Platform Engineering Lead
United Kingdom | Remote | £60,000–£70,000
Lead a globally distributed Platform Engineering team while staying close to the technology.
We’re looking for someone who can lead people and delivery across cloud migrations, containerised environments and day-to-day platform operations. This is not a hands-off management role. You’ll help shape secure, scalable and reliable cloud environments while working across AWS, Kubernetes, Flux CD, Azure DevOps and PostgreSQL on Amazon Aurora.
What you’ll do
- Lead and develop a team of Platform Engineers, setting priorities and making sure delivery stays on track.
- Take accountability for secure, resilient cloud environments and the services running across them.
- Plan and coordinate cloud migrations, upgrades, deployments and other project-based work across time zones.
- Oversee monitoring, incidents, changes and application deployments in line with agreed service levels.
- Work closely with Security, FinOps, PMO and Technical Operations to improve automation, reliability and cost efficiency.
