Software Platform Engineer (27465)

Cambridge area
to £competitive + benefits

On-premises and cloud server management with automation

This role combines design and build of on-premises and cloud network and server architecture infrastructure. Continuous deployment is a feature. You will pattern deployments for future re-use and scalability. Automating robust, repeatable and secure environments is a key consideration.

You will bring:

  • Experience managing servers, storage (and ideally) network resources both on-premises and in the cloud (AWS, Azure).
  • Skills creating and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) templates with the likes of Terraform.
  • Knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, or any suitable), Git triggers and the like.
  • Awareness of security concerns and practices (certificates, secrets, and hardening systems against ingress).
  • The ability to communicate clearly, and a willingness to learn new techniques and technologies whilst collaborating with colleagues.

Additional experience of virtualised containers, hypervisors, more advanced networking and/or DevSecOps is a plus.

Given the nature of the role, the company needs someone full time in the office, hence seeking applicants local to Cambridge or clearly keen and able to relocate. UK work permission without time limit or sponsorship is also a prerequisite. Salaries are competitive, and benefits include a strong pension, bonuses and private medical cover.
