Platform Engineer

Senior Software / Platform Engineer

💰 £105,000 - £125,000 + Equity

📍 Fully Remote UK or Hybrid London

🛠️ Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP, Go / Python / TypeScript

Here at Burns Sheehan, we’re working with a high-growth Series B SaaS business building a next-generation, AI-native platform in a huge global software market. They’ve raised over $100m from some of the world’s leading technology investors and are now scaling their engineering organisation significantly as the product and customer base continue to grow.

They’re looking for Senior Software Platform Engineers to join a small but growing Platform team and help build the infrastructure foundations required for their next stage of scale.

This isn’t a role focused purely on maintaining Terraform or keeping existing infrastructure running. They want software-minded Platform Engineers who treat the platform as a product and the wider engineering organisation as their customer.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building and evolving scalable cloud infrastructure across Kubernetes, Terraform and GCP
• Improving internal tooling and self-service capabilities for Software Engineers
• Developing CI/CD and deployment infrastructure to make shipping software faster and safer
• Helping evolve the platform towards multi-region and multi-environment infrastructure
• Improving observability, SLOs, reliability and incident response as the platform scales
• Working closely with Product Engineers to remove infrastructure complexity and developer toil

What They’re Looking For:

• Strong Platform Engineering, SRE or cloud infrastructure experience
• Deep production experience with Kubernetes and Terraform
• Experience operating scalable or distributed production systems
• Strong cloud knowledge, ideally GCP, although AWS backgrounds are absolutely relevant
• Software engineering ability in a language such as Go, Python, TypeScript or Rust
• A platform-as-a-product mindset, with experience building tooling for other engineers
• Someone comfortable working in a relatively blank-canvas environment and helping shape how the platform evolves

It’s a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who wants the scale and technical complexity of an established technology business, but still wants genuine ownership over how the platform is designed and built.

If you’re interested in building the foundations that allow a rapidly scaling engineering organisation to move faster, get in touch to find out more.
