Goodlord is scaling, and we’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own and evolve the Azure‑native core of our dual‑cloud platform (Azure & AWS). This isn’t a "stay in your lane" type of role. You’ll be at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and developer experience – ensuring the APIs and serverless systems our customers rely on are rock‑solid, while simultaneously driving our containerisation roadmap as we move toward a more Kubernetes‑native future.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Owning and operating our Azure workloads (Function Apps, Cosmos DB, Event Grid), ensuring they are reliable, scalable, and secure in production.
- Designing and implementing IaC using Terraform to maintain consistent, repeatable environments across dev, staging, and production.
- Driving our containerisation roadmap, building and running Kubernetes workloads in managed cloud environments (AKS/EKS).
- Levelling up our logging and metrics using Datadog and Azure Monitor, and supporting our ISO 27001 compliance by hardening cloud security across identity and networking.
- Experimenting with AI‑driven tooling (like Claude Code) to supercharge platform operations and developer productivity.
- Acting as a technical guide and mentor for other engineers, helping them navigate and get the best out of the platform you’re building.
What You’ll Bring
- Hands‑on production experience with Azure, including services such as API Management, Function Apps, Cosmos DB, or Event Grid.
- Proven use of Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools (e.g. Terraform) in real production environments.
- Hands‑on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in managed cloud platforms.
- Solid understanding of cloud networking, security, and monitoring best practices.
- Ability to script, support CI/CD pipelines, and mentor engineers where needed.
- Coaching and mentoring members of the team.
- Experience from a software engineering background is a big plus.
Why Goodlord?
Our mission is to be the gold standard platform for renting, providing a simple and transparent experience for agents, landlords, and tenants. Goodlord supports a culture of fast iteration, autonomy, and continuous learning.
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
- Owning a significant area of the Azure platform.
- Making a meaningful contribution to our containerisation roadmap.
- Becoming a go‑to technical voice for engineers across the business.
