  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Helm.
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration with Docker, Helm and Operators.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, including AWS and/or Azure.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions or similar).
  • Experience with GitOps workflows, such as ArgoCD.
  • Experience with monitoring, logging and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.
  • Experience with scripting and automation in Python, Bash or similar.
  • Multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architecture experience is beneficial but not essential.
  • Security practices for cloud-native platforms are beneficial but not essential.
  • Reliability-focused engineering experience, including SLOs, SLIs and error budgets, is beneficial but not essential.
  • Incident response practices and post-incident reviews are beneficial but not essential.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot is beneficial but not essential.
  • Experience building developer experience tooling, CLIs or internal developer platforms is beneficial but not essential.
  • Experience designing self-service workflows for non-technical users is beneficial but not essential.
Responsibilities:
  • We design, build and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure that our engineering teams depend on every day.
  • We work across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments, spanning AWS, our factory edge and trackside deployments.
  • We contribute to developer experience tooling that makes the platform self-service for developers, non-developers and AI-assisted workflows.
  • We define infrastructure-as-code patterns and improve CI/CD pipelines.
  • We contribute to incident response and help teams adopt modern delivery practices.
  • We build platform automation that removes toil.
  • We deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters across hybrid-cloud and virtualised environments.
  • We define and implement best practices around scaling, security, high availability and multi-tenancy.
  • We use Terraform, Crossplane and Helm to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
  • We build reusable modules and automation that enable teams to self-serve infrastructure without platform team involvement.
  • We enable application delivery through GitOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines and Helm-based deployments.
  • We contribute to platform tooling, including CLIs, Claude Code skills and MCP server integrations, to support AI-assisted developer workflows.
  • We help teams adopt modern delivery practices through tooling, documentation and coaching.
  • We contribute to the self-service deployment platform that enables developers and non-developers alike to ship code without deep infrastructure knowledge.
  • We operate production workloads with an SRE mindset, measuring reliability, defining SLOs and reducing toil through automation.
  • We contribute to on-call readiness, incident response and root cause analysis.
  • We apply security best practices for Kubernetes and support audit and compliance requirements.
