## Description

Our client is an innovative SaaS provider that supports healthcare professionals across the UK. They're looking for a DevOps / Platform Engineer to help shape and evolve the underlying platform that powers their products and services.

This is not a traditional operational DevOps role. They're seeking an engineer with a strong development, platform engineering, or SRE mindset who can take emerging product requirements and design scalable, automated, and resilient platform solutions to support future growth.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team where you'll have a direct impact on platform architecture, reliability, automation, and long-term technical direction.

What You'll Be Doing

 * Design, build, and evolve the platform infrastructure that supports business-critical applications and services.
 * Collaborate closely with development teams to understand new features and determine the most effective way to support, scale, and operate them.
 * Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code, configuration management, and automation frameworks.
 * Drive platform scalability, reliability, and performance through engineering best practices and SRE principles.
 * Architect and implement solutions that improve developer experience, deployment efficiency, and platform resilience.
 * Enhance Kubernetes-based environments, ensuring they can support future growth and evolving business requirements.
