Job Description

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2 days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Platform Development Manager

You’ll oversee the AWS infrastructure and platform development, guiding the Software Development Department and combine technical expertise with strategic decision-making to set training objectives and implement solutions effectively.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

  • Collaborating with the SecOps team to implement and audit security best practices
  • Working with third-party vendors to onboard solutions with DevOps best practices
  • Developing a strategic vision for applications and technologies within the Platform Release Train and the wider Software Development Department
  • Line managing platform developers, including training, development, and performance reviews

What you’ll bring to the role

You will bring a wealth of experience, and a diverse skill set to the role, ensuring effective team management and technical excellence. You’ll also have:

  • Experience in managing a team of developers
  • Strong knowledge in administrating and diagnosing Kafka brokers
  • Proven experience in managing a public cloud platform
  • Expertise in working with microservices and container orchestration
