• 3+ years experience in a senior platform engineer role.
• Experience building and operating enterprise-scale cloud platforms.
• Experience defining platform standards and engineering guardrails

Duties & Responsibilities

Platform Engineering and Automation

• Design, build, configure and operate secure, reliable and reusable engineering platform capabilities.
• Translate approved platform architecture and engineering standards into working platform products, automation and self-service services.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment and operational activities using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices.
• Develop reusable templates, modules and platform components that reduce duplication across engineering teams.

Developer Platform and Experience

• Build and maintain developer self-service capabilities, engineering templates, service catalogue integrations and golden paths.
• Enable engineering teams to provision environments and deploy applications with minimal dependence on central teams.
• Work directly with engineering teams to identify delivery friction and continuously improve the developer experience.
• Maintain clear technical documentation and usage guidance for platform capabilities.

CI/CD and Software Delivery

• Build and maintain standardised CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Embed automated testing, security scanning, quality controls and policy enforcement into engineering workflows.
• Support safe deployment patterns, environment promotion, rollback and recovery.
• Improve the repeatability, speed and reliability of software delivery.

Cloud and Runtime Platforms

• Engineer and operate cloud, container and Kubernetes platform capabilities.
•  Implement secure cloud foundations, networking, identity, access and environment configurations in line with approved architecture.
• Monitor platform capacity, performance, availability and cost, and implement improvements whererequired.
• Maintain platform components through upgrades, patching and lifecycle management.

Reliability, Observability and Security

• Build observability into platform capabilities using standard logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards andalerts.
• Define and implement platform service-level indicators and operational health measures.
• Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis and the engineering of permanent corrective actions.
• Embed security controls, secrets management, access controls and compliance guardrails into the platform by default.
• Reduce recurring operational work through automation and engineering.

Technical Leadership and Collaboration

• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to platform engineers and delivery teams.
• Contribute to platform design decisions, technical reviews, engineering standards and the platformroadmap.
• Collaborate with Architecture, Software Engineering, Security and Production Management to ensureplatform capabilities are usable, supportable and aligned with organisational standards.
• Evaluate new platform technologies through practical prototyping and evidence-based recommendations.

Competencies

Success will be measured through:

•  Increased adoption of standard platform capabilities, reusable components and golden paths.
• Reduced time to provision environments, onboard engineers and establish new application services.
• Increased percentage of infrastructure, configuration and deployments managed through code and automation.
• Reduced manual platform requests, engineering toil and duplicated platform solutions.
• Improved deployment frequency, lead time for change, deployment success and recovery time.
• Achievement of agreed platform availability, performance, security and service-level objectives.
• Improved observability coverage and reduced recurrence of platform-related incidents.
• Positive feedback from engineering teams on platform usability, reliability and developer experience.
• Platform changes delivered in line with agreed engineering standards, security controls and operational readiness requirements.
