AXA is embarking on its most radical and ambitious change programme in the history of its Healthcare business. Driven by a changing UK health landscape, the growth in the (preventative) Wellbeing sector, and the need for radical simplification, we are uniting several businesses internally to produce a stronger offering than ever before in our mission to empower people to be the best version of themselves.
As a Platform Engineer, you will take ownership of our mission to evolve and build our new Digital Platform such that it is performant at scale, secure and compliant with both internal and industry regulations, and meets availability requirements. In addition, you’ll work on how change is managed through our technology systems to ensure we have optimal release frequency, lead time for change, change failure rates, and mean time to resolve.
At AXA, we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team, and our customers. You'll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients, or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
What you'll be doing:
1. Document existing processes and automate those using software you write yourself, and/or using third-party software tools
2. Build, operate, maintain, and work with Engineering and Architecture, optimizing all of our Cloud Infrastructure including our PaaS infrastructure in Azure, and our SaaS platform components such as Salesforce
3. Work with product engineering teams on recommendations for development changes
4. Liaise with internal service and product teams to improve speed and reliability in end-to-end solutions and CICD processes
5. Collaborate with information security teams to ensure security policies are efficiently implemented
6. Design, build, operate, monitor, and alert on technology for large, complex multi-site B2C and B2B applications
7. Create comprehensive documentation and software actions that are repeatable
8. Improve and automate operational processes like deployments, upgrades, and workflows
9. Trace issues across systems, working with developers to diagnose root causes
10. Work with internal customers of your SRE products to ensure lifecycle management
11. Operate within an agile team, adhering to Scrum or Kanban principles

2. Strong experience with a well-known cloud PaaS, preferably Azure
3. Familiarity with Linux and shell scripting
4. Proficiency in programming languages such as C#, PowerShell, JavaScript, Python
5. Experience with infrastructure platforms and services like Azure, Nginx, HAProxy, Consul/etcd, Splunk
6. Experience with containerization systems like Kubernetes and Docker
7. Knowledge of Azure DevOps and multi-stage pipelines for managing large-scale software estates
