Job description

We are currently working with a growing technology business in the healthcare software space who are looking to add a Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer to their engineering team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building reliable infrastructure, improving deployment processes, and working in a modern cloud-native environment.

The business is investing heavily in new cloud-based products and platforms, and they're looking for an engineer who can help scale and improve the environments that support both development and production systems.

The Role:

You'll be working closely with software engineering teams to:

  • Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Support Kubernetes-based environments and containerised applications
  • Enhance platform reliability, monitoring, and observability
  • Troubleshoot production and infrastructure issues
  • Contribute to infrastructure security and operational best practices
  • Drive continuous improvement across tooling and platform operations

This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership and the opportunity to influence how platforms are built and operated moving forward.

Tech Environment:

The stack includes technologies such as:

  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • GitOps / Argo CD
  • Bitbucket & Bamboo
  • MongoDB / PostgreSQL
  • Kafka
  • OpenSearch
  • Bash / PowerShell scripting
  • Cloud infrastructure

They're open to candidates from DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, Cloud Engineering, or strong Infrastructure backgrounds.

Requirements

  • Commercial experience in a DevOps, Platform, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering role
  • Strong Linux administration skills
  • Experience with CI/CD and deployment automation
  • Exposure to cloud-hosted infrastructure
  • Kubernetes/container experience
  • Scripting/automation experience
  • Understanding of monitoring, logging, and operational support

Experience with GitOps, Argo CD, Kafka, or database platforms would be beneficial but isn't essential.

Benefits & conditions

  • A competitive salary and benefits package
  • Modern engineering environment
  • Strong focus on automation and cloud-native technologies
  • Stable and growing business
  • Meaningful products used within healthcare
  • Supportive technical culture with genuine progression opportunities
  • Good balance of project work and operational engineering
