We're partnering with one of London's most exciting and rapidly growing fintech companies as they continue to invest in their Platform Engineering function.

You'll join a collaborative engineering team where your ideas are encouraged, ownership is expected, and you'll play a key role in driving automation, reliability, and platform maturity.

- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, enabling faster and more reliable software delivery
- Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployments, and operational tasks using PowerShell
- Work closely with software engineering teams to improve developer experience, deployment processes, and platform reliability
- Support and optimise Azure SQL environments, ensuring performance, availability, and security
- Implement monitoring, logging, and observability solutions to improve platform performance and resilience
- Champion cloud security, governance, and automation best practices across the Azure estate
- Contribute to the evolution of the company's Platform Engineering strategy and cloud roadmap
- Mentor engineers and share knowledge across the wider technology team
What We're Looking For
- Commercial experience in a Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering role
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure

- Strong experience with Docker and containerisation technologies
- Expertise with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
- Strong experience building and maintaining Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
- Solid scripting skills with PowerShell
- Experience supporting or administering Azure SQL (or Microsoft SQL Server)
- Experience with monitoring and observability tooling
- Good understanding of cloud networking, security, identity, and platform automation
- Excellent communication skills with a collaborative mindset
- Someone who enjoys solving complex problems, improving platforms, and continuously learning
Why Join?
- Join one of London's fastest-growing fintech businesses
- Work with a modern cloud-native Azure technology stack
- Help shape the future of the Platform Engineering function
- Work alongside talented engineers in a highly collaborative environment
- Clear opportunities for progression as the business continues to scale
- Ongoing investment in training, certifications, and professional development

Don't Tick Every Box?
That's okay.
The hiring team understands that great engineers aren't defined by matching every requirement. If you have strong Azure, Kubernetes, and automation experience, along with a genuine desire to learn and grow, we'd still love to hear from you.
This is a company that genuinely invests in its people, offering structured career development, training, and the opportunity to grow alongside the business.
