About the company

Join a forward-thinking fintech company leading digital transformation and make a lasting impact on how people manage their financial wellbeing. Lead Platform Engineer (DevOps AWS IaC) London / WFH to £120k Are you a Platform / DevOps technologist with experience of building systems from scratch? You could be progressing your career in a hands-on technical leadership role at a well established consumer facing financial services company that help people to manage debt, as they go through a technical transformation and scale-up following recent investment. As the Lead Platform Engineer you will act as the design authority for the platform and hosting framework, working closely with software engineering teams, the Data Platform Lead, the Quality Engineering Lead and the Enterprise Architect to enable secure, high-velocity delivery. This is a hands-on leadership role - you will design, build and evolve the platform, making pragmatic decisions that ensure security, whilst building up operational excellence.

The platform exists to make the right thing easy: secure by default, observable by default and fast to deploy to and use. Location / WFH: You'll be based in fantastic new offices in London that offer a wide range of facilities including wellness rooms and onsite gym for three days a week with flexibility to work from home twice a week.
