Nice to have… * Experience with data technologies and processes, such as streaming and batch processes and large data storage systems. ## Description You'll be working within our Intelligence Platform Core team, responsible for underlying platform infrastructure across our new Data & ML Platforms within JET. Within the past year we've built new Data & ML Platforms on AWS and the Intelligence Platform Core team sits at the heart of both of them, creating self service experiences for running data and ML workflows without exposing the underlying complexity of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure. We aim to provide a scalable, reliable and seamless platform experience for our users. You'll be the second full time engineer within this team, joining with the opportunity to shape our Platform vision and team culture as we grow and expand. The platform team also works closely with our Data and ML Platform teams on an advisory basis, providing best practises and advice where needed. * Please note that this position is located in Bristol (3 days a week from our Bristol office and 2 days working from home) These are some of the key components to the position: You will contribute to both the design and implementation of the platform: * Collaborate on the design and implementation of platform capabilities using Kubernetes-native patterns and event-driven architectures. * Drive the adoption of platform engineering principles, building reusable abstractions and self-service workflows for internal users. * Design and implement Kubernetes controllers/operators in Go to automate infrastructure and application lifecycle management. * Mentor engineers and contribute to growing platform engineering practices across our pillar in the Data and ML Platform teams. * Collaborate across teams to align on platform interfaces, abstractions, and shared infrastructure patterns. * Support the hiring of new engineers as we expand the team, setting the bar on quality of code and collaboration. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [From Pipelines to Platforms: How DevOps Automation Becomes a Force Multiplier at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1946-from-pipelines-to-platforms-how-devops-automation-becomes-a-force-multiplier-at-scale) ## Related Articles - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
