Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer | Robotics, Kubernetes, Linux, Multi-Cloud | £80,000 - £110,000 A high growth technology business is looking for a Platform Engineer to help build the infrastructure, tooling and deployment capability behind a genuinely impressive robotics platform operating in live warehouse environments. This is not a traditional infrastructure role. The business is developing autonomous robotics technology used in real world industrial settings, where cloud infrastructure, internal platforms and edge connected systems all need to work seamlessly together. It is a genuinely interesting engineering challenge, with the platform team playing a key role in making sure software can be deployed quickly, reliably and at scale. Platform Engineer | Key responsibilities Build and operate cloud infrastructure supporting user-facing applications, internal services and high velocity deploymentsDevelop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling used by multiple engineering teamsManage containerised environments using Docker and Kubernetes across a multi-cloud setupBuild and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and Terraform CloudSupport monitoring, logging, observability and alerting across production systemsImprove reliability, automation, security hardening and overall platform maturityMentor more junior engineers and help promote DevOps and platform engineering best practice across the team Platform Engineer | Requirements Strong background in platform engineering, DevOps, infrastructure engineering or site reliability engineeringStrong hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or Azure, ideally across more than one providerStrong experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and modern CI/CD toolingExperience building automation frameworks, deployment pipelines and self-service developer platformsGood programming skills in Go or TypeScriptStrong understanding of observability, monitoring and incident response toolingComfortable working in fast paced, evolving environments where priorities can shiftAny experience in robotics, IoT, edge computing or hardware-adjacent environments would be highly beneficialPrevious scale-up or high growth technology experience would be a plus Platform Engineer | Why this role is interesting The role combines modern platform engineering with the challenges of supporting robotics and real world operational technology, which makes the technical problems far more interesting than standard infrastructure work. It would suit someone who enjoys building, automating and improving engineering systems, and who wants their work to have a visible impact in a business developing genuinely impressive technology.
