We’re looking for a hands‑on Infrastructure Platform Engineer to join our online retail tech team. You’ll be designing, building and running the platforms that keep our website, warehouses and delivery operations ticking along. From keeping things secure and scalable to making sure our systems are reliable when customers need us most, your work will play a big part in delivering a smooth, hassle‑free shopping experience every day.
Here’s What You Can Expect To Be Doing
You’ll be responsible for keeping our core infrastructure running smoothly day to day, whether that’s monitoring the health of servers and storage, managing access and permissions, or rolling out upgrades and changes in a safe, well‑controlled way. You’ll work closely with support teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly, helping minimise downtime and keep our systems reliable during peak trading. A big part of the role is also about protecting our data — managing backups across on‑prem and cloud environments, testing restores, and contributing to strong disaster recovery plans so we’re ready for anything.
Alongside this, you’ll design and build scalable, secure infrastructure that supports our growing business. That includes managing and optimising cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, deploying compute, storage and serverless services, and using Infrastructure as Code and automation to keep things consistent and repeatable. You’ll collaborate with engineers across the business, bringing platform expertise to projects, embedding security and compliance best practice, and keeping clear documentation so everyone knows how things work and why.
