Role
WeDo is partnering with a global technology organisation looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join the team responsible for the maintenance and continued evolution of its flagship SaaS platform.
This is a genuinely high-scale engineering environment. The platform processes over 32 million requests every day, operates across 5 global deployment nodes and runs against a 99.95% availability SLA.
The challenge is not simply building new infrastructure. You will be helping evolve an established, business-critical SaaS platform where reliability, scalability and maintaining availability while making changes are fundamental.
The environment is Azure only, with Kubernetes at the heart of the platform.

Why should I apply?
The scale is what makes this opportunity different.
You will be working on a platform processing 32m+ requests every day across five global deployments, where maintaining a 99.95% SLA while continuing to evolve the technology presents genuine Platform Engineering challenges.
If you enjoy Kubernetes, Azure and Infrastructure as Code but also want responsibility for the reliability and evolution of a platform operating at serious production scale, this is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact.
