Location: London (2 days in Office)

Salary: Up to £80,000

This is an opportunity to join a small, high-impact platform engineering team at a well-funded, product-led technology business undergoing a major technical transformation. You will play a key role in reshaping core infrastructure, driving automation, and influencing architectural decisions during a significant modernisation programme.

The Company

They are a venture-backed technology business operating in the financial technology space, building a platform that brings together complex data to deliver intelligent, long-term insights for users. The organisation works with a broad client base and manages data at significant scale, while remaining independent and advice-led rather than product or asset focused. Engineering is central to their strategy, with a strong emphasis on quality, innovation, and long-term thinking.

The Role

Design, build, and evolve scalable platform infrastructure with a strong focus on automation and reliability.

Play a key role in a planned re-architecture of Kubernetes clusters, tooling, and core platform fundamentals over the next year.

Collaborate closely with engineers across the platform, data, and wider technology teams.

Champion infrastructure as code and modern DevOps practices to improve delivery and operational efficiency.

Contribute ideas, challenge existing approaches, and help shape the future technical direction of the platform.

Your Skills and Experience

Strong commercial experience building and operating Kubernetes-based platforms.

Experience working with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Hands-on knowledge of infrastructure as code, ideally with Terraform or similar tools.

Confidence working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where change is constant.

Ability to communicate clearly, share ideas, and work closely with others to deliver impact.

What They Offer

Enhanced parental leave, mental health support, study support, and work-from-home equipment.

A dog-friendly office and regular team and seasonal socials.

Potential for equity review after probation, dependent on performance and business needs.
