## Description

A high growth technology business is looking for a Platform Engineer to help build the infrastructure, tooling and deployment capability behind a genuinely impressive robotics platform operating in live warehouse environments.
This is not a traditional infrastructure role. The business is developing autonomous robotics technology used in real world industrial settings, where cloud infrastructure, internal platforms and edge connected systems all need to work seamlessly together. It is a genuinely interesting engineering challenge, with the platform team playing a key role in making sure software can be deployed quickly, reliably and at scale.
Platform Engineer | Key responsibilities

 * Build and operate cloud infrastructure supporting user-facing applications, internal services and high velocity deployments
 * Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling used by multiple engineering teams
 * Manage containerised environments using Docker and Kubernetes across a multi-cloud setup
 * Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and Terraform Cloud
 * Support monitoring, logging, observability and alerting across production systems
 * Improve reliability, automation, security hardening and overall platform maturity
 * Mentor more junior engineers and help promote DevOps and platform engineering best practice across the team
