Platform Engineer

As a Platform Engineer in our Engineering Acceleration Team, you will design, build and operate the Kubernetes-based infrastructure that our engineering teams depend on every day. You’ll work across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments — spanning AWS, our factory edge and trackside deployments — and contribute to the developer experience tooling that makes the platform genuinely self-service for developers, non-developers and AI-assisted workflows alike.

This is a role with real breadth. One day you’ll be defining infrastructure-as-code patterns or improving CI/CD pipelines; the next you’ll be contributing to incident response, helping teams adopt modern delivery practices, or building the kind of platform automation that removes toil for everyone around you.

Platform Infrastructure

• Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS, on-prem via Rancher) across hybrid-cloud and virtualised environments.
• Define and implement best practices around scaling, security, high availability and multi-tenancy.
• Use Terraform, Crossplane and Helm to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
• Build reusable modules and automation that enable teams to self-serve infrastructure without platform team involvement.

Developer Experience & Delivery Enablement

• Enable application delivery through Git Ops workflows, CI/CD pipelines and Helm-based deployments.
• Contribute to platform tooling — including CLIs, Claude Code skills and MCP server integrations — to support AI-assisted developer workflows.
• Help teams adopt modern delivery practices through tooling, documentation and coaching.
• Contribute to the self-service deployment platform that enables developers and non-developers alike to ship code without deep infrastructure knowledge.

Observability & Reliability

• Operate production workloads with an SRE mindset: measure reliability, define SLOs and reduce toil through automation.
• Contribute to on-call readiness, incident response and root cause analysis.
• Apply security best practices for Kubernetes (RBAC, network policies, secrets management) and support audit and compliance requirements.

We’re looking for a platform engineer who thinks about infrastructure in terms of the people it serves. You’ll be someone who takes pride in reducing friction for the teams around you, who brings a continuous improvement mindset to everything they touch, and who can communicate infrastructure decisions clearly to developers and non-specialists alike.

• Collaborative and adaptable, with a genuine platform mindset.
• Confident communicator who can explain infrastructure decisions to developers and non-specialists.
• Self-motivated and pragmatic — focused on outcomes and continuous improvement.
• Comfortable working across teams and disciplines in a high-performance environment.
• Degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering or a related field.

• Kubernetes provisioning and lifecycle management (AKS, EKS, on-prem).
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Helm.
• Containerisation and orchestration with Docker, Helm and Operators.
• Cloud platforms — AWS and/or Azure.
• CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines, Git Hub Actions or similar).
• Git Ops workflows (e.g. ArgoCD).
• Monitoring, logging and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.
• Scripting and automation in Python, Bash or similar.

Beneficial but not essential:

• Multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architecture experience.
• Security practices for cloud-native platforms.
• Reliability-focused engineering — SLOs, SLIs, error budgets.
• Incident response practices and post-incident reviews.
• AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or Git Hub Copilot.
• Building developer experience tooling, CLIs or internal developer platforms.
