More:
This is not just another platform role focused on maintenance. Our business is scaling quickly, and we are still in the process of building our platform foundations. You will have the autonomy to design, implement, and run systems your way, with a clear path to taking ownership of our platform function as it evolves.
Requirements
- You should have experience defining, building, and running CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and the ability to work alongside developers to support and optimize it is essential.
- A strong understanding of automation to reduce manual overheads is important.
- You should have the capability to lead monitoring, performance, and scalability improvements.
- An understanding of how to integrate security and disaster recovery into all deliverables is required.

- Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines, release management, and monitoring tools (Grafana/Azure native).
- Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Bicep).
- Experience with containerized .NET and Node.js applications (Docker).
- Familiarity with WAF, secrets, certificates, and mail relays.
Benefits & conditions
You will benefit from ownership from day one, with the flexibility to set things up according to your vision. This position offers a fast track into leading platform engineering within our organization. We operate on a hybrid setup, with the expectation of you being in Stockport 1-2 days a week, and we offer a competitive salary ranging from £60,000 to £65,000.
If you're a mid-senior engineer who is eager to influence the platform's development rather than just maintain it, this is the opportunity for you.
