Senior Software / Platform Engineer
đź’° ÂŁ105,000 - ÂŁ125,000 + Equity
đź“Ť Fully Remote UK or Hybrid London
🛠️ Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP, Go / Python / TypeScript
Here at Burns Sheehan, we’re working with a high-growth Series B SaaS business building a next-generation, AI-native platform in a huge global software market. They’ve raised over $100m from some of the world’s leading technology investors and are now scaling their engineering organisation significantly as the product and customer base continue to grow.
They’re looking for Senior Software Platform Engineers to join a small but growing Platform team and help build the infrastructure foundations required for their next stage of scale. This isn’t a role focused purely on maintaining Terraform or keeping existing infrastructure running. They want software-minded Platform Engineers who treat the platform as a product and the wider engineering organisation as their customer.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building and evolving scalable cloud infrastructure across Kubernetes, Terraform and GCP
- Improving internal tooling and self-service capabilities for Software Engineers
- Developing CI/CD and deployment infrastructure to make shipping software faster and safer
- Helping evolve the platform towards multi-region and multi-environment infrastructure
- Improving observability, SLOs, reliability and incident response as the platform scales
- Working closely with Product Engineers to remove infrastructure complexity and developer toil
What They’re Looking For
- Strong Platform Engineering, SRE or cloud infrastructure experience
- Deep production experience with Kubernetes and Terraform
- Experience operating scalable or distributed production systems
- Strong cloud knowledge, ideally GCP, although AWS backgrounds are absolutely relevant
- Software engineering ability in a language such as Go, Python, TypeScript or Rust
- A platform-as-a-product mindset, with experience building tooling for other engineers
- Someone comfortable working in a relatively blank-canvas environment and helping shape how the platform evolves

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
It’s a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who wants the scale and technical complexity of an established technology business, but still wants genuine ownership over how the platform is designed and built.
