Prefect Platform Engineer – 6-Month Contract - £800pd Inside IR35
We are looking for an experienced Prefect Platform Engineer to join a major Energy Trading organisation in London on an initial six-month contract.
The business operates a large self-hosted Prefect estate, supporting approximately 50 clusters across 15 different team environments. They are now looking for a specialist to help modernise, harden and potentially migrate the platform from Prefect Open Source to Prefect Cloud.
This is a platform engineering role rather than a Python development position. You will need experience owning, maintaining or implementing Prefect as a platform—not simply building and deploying individual flows.
You will work with the existing engineering team to:
- Assess and improve the current self-hosted Prefect environment.
- Support a potential migration from Prefect Open Source to Prefect Cloud.
- Review and harden the AWS infrastructure underpinning the platform.
- Improve monitoring, alerting, patching and operational processes.
- Migrate secrets management to AWS Secrets Manager.
- Review and improve the ECS-based compute layer used to run containerised Python jobs.
- Produce runbooks, documentation and a sustainable operating model.
- Prepare the platform for handover to the internal platform engineering team.
