Job Description

Senior Platform Engineer

IntaPeople are partnered with a fintech scaleup in Cardiff city centre and are scaling up the platform engineering team with a mid-level and senior engineer. This is a hybrid role with 3 days per week in the office.

About the role
  • Joining a small team, this is a varied role where you can really diversify your experience. The role covers cloud infrastructure, end user computing as well as more database focused work; but we welcome applications from a strong cloud infrastructure background with an appetite to learn the rest.
  • The day to day involves designing, building and operating cloud infrastructure that supports production services. We are looking for someone with an understanding of how platforms evolve to meet changing technical and business needs.
  • You'll work with IaC tooling such as Terraform, build CI/CD pipelines alongside a range of AWS services (EC2, ECS, RDS & VPC).
  • As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will coach and mentor the junior and mid level members of the team; sharing your knowledge and expertise to help them achieve their career goals.
About you
  • Although this is an AWS focused role, the team are open to Azure and GCP backgrounds as they feel the principles are the same and they hire engineers for their experience rather than their tech stacks.
  • You'll be an adaptive and open engineer who wants to learn new things, tech and tooling is forever evolving so we are looking for an engineer who wants to work with the next big thing. A consultancy or MSP background where your experience is varied would be a bonus.
  • Having the balance of 3 days per week in the office where you can work collaboratively with in person interaction and 2 days at home where you can get your head down with no distractions works best for you. This company has worked hard to build a great work culture so you will contribute to and maintain this.
Nice to have
  • Python or Shell scripting
  • Ansible
  • Microsoft 365 services such as Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and Conditional Access, particularly in security conscious environments.
  • Experience of networking concepts such as VPCs, subnets, routes, gateways, firewall rules, NAT
  • Experience with Linux, Windows
