SR2 are supporting a high-growth technology company that's looking to hire an experienced Platform Engineer to help scale the infrastructure behind a cloud-native Saa S platform.

Working closely with senior engineers, you'll play a key role in designing, building and evolving a modern platform that supports a growing product and engineering team.

This is a hands‑on position where you'll have plenty of opportunity to influence architecture, improve developer experience and drive automation across the platform.

  • What you'll be doing
  • Designing, building and maintaining scalable cloud infrastructure, primarily on GCP
  • Managing and improving Kubernetes environments to ensure reliability and performance
  • Building Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Terragrunt and Argo CD
  • Developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using modern tooling such as Git Hub Actions
  • Working with technologies including Postgre SQL, Mongo DB, Redis, Kafka and Elasticsearch to support a distributed platform
  • Collaborating closely with software engineers, improving deployment processes and developer experience
  • Monitoring, troubleshooting and continuously improving platform performance, security and scalability
  • Contributing to architectural decisions and engineering best practice across the platform

About you

  • You'll have experience building and supporting cloud-native platforms and be comfortable working with Kubernetes, Terraform and modern Dev Ops practices.

You'll ideally have commercial experience with GCP.

  • You'll also bring experience with Go or Python, a strong understanding of distributed systems and microservices, and enjoy automating infrastructure wherever possible.
  • Any experience with observability tooling, AI or machine learning infrastructure, or multi-region cloud deployments would be a bonus, but isn't essential.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact, work with modern technologies and help shape the future of a growing engineering platform, we'd love to hear from you.
