# Platform Engineer

The Role As a Platform Engineer in our Engineering Acceleration Team, you will design, build and operate the Kubernetes-based infrastructure that our engineering teams depend on every day. You’ll work across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments - spanning AWS, our factory edge and trackside deployments - and contribute to the developer experience tooling that makes the platform genuinely self-service for developers, non-developers and AI-assisted workflows alike. This is a role with real breadth. One day you’ll be defining infrastructure-as-code patterns or improving CI/CD pipelines; the next you’ll be contributing to incident response, helping teams adopt modern delivery practices, or building the kind of platform automation that removes toil for everyone around you. What You’ll Be Doing Platform Infrastructure Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS, on-prem via Rancher) across hybrid-cloud and virtualised environments. Define and implement best practices around scaling, security, high availability and multi-tenancy. Use Terraform, Crossplane and Helm to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration. Build reusable modules and automation that enable teams to self-se
