Senior Software Engineer, Platform - AI Portal

Salary: £60,000 - 60,000 per year

Requirements:

• Strong hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, ideally Azure, with production Terraform/IaC experience.
• Strong RBAC/IAM knowledge at cloud/infrastructure level; experience with application/product-level IAM or multi-tenancy is highly valuable.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Security and networking fundamentals; you are a hands-on builder, not just a reviewer.
• Experience as part of a support or on-call rotation.
• A strong communicator who can coach and guide application developers, not just build in isolation.
• A product mindset: you think about the developer experience and build tools that genuinely improve how the team works.
• High autonomy and ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes in a fast-moving team.
• Experience working with multiple cloud providers or cross-cloud IAM across Azure, AWS and/or GCP.
• Background in developer experience (DX) or internal tooling.
• Experience in a startup or high-growth engineering environment.
• Security certifications are a plus but not required.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and developer tooling, primarily in Azure, using IaC (Terraform) across development, staging and production environments.
• Own and evolve RBAC/IAM across cloud/infrastructure and application/product layers for a multi-tenant Portal environment.
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines to increase developer velocity, reliability and deployment safety.
• Support and improve Kubernetes-based deployment workflows and platform services.
• Build internal tools and observability capabilities that help engineers deliver performant, reliable software at scale.
• Participate in a support/on-call rotation; respond to incidents, support engineers and contribute to root cause analysis.
• Apply practical security and networking knowledge to harden the platform and coach application developers on best practices.
