This is a hands-on engineering role focused on CI/CD, Kubernetes, automation and platform reliability, working across both cloud and on-premise environments.
The Role
You’ll help build and evolve the platforms behind millions of software builds and production workloads, improving the speed, resilience and autonomy of engineering teams.
You'll work closely with software engineers to automate the SDLC, strengthen production reliability and build scalable infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and optimise CI/CD platforms and deployment automation.
- Engineer scalable Kubernetes and container platforms.
- Develop infrastructure and automation using Python/Go and Terraform.

- Proven Infrastructure-as-Code experience, ideally Terraform.
- Experience with high-throughput, distributed systems.
- Strong understanding of observability and production reliability.
- Experience building or supporting REST APIs.
- Comfortable operating across AWS and on-premise environments.
