As a Platform Engineer, you will design, build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Microsoft Azure, with a focus on Infrastructure‑as‑Code templates and golden paths that give developers secure, compliant, observable, and cost‑efficient paved roads to production.

You will productise platform capabilities (templates, modules, reusable CI/CD, policy guardrails, and developer portal scaffolding) so that delivery teams can self‑serve common architectures: App Services, Azure Functions, API backends, event‑driven services, etc.

In this role you will:

  • Collaborate closely with the infrastructure team and broader technology teams
  • Work effectively with outsourced vendors and managed services partners
  • Own and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) repositories(bash, python, yaml) in Github
  • Define and maintain opinionated templates and modules
  • Partner with application teams to onboard onto golden paths; collect feedback and run enablement sessions
  • Maintain documentation across Confluence, codebases, and GitHub READMEs

You should consider applying if you have:

  • A relevant qualification in IT or Computer Science
  • 8 years of experience in Cloud engineering or DevOps roles
  • At least 5 years of experience in working with Infrastructure-as-code
  • Minimum 5 years of experience working in Azure public
  • Proficient with Terraform, including module design, remote state management, workspaces, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with GitHub Actions, secure development lifecycle (SDLC) best practices, and Git workflows
  • In-depth understanding of Azure core services: networking, compute, identity, and storage
  • Strong scripting skills using PowerShell, Bash, or Python, with a strong automation mindset
  • Experience in implementing security controls, governance, and compliance standards in a financial services environment

Some of the attributes we look for in a person:

  • The ability to build and maintain meaningful relationships
  • The ability to 'approach and own' and continuously look for opportunities to develop
  • Recognise that the engine of career growth is driven by the individual
  • A curiosity about technology and its potential to drive innovation
