DevOps / Platform Engineer (AWS, Terraform, Containers)
Contract: Initial 3 months
Outside IR35
Day rate: £550 - £600/day
Location: Manchester (up to 1 - 2 days onsite)
We're supporting a fast-growing technology product business as they scale their platform engineering capability and invest heavily in the infrastructure, tooling, and automation behind a globally-used product.
This is a strong opportunity for a Platform Engineer with a genuine Software Engineering background to join a highly talented team, helping build and evolve a modern cloud platform that lets engineers ship software quickly, securely, and at scale.
We're after someone who understands infrastructure but also understands developers. Someone who's spent real time building software themselves and can bridge the gap between engineering and platform teams.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and building scalable AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code
- Developing and maintaining reusable Terraform modules and platform tooling
- Supporting containerised workloads and orchestration platforms
- Building and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- Driving platform reliability, security, observability, and operational excellence
- Working closely with Software Engineers to improve developer experience and productivity
- Contributing to architectural decisions across cloud, platform, and application delivery
- Helping shape platform engineering best practices within a growing product organisation
- Supporting the evolution of internal developer platforms and self-service capabilities
