Senior AWS Platform Engineer

Central London (3 days a week in office)

£85,000 - £90,000 per annum + Generous Benefits Package + Shares

We are working with a London-based software company that have been quietly doing some incredible things across the Retail and Fintech spaces in the last 7 years. Now, they're looking to bring in a Senior AWS Platform Engineer to help scale their cloud infrastructure and DevOps capability.

They've built a high-performing engineering team and are now investing further into the platform side of things as demand grows. Think modern, cloud-native architecture, and a real emphasis on automation, scalability, and developer enablement. You'll have the autonomy to make technical decisions and help shape how platform engineering is done as the team continues to scale.

Tech stack

• AWS (Core services - EC2, S3, IAM, etc.)
• Kubernetes (building and managing production clusters)
• Terraform (for full IaC provisioning)
• Python (scripting, automation)
• GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps (CI/CD pipelines)
• Docker & Helm (for containerised app deployments)

What They're Looking For

• Strong experience in AWS cloud infrastructure (ideally in a regulated or high-traffic environment)
• Hands-on Kubernetes know-how, specifically with EKS.
• Solid IaC experience with Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Comfortable scripting in Python at a decent level.
• Experience with containerisation (Docker, Helm) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar)
• A good communicator who enjoys working collaboratively across product and engineering

The client is willing to take someone that doesn't have all the skills and provide an environment to learn and grow.

Note: We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
