Job Description

Platform Engineer/Infrastructure Engineer

Remote | Permanent

Are you the sort of engineer who enjoys solving real technical problems, working closely with a small team and helping improve the platform behind a successful SaaS product?

We're working with a growing software business that develops a market-leading platform used by organisations around the world to manage information security, data privacy and regulatory compliance. With customers across more than 100 countries, the business is continuing to invest in both its product and the infrastructure that supports it.

They're now looking for a Platform Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team responsible for the cloud platform that underpins the application. This is a role for someone who enjoys working alongside experienced engineers, sharing ideas and contributing to technical decisions, while also having the confidence to lead infrastructure projects from planning through to delivery.

The Opportunity

You'll play an important part in maintaining and evolving a production platform built on AWS and Kubernetes. Alongside day-to-day platform operations, you'll help modernise existing infrastructure, improve reliability and contribute to projects that support the next stage of the company's growth.

The environment combines modern cloud technologies with an established platform, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys improving systems rather than simply maintaining them.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be involved in a broad range of platform engineering activities, including:

  * Building and maintaining AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.

  * Operating and improving production Kubernetes environments.

  * Supporting platform reliability, performance and security.

  * Investigating production issues and carrying out structured root cause analysis.

  * Delivering infrastructure projects from design through to implementation.

  * Working closely with software engineers to support new features and platform improvements.

  * Contributing to the ongoing modernisation of an established cloud platform.

  * Participating in an on-call rota alongside the wider infrastructure team.

About You

You'll already have experience working with production cloud platforms and enjoy being part of a collaborative engineering team.

We're particularly interested in engineers with experience of:

  * AWS and cloud infrastructure.

  * Kubernetes in production environments.

  * Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code tooling.

  * Helm and containerised applications.

  * Monitoring and observability tools.

  * Diagnosing and resolving production issues.

  * Working with Git as part of a collaborative development process.

Experience with Linux, Bash or Python scripting, Amazon EKS, MySQL, disaster recovery or security-focused environments would be advantageous. AWS or Kubernetes certifications are welcomed but practical experience is valued far more highly than formal qualifications.

The Kind of Person Who Will Enjoy This Role

Technical skills are only part of the picture.

The team is looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, shares knowledge openly and approaches problems with curiosity rather than ego. You'll be comfortable discussing ideas, contributing to technical decisions and supporting colleagues, while also being capable of leading infrastructure projects when the opportunity arises.

This isn't an environment where individuals work in isolation. Success comes from working together, learning from one another and building solutions that are secure, reliable and built to last.

What's On Offer

Alongside the opportunity to work on a modern cloud platform, you'll be joining a business operating in one of the fastest-growing areas of enterprise software. The team offers a supportive, low-ego culture where good ideas are encouraged, learning is supported and engineers have the opportunity to make a visible impact.

In return you'll receive:

  * Remote-first working with optional office access.

  * 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service.

  * Company pension.

  * Employee benefits scheme.

  * Ongoing learning and professional development.

  * Regular company events and collaborative team meet-ups.

If you're looking for a role where you'll work with talented engineers, solve interesting technical challenges and help shape the future of a growing cloud platform, we'd love to hear from you
