Senior Platform Engineer – Cloud & Kubernetes
London - hybrid working model.
A hands-on delivery role building and operating containerised platforms on AWS or Azure. You'll work directly with enterprise clients, owning technical outcomes from architecture through to production.
What you'll do
Design and run Kubernetes-based platforms (EKS/AKS), write infrastructure as code with Terraform, build CI/CD pipelines, implement GitOps workflows, and lead service migrations into production. You'll produce solid documentation and raise engineering standards through the quality of your work — not through management.
What you'll need
Proven experience with microservices architecture, Kubernetes orchestration, cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure), Terraform, Linux administration, scripting, and GitOps tooling (Argo CD/Flux). Must have delivered platforms into production in a client-facing context. Relevant certifications expected.
Nice to have
Helm, Kafka, PostgreSQL, internal developer platforms (e.g. Backstage), multi-cloud experience, Python tooling.
