Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer:

• You are highly experienced in platform engineering (AWS, CI/CD & DevSecOps).
• We are a team of big thinkers, pushing the boundaries in Cyber Security.
• Together we can create industry leading digital solutions that impact millions of customers.

 Do work that matters:

 The role of Senior Platform Engineers is to Design, Build, Run & Evolve tools, infrastructure, templates and capabilities that our other engineers use to deliver business value, and to write code that automates running our infrastructure and environments.

The Cybersecurity Engineering group safeguards the organization by delivering secure, scalable, and high-performing systems that protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data. Our mission is to support cybersecurity objectives through innovative engineering solutions and secure operational practices.

This exciting opportunity is for someone that can bring strong full cycle platform engineering expertise with a focus on learning and developing new skills across cyber security and security engineering.

 See yourself in our team;

As a Platform Engineer in our Automation and Optimisation Centre of Excellence (COE), part of the broader Cyber Engineering function, you will report directly to the COE Lead and support the scalability, reliability, and security of our identity and automation platforms. You’ll contribute to automation and security initiatives across the organisation’s infrastructure, helping to protect platforms, data, and digital assets across both cloud and on-premises environments.

Working in a DevSecOps environment, your focus will be on automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), observability, and embedded security practices. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate automation and optimisation into every stage of the engineering lifecycle, driving operational efficiency and platform resilience.

We’re interested in hearing from people who;

• Are eager to learn and contribute to the design, build, and operation of secure and reliable platforms.
• Enjoy working collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
• Are interested in developing and maintaining automation for infrastructure and environments.
• Take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and scripts.
• Are proactive in identifying and solving problems in platform operations.
• Are willing to participate in incident management and continuous improvement activities.

Tech Skills:

We use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. We don’t expect you to know them all but experience or exposure with some of these (or equivalents) will set you up for success in this team;

• Familiarity with platform engineering concepts, including automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Advanced knowledge of CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or TeamCity.
• Advanced experience with scripting or programming languages (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, or Python).
• Understanding of Windows and/or Linux server environments.
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Ansible).
• Interest in containerisation and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Willingness to learn observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus).
