Looking for a opportunity, where you can lead engineers and still get stuck into real engineering challenges? Well.. this is the role for you
You’ll be joining a global organisation, but within a close knit engineering unit of around 300 Platform Engineers across the UK, giving you the backing of a major player with the autonomy to actually shape how things are built.
You’ll be part of a Platform Engineering Centre of Excellence, helping deliver and evolve critical public sector services at national scale. This means designing secure, cloud native platforms across AWS, building out multi account landing zones, scaling Kubernetes environments that are the largest in Europe and modernising legacy systems into microservices architectures that are built to last and the much more
Not only that they genuinely invest in their people. There’s structured learning from day one, a dedicated career coach, access to a huge range of training resources, and full funding for certifications like CKA, CKAD and CKS, with clear support to keep progressing. They've even helped 260 out of the 300 platform engineers gain the CKA cert which is the most from anyone company so you're in good hands
They’re looking for Platform Engineers across England with experience in:
Cloud – AWS at scale
Kubernetes & container platforms in production (EKS)
Infrastructure as Code – Terraform
CI/CD & automation – GitHub Actions, Jenkins or similar
Observability & reliability – Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
Platform thinking – internal developer platforms, self service tooling
Leadership – mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction
In return, you’ll work on meaningful systems, lead strong engineering teams, and shape how modern platforms are delivered at scale, all while continuing to grow your own skill set.
If you’re ready to take ownership, push modern engineering forward and make a real impact, this could be the role for you. Apply below or drop me a message on Ethan.farrell@linuxrecruit.co.uk
