  • Design and deliver self-service capabilities, reusable golden paths, and standard service templates to simplify service provisioning and operations
  • Contribute to cloud-native platform architecture, including compute, Kubernetes, networking, secrets management, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code
  • Integrate AI-assisted engineering workflows to support faster delivery, improved code quality, automation, and data-driven operational decisions
  • Establish governance, security, and compliance guardrails through policy-as-code and auditable platform patterns
  • Improve platform reliability using SLOs, observability practices, resilience engineering, and insights from incidents
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, security, and architecture teams to align platform capabilities with business priorities and user needs
  • Drive efficiency and sustainability through automation, standardisation, and FinOps-informed engineering practices

Requirements

  • Experienced professional in designing and operating internal developer platforms, cloud-native platforms, or large-scale distributed systems within complex enterprise environments
  • Technical specialist with expertise across cloud platforms, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, service networking, and platform security
  • Capable software engineer with proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Python, Go, or Java, and experience building platform APIs and developer tooling
  • Advocate for AI-native engineering practices, including AI-assisted development, automation, and intelligent operations
  • Familiar with platform-as-a-product principles, developer experience optimisation, and adoption measurement
  • Skilled in defining reliability objectives, SLOs, monitoring, alerting, and driving improvements through incident learnings
  • Able to engage and influence senior stakeholders, mentor team members, and translate complex strategies into scalable solutions
  • Demonstrates strong problem-solving, communication, stakeholder management, and continuous improvement capabilities

What we offer

  • Opportunity to shape and lead a high-impact, enterprise-wide platform transformation initiative
  • Exposure to cutting-edge AI-native engineering practices and large-scale cloud ecosystems
