I’m responsible for delivery and growth in our key portfolios, and I’m looking for a talented Junior Platform Engineer to strengthen our team. I’m offering the chance to help make the UK a safer place, working in partnership with government and law enforcement organisations on some of the most challenging data and technology problems.\nAbout us\nWe’ve just had our eleventh birthday, having grown from a little-known tech start-up into a community of 180 people, mostly based in Salford, Greater Manchester.\nWe work in an Agile-first environment that values transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. While every team has its own rhythm, you can expect:\nA Culture of Enablement: Our goal is to clear obstacles. You'll be empowered to make decisions and given the support and tools you need to succeed.\nFocus on Quality: We take pride in our work. You'll be part of a culture that values well-written, maintainable code, and your work will serve as a \"definitive example\" for others.\nActive Collaboration: You'll work closely with Software Engineers, Delivery Leads, and Product Owners, helping to manage and maintain your own infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes) and build automated delivery pipelines (using GitLab).\nAt Naimuri, we work on a variety of projects that range in length from a few weeks to 5+ years. Here are some things we’ve worked on recently that give a sense of the work we do:\nA DevOps platform to support 3000 users.\nA search and reporting system backed by an Elasticsearch cluster.\nAn AI assurance capability\nAbout the Role \nAs a Junior Platform Engineer at Naimuri, you will play a key role in enabling team success, driving efficiency, and applying technical expertise to complex platform challenges. You will work with other platforms and ITOps team members to support the entire Naimuri enterprise. We'll look to you to:\nSupport, Maintain and make critical updates to Naimuri’s core platform hosted on AWS. Understanding Azure and GCP will be useful. \nOperate core support for the wider business to ensure projects operate smoothly on the platform.\nWork with the wider team to reduce costs and find efficiencies in the use of AWS, including the effective utilisation of AWS saving plans.\nDevelop with support from the wider team new features that support the enterprise.\nProactively monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve platform environments using appropriate logging, monitoring, and analytics tools. Lead on and contribute heavily to resolving issues and incidents.\nHelp to ensure all necessary ISO and certification standards are met and maintained. \nWork collaboratively with delivery teams to support platform adoption, share best practices, and define clear, documented playbooks. \nStay up to date with new platform capabilities and actively suggest improvements or new services that align with company strategy (e.g., enabling AI, improving cyber security and hybrid connectivity). \nIf the following describes the way you work, then I’d really like to speak to you:\nYou enjoy taking responsibility for a solution from initial concept through to production.\nYou excel at breaking down complex or ambiguous problems into clear, deliverable milestones.\nYou naturally look for ways to continuously improve processes, codebases, and overall team efficiency.\nYou enjoy working with a supportive and collaborative problem solving team . \nThis might not be the role for you if:\nYou prefer a well-defined ticket queue where you can focus purely on implementation.\nYou're not interested in learning and participating with team members.\nYou're uncomfortable with the ambiguity that comes from working on novel challenges\nPay and benefits\nNaimuri pays competitively within the industry based on your role's base location rates. The salary for this position is dependent upon your experience. We assess seniority relative to the team at Naimuri during the interviewing process.\nA full-time working week is 37.5 hours with flexible hours to help balance work and home commitments. We also welcome applications from candidates seeking part-time or job-share arrangements. Most teams have agreed ‘in office’ days to enable collaboration. Depending on the project, you may also be required to travel to a local customer site or occasionally to other locations in the UK.\nBenefits include:\nFlexible/Hybrid working options \nPerformance bonus\nCompany bonus\nPension matched 1.5x up to 10.5%\nBUPA group 1 medical cover\nHoliday purchase/buy-back scheme\nCycle to work scheme\nCar benefit scheme\nRecruitment Process\nWe are committed to building an inclusive, safe and supportive environment that allows everyone to do their best work, so we strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply.
