# Platform Engineer

Who we are We’re The Kite Factory; the independent media agency built on Values and Velocity. Our values set the direction. Velocity drives the momentum. Together, they shape how we think, how we work, and how we help ambitious brands grow in a world that rarely stands still. Everything we do is built around one belief: the best media ideas are the ones that deliver measurable growth. That’s why we combine strategic thinking, creative ambition, and commercial accountability to create Ideas That Deliver - media solutions grounded in insight, executed with precision, and measured by real-world impact. From commercial challengers to leading purpose led organisations, we partner with brands including WaterAid, White Claw, British Red Cross, Lovehoney, MedExpress, Friends of the Earth and M&G Wealth. Today, we have specialists across strategy, planning, activation, data, analytics, and creative thinking - united by curiosity, collaboration, and a shared ambition to deliver work that makes a measurable difference. We’ve grown quickly because we’ve stayed true to what makes us different: independent thinking, deep client partnership, and a culture that empowers people to move with clarity
