DevOps Platform Engineer | Commodity Trading | C# | £600/Day Outside IR35 | Hybrid
A strong DevOps Platform Engineer / Software Engineer with deep experience across Terraform, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code is required by a major Commodity Trading House for their Data & Digitalisation team. The hire will play a key role in building and scaling a brand-new enterprise data platform. This is a unique opportunity to join a major digitalisation project, focused on moving away from fragmented and siloed data systems and creating a centralised data platform where everything is brought together in one place.
The team is effectively building its own Data Tools with everything being built largely from scratch using open-source technologies, with the platforms hosted across Kubernetes and on-premises infrastructure.
This is not a traditional Data Engineering or DevOps role. Instead, we're looking for someone who combines the strengths of a Software Engineer and Platform/DevOps Engineer—someone capable of writing production code and APIs while also being highly experienced with Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD and infrastructure deployment.

- Work extensively with Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure across multiple regions
- Build and maintain Helm charts

- Work with Python on the data/platform side
The role is expected to be approximately 50% software engineering/coding and 50% infrastructure/platform engineering.
Commodity trading experience is nice to have but not essential.
