About The Role

Our client is a fast-growing fintech platform processing millions of transactions a day. They're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own the internal developer platform that every product team relies on.

You'll work closely with engineering leadership to define the platform roadmap, and with product teams day to day to remove friction from their workflow. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role at a company that genuinely invests in platform engineering as a discipline.

What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve the internal developer platform (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD)
  • Define golden paths and self-service tooling for product engineering teams
  • Drive reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency improvements across the estate
  • Mentor engineers adopting platform tooling for the first time

What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Terraform in production
  • Track record building internal tooling or platforms, not just consuming them
  • Comfortable owning architecture decisions and communicating trade-offs to stakeholders
  • Experience with GitOps-style CI/CD pipelines

What You Get

  • Share options in a growing fintech
  • Private health cover
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Hybrid working, 2 days a week in the London office

Free for candidates, always. We'll be in touch within one working day.
