves. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We aim for an equal gender balance, a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability, and support for social mobility. We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application, adjusting as you need.
What You’ll Be Doing
Our core working methods are based on modern DevOps processes: shift‑left, test automation, SRE, CICD, and an "everything as code" mindset.
* End‑to‑End ownership: lead the charge on solution delivery, backlog management, and design within agile, DevOps‑focused teams.
* Delivery of platform functions, features, and components, utilising agile software development life cycle methods and practices.
* Create well‑designed, testable code that enables automation of test and deployment activity.
* Utilise continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) techniques in developing platform components.
* Integrate components into the broad functional and technical solution landscape, using common standards and patterns.
* Document and maintain platform functionality for it to be understood and utilised by others – including contribution to design artefacts, operating instructions, run‑books, and end‑user material.
* Strong focus on building self‑service, GitOps processes.
* Contribution to wider engineering community direction, tooling, and technologies.
Who You Are
* Experience in the development and support of Cloud Landing Zones, particularly AWS.
* Expertise in at least one server‑side language (ideally Python or NodeJS).
* Experience in source control and CI/CD tooling technologies (e.g. GitHub, Terraform, Azure DevOps).
* Experience in monitoring using tooling technologies (e.g. Dynatrace and CloudWatch).
* Experience with agile collaboration tools such as JIRA and Confluence.
* Openness to work across the team and develop expertise in different areas.
You thrive in an evolving environment where you can contribute to diverse projects and innovate new solutions to business challenges. At EDF, you can experience different teams and feel like you’re in a new job without changing companies.
