We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join a consulting client on an initial 6-month contract, working as part of a team responsible for improving the security, reliability, and automation of large-scale infrastructure platforms.
This is a hands-on engineering role, combining Linux, Python, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, testing, and security remediation.

- Design, implement, and validate secure, stable, and maintainable code changes.
- Integrate vendor, open-source, and internally developed technologies into enterprise infrastructure platforms.
- Develop and maintain automation using Python and related technologies.
- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release validation processes.
- Develop practical test plans and validation procedures for security, infrastructure, and configuration changes.
- Use lab and pre-production environments to safely test and validate complex technical changes before production deployment.
- Work closely with engineering, operations, security, and application teams to assess impact and drive remediation through to completion.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, technical planning, and documentation.
- Contribute to improvements across platform security, reliability, automation, and engineering practices.
