As a mid-level Platform Engineer in our Developer Experience team, you’ll build the tools, automation and cloud foundations that make software easier to develop, deploy and run at Nando’s.\nThe role\nYou’ll own defined platform improvements from implementation through to release and ongoing support, with guidance from experienced colleagues when you need it. Working closely with engineering teams, you’ll turn everyday frustrations into practical, reusable solutions and help shape an internal platform that developers want to use.\nWhat you will do\nWork with engineers to understand where development and deployment become difficult, and translate their feedback into useful platform improvements.\nBuild and maintain infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform using Terraform and other infrastructure as code practices.\nDevelop automation, APIs and self-service tools that reduce manual work and make common engineering tasks simpler.\nImprove CI/CD pipelines, templates and standardised deployment patterns so teams can release changes safely and consistently.\nBuild monitoring and observability into platform services, investigate issues and contribute to improvements in reliability.\nWrite maintainable, tested code and clear documentation; contribute to reviews and share what you learn with the team.\nCollaborate with engineering, product and operations colleagues, and use developer feedback to improve the platform over time.\nWhat you will bring\nHands-on experience in platform engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure or a software engineering role with significant automation work.\nConfidence writing code or scripts for tooling, automation or APIs in a language such as Bash, JavaScript or Go. Your problem-solving approach matters more than a particular language.\nPractical experience provisioning and operating resources on GCP, with an understanding of monitoring, scaling and troubleshooting cloud services.\nExperience using Terraform or a similar infrastructure as code tool to make changes repeatable, reviewable and maintainable.\nExperience building, maintaining or integrating CI/CD pipelines, and an understanding of how they support reliable software delivery.\nAn understanding of observability and monitoring, using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry.\nThe ability to take ownership of a defined piece of work, communicate progress clearly and ask for support when it is needed.\nUseful additional experience\nExperience with Docker, Kubernetes or Cloud Run; security and secrets management, including tools such as Wiz; or internal developer platforms and self-service tooling. Exposure to measuring platform adoption and gathering user feedback would also be useful.\nThese are useful additions, rather than requirements for applying.\nHow you work\nYou’re curious about how other engineers work, listen carefully and enjoy making their jobs easier. You care about sustainable solutions, welcome feedback and want to build your technical confidence in a team that shares knowledge.\nWhat you can expect\nYou’ll have the opportunity to grow your platform engineering skills through hands-on delivery, training and mentorship. Our hybrid approach combines focused work at home with time together in the office. You’ll have a voice in how the platform evolves, access to communities across Nando’s and work whose impact you can see in the experience of your engineering colleagues.\nOur values\nPride We take pride in our work, our heritage and the communities we support.\nPassion We bring energy, creativity and care to what we do.\nCourage We try new things, learn from challenges and keep improving.\nIntegrity We do the right thing, even when it is difficult.\nFamily We celebrate our differences, support each other and succeed together.\nEverybody Welcome\nWe want our teams to reflect the communities we serve and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and identities. If this role excites you but you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still like to hear from you. Let us know if you need any adjustments during the application or interview process.\n#LN-DNI","description_format":"text","description_chars":4309,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T21:03:19Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker; Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T06:20:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nandos-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nandos-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T23:32:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34671,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1832077},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1832077"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnandos-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnandos-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnandos-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nandos-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnandos-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3421376}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nandos.co.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3421376},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
