Platform Engineer

Job Description

As a Platform Engineer, you'll build the internal platform that enables engineering teams to deliver software faster, safer and with greater confidence.

With GitOps, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD automation and developer experience, you'll help shape the tooling, standards and platform capabilities that engineering teams rely on every day.

You build the platform that every engineering team depends on.

Your work removes friction from software delivery, improves reliability and enables developers to focus on building products instead of managing infrastructure.

In this role you will:

• Design and optimise platform infrastructure that powers Bigbank's services.
• Build and improve GitOps-based software delivery processes and platform automation.
• Investigate, troubleshoot and resolve platform and infrastructure issues in production.
• Improve the scalability, availability and operational efficiency of the platform.
• Help establish and evolve platform engineering practices across the organisation.
• Manage the lifecycle of platform services and infrastructure components.
• Collaborate closely with Software Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers and Enterprise Architects by providing platform services, operational guidance and architectural recommendations.
• Maintain technical documentation that supports reliable operations and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to service capacity planning, performance optimisation and operational readiness.
• Participate in disaster recovery planning, testing and continuous improvement activities.
• Participate in the team's on-call rotation.

Requirements

We believe you'll succeed in this role if you have:

• at least 3 years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering.
• experience designing and operating GitOps-based software delivery in production.
• hands-on experience with Git-based workflows and GitLab CI/CD.
• experience with Infrastructure as Code and automation.
• experience managing infrastructure and application configuration through version-controlled workflows.
• strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• a collaborative mindset and willingness to improve engineering practices across teams.
• hands-on experience with Kubernetes, ArgoCD and Helm.

You'll stand out if you also have experience with:

• Cloud-native platforms
• Java or Node.js build pipelines

You'll probably enjoy this role if you...

• believe in platform delivery and infrastructure as code
• enjoy removing friction from software delivery
• like building solutions that other engineers rely on every day
• automate repetitive work before anyone asks
• prefer improving systems over maintaining manual processes
• enjoy solving engineering problems that have organisation-wide impact

Company offers

You'll help build the internal platform that enables engineering teams to deliver software quickly, reliably and securely. Every improvement you make will have a direct impact on how software is built, deployed and operated across the organisation.

You won't just maintain the platform - you'll help define how it evolves.

If you enjoy ownership, meaningful technical challenges and building solutions that make every engineer more productive, you'll feel right at home.
