We're seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to work across multiple delivery squads within our TSS Engineering Chapter. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, Dev Ops, Security Engineering and AWS architecture.

You’ll take ownership of complex cross-functional initiatives across CI/CD, container orchestration, automation and cloud governance, while helping to establish engineering standards and best practices. As a technical specialist rather than a people manager, you’ll also mentor engineers, share expertise, and help build capability across the chapter.

Working closely with engineering communities in areas such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Identity and Cloud Architecture, you’ll play a key role in promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing and technical excellence across teams.

No two weeks will look the same in this role. You’ll work across multiple squads, supporting a range of technical challenges and priorities. One week you may be architecting a Kubernetes upgrade with the Platform team, the next helping improve observability across Cloud Infrastructure, or partnering with Dev Sec Ops  on secrets management and security controls.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys variety, can move confidently between technical domains, and sees broad exposure as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Design, implement and improve AWS infrastructure, including networking, IAM, security controls and container platforms such as Kubernetes. You’ll contribute to technically complex initiatives spanning infrastructure, CI/CD, automation, identity management and cloud governance, ensuring solutions remain secure, scalable and compliant.

Help build engineering capability across the Chapter by mentoring colleagues, facilitating knowledge sharing and promoting best practices. You’ll contribute to communities of practice in areas such as Infrastructure-as-Code, Kubernetes, Identity and Cloud Architecture, helping teams adopt modern approaches and develop their technical expertise.

Work with teams to optimise cloud spend, improve observability, and establish effective monitoring and alerting. You’ll help balance innovation with operational reliability, security and regulatory requirements.

Contribute to architecture decisions, engineering standards and platform strategy. You’ll help translate business needs into practical technical solutions and support engineers in understanding how infrastructure, platform, identity and security capabilities work together.

Security will be a key consideration in everything you do. Working closely with Cyber Engineering, you’ll help establish secure-by-default patterns, implement least-privilege access controls, and build compliance and audit requirements into infrastructure solutions. You’ll promote security as an enabler of delivery, helping teams move quickly while maintaining strong…
