About the Role
At Aston Martin, technology is at the heart of our transformation. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping and evolving our IT landscape—moving us from legacy systems to modern, cloud-first platforms that support innovation across the business.
This is not a traditional engineering role. You will step into a complex environment and take ownership of making it better—simplifying, optimising, and unlocking real business value.
Key Responsibilities
- Take responsibility for the performance, stability, security, and cost optimisation of a hybrid IT estate spanning Azure, AWS, and on-premise environments.
- Work across cloud and infrastructure platforms to identify inefficiencies, remove complexity, and drive improvements that deliver measurable impact. This includes modernising cloud environments, enhancing observability, embedding automation, and ensuring platforms are built to operate effectively from day one.
- Act as a senior escalation point for complex technical challenges, focusing on resolving root causes rather than temporary fixes.
- Define standards, governance, and best practices that enable teams to move quickly while maintaining stability and security.
- Collaborate closely with architecture, security, operations, and delivery teams to solve problems early and ensure successful outcomes.

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.

- Confident in automation practices and Infrastructure as Code, with a mindset focused on efficiency, consistency, and scalability.
- Approach problem-solving with a data-led mindset, using insight and evidence to guide decisions.
- Equally comfortable working independently or influencing across teams, always aiming to raise standards and deliver lasting value.
Why Join Aston Martin?
- Opportunity to be part of a pivotal transformation within IT, where your work will have a direct and visible impact on the business.
- Join a team that is modernising systems, adopting cutting-edge technologies, and building platforms that enable future growth.
