Platform Engineer (Database Platforms) - London
A research focused technology organisation operating large scale on premise and hybrid infrastructure is looking for a Platform Engineer to help build, automate and operate the database platforms that support critical engineering workloads.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on automation, platform engineering and DevOps. You'll help build reliable, scalable services while developing expertise across modern database platforms and distributed systems.
The environment spans Linux, Kubernetes, cloud and on premise infrastructure, with a strong focus on engineering quality, automation and solving complex technical problems at scale.
We're looking for engineers with solid technical fundamentals, a passion for automation and the curiosity to learn. Strong platform or DevOps experience is more important than already being a database specialist.
