Job description

Join a well-established engineering team responsible for one of the most critical container platforms in the organisation - Red Hat OpenShift running on AWS.

You'll work within a collaborative team of five Platform Engineers, supporting and evolving a mature container platform that hosts a range of business-critical customer-facing services. This isn't greenfield, it's a technically rich, high-impact environment where you'll help refine, automate, and modernise an already well-run platform to make it as seamless as possible for developers to consume.

  • Delivering and continuously improving OpenShift platforms on AWS
  • Automating infrastructure delivery using Terraform and GitOps principles
  • Enhancing reliability, performance, and security of the platform
  • Supporting onboarding of new workloads and services
  • Working on projects to make the platform more self-healing and developer-friendly
  • Collaborating closely with DevEx teams and other internal engineering squads

Requirements

Do you have experience in Terraform?, * 3+ years' experience in platform or infrastructure engineering

  • 2+ years with container platforms (OpenShift or Kubernetes)
  • Strong AWS knowledge and Infrastructure as Code skills (Terraform)
  • Good understanding of Linux, scripting (Python / Bash), and automation
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, change and release processes, and agile environments
  • An understanding of regulated environments, as well as governance and security best practices

Whether you come from an operations or development background, you'll bring an engineering mindset and a structured, disciplined approach to delivery.

What's in it for you?

  • A technically mature environment, no firefighting or chaos, just smart engineering
  • Opportunity to work on interesting automation and platform-as-a-product initiatives
  • A collaborative, experienced team with great mentorship opportunities
  • 15% pension, annual bonus, flexible hybrid working, and a genuine focus on employee wellbeing
