AI Disclosure We use AI tools (Google Gemini) to help our team source and review applications for roles with a high volume of applications. These tools assist our recruiters in identifying great talent but do not replace human decision-making. At Depop, every hiring decision is made by a human. Role The Platform Enablement team builds the foundations that help every engineering team at Depop ship faster, safer, and more consistently. We own Depop's developer platform - from service catalog and GitHub compliance tooling to AI platform foundations, incident management workflows, and the internal frameworks teams rely on to operate their services. As an engineer on this team, you'd be working directly with Kubernetes (EKS) and AWS - getting hands-on with real infrastructure problems alongside a team that treats internal engineers as its users. Day to day, that means contributing to our Kubernetes estate, building and improving AWS infrastructure with Terraform/IaC, helping embed best practices across the engineering org, and building tooling that reduces friction for the ~300 microservices Depop runs in production. The role blends infrastructure engineering with a platform mindset. Success isn't just uptime - it's measured by how confidently product engineers can build, deploy, and operate their services on the foundations we provide., Platform & Developer Tooling * Contribute to the development and maintenance of Depop's internal developer platform, including service catalog tooling (Backstage), GitHub compliance automation, and AI platform foundations * Build and maintain integrations between platform services and engineering workflows * Write clear, well-tested infrastructure-as-code and automation under the guidance of senior engineers Kubernetes & AWS Estate * Get hands-on with Depop's Kubernetes (EKS) estate: deploy, configure, and maintain workloads, manage resource allocation, and contribute to cluster health * Build and improve AWS infrastructure using Terraform/IaC - covering compute, networking, IAM, and storage patterns used across the engineering org * Contribute to platform guardrails and tooling that help product engineers deploy safely and consistently on AWS and Kubernetes * Help identify and address gaps in our AWS estate - covering security posture, cost hygiene, and operational standards - working alongside senior platform engineers * Build reusable Terraform/IaC patterns and contribute to the standards the wider engineering organisation follows * Collaborate with product engineering teams and across the platform group on shared infrastructure patterns and standards Reliability & Cross-team Enablement * Support reliability workflows including incident management tooling (incident.io), observability integrations, and post-incident improvements * Work closely with product engineering teams to understand their needs and feed that into platform improvements Growth * Take ownership of well-scoped tasks, delivering to agreed standards with support from your team * Participate in code review and contribute to the team's engineering culture
