Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering team building a brand-new internal hosting platform based on Red Hat OpenShift. This is an opportunity to play a key role in modernising enterprise infrastructure rather than simply maintaining existing environments.

You’ll work alongside architects, platform engineers and delivery teams to help design, build and scale a next-generation private cloud platform supporting critical business services.

What you’ll be doing

  • Build and deploy a new enterprise hosting platform based on Red Hat OpenShift.
  • Support a large-scale infrastructure transformation programme.
  • Work closely with architects, platform engineers and delivery teams.
  • Help improve platform scalability, resilience and operational efficiency.
  • Contribute to infrastructure automation and platform engineering best practices.
  • Support ongoing platform enhancements as the environment continues to evolve.

Requirements

  • Red Hat OpenShift
  • Kubernetes
  • Platform Engineering
  • Infrastructure Engineering
  • Enterprise infrastructure deployments

Desirable Experience

  • Ansible
  • Infrastructure automation
  • Enterprise networking
  • Bare metal infrastructure
  • Private cloud environments
  • Large-scale infrastructure transformation projects

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has strong hands-on platform engineering experience.
  • Can quickly get up to speed and become productive within an established engineering team.
  • Enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges.
  • Has worked within enterprise-scale environments.
  • Is comfortable working in fast-moving delivery teams.
