You’ll work within a collaborative team of five Platform Engineers, supporting and evolving a mature container platform that hosts a range of business-critical customer-facing services.

An understanding of regulated environments, as well as governance and security best practices

Whether you come from an operations or development background, you’ll bring an engineering mindset and a structured, disciplined approach to delivery.

What's in it for you?

A technically mature environment, no firefighting or chaos, just smart engineering
Opportunity to work on interesting automation and platform-as-a-product initiatives
A collaborative, experienced team with great mentorship opportunities
