The Role
The Core Resource Management (CRM) team is looking for a Platform Software Engineer to help us build and maintain the Kubernetes-powered platform that underpins Anaplan. We’re after someone who loves engineering, is excited by the chance to use Rust to create robust and elegant solutions, and wants to make an impact from day one.
Specifically, you'll be working on a cost optimisation project to track what hosting resources our customersare using and automatically right-size them (either larger or smaller). It's a fast-paced and strategicallyimportant project that we hope excites you as much as it excites us.
Your Impact
* Drive Platform Efficiency: You will design, build, and maintain the automated right-sizing tools thatoptimise Anaplan’s Kubernetes platform, directly impacting our cloud resource usage and drivingstrategic cost savings.
* Deliver High-Quality Systems: You’ll write clean, efficient, and robust Rust code to build highperformance services that are critical to the platform's stability and scalability.
* Champion DevOps & Reliability: You will take ownership of your services throughout their lifecycle—from drafting Helm charts and Jenkins pipelines to setting up alerting, dashboards, and automated testing.
* Shape Engineering Practices: As an engineer, you will influence our technical direction by participating inweekly system design discussions, conducting thorough code reviews, and helping to mentor junior teammembers.
* Collaborate Across Boundaries: You’ll work closely with team members and the wider engineeringcommunity in our York office, helping to align our infrastructure efforts with the broader companystrategy.
Your Skills
* Proficiency in at least one modern backend or systems-level language (e.g., Rust, Go, C++,Python or Java) and a strong enthusiasm for working primarily in Rust.
* Delivery: A track record of delivering complex projects into production.
* Hands-on experience making frequent deployments to live environments. Ideally practicingtrue CICD.
* Observability: Experience implementing and utilising monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworks (e.Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog) to maintain system health and reliability.
* Experience working effectively in cross-functional Agile teams, collaborating closely with productmanagers and other engineering teams.
* Prior experience with platform cost optimisation, performanceprofiling, or capacity planning (FinOps) is a huge plus.
