Platform Engineer
GCP / AWS | Docker & Kubernetes | Terraform | Linux
Stockport - Hybrid working (2 days per week onsite)
Up to £70,000 + £10,000 On-Call Allowance + Benefits
A well-established tech company in Stockport is looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join their team. They've recently completed a large-scale migration from their traditional data centre into Google Cloud Platform and are now looking for someone to help them improve, maintain and develop their cloud infrastructure.
You'll be joining a small and experienced Platform team, working closely with their Software Engineers to make sure their systems are secure, reliable and performing well. This is a genuinely hands-on role, with a good mixture of modern cloud technologies alongside traditional infrastructure and troubleshooting.
They're not looking for someone to come in and architect an entirely new cloud platform from scratch. The migration to GCP has already happened, so the focus now is on incremental improvements - improving automation, monitoring and reliability, refactoring where necessary and making the platform easier for their development teams to work with.
They work with a modern infrastructure stack including GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, FluxCD and GitHub, alongside a predominantly Linux-based environment.
You'll ideally have experience with most of the following:
Strong Linux infrastructure and troubleshooting skills Docker and containerised environments Kubernetes Terraform / Infrastructure as Code Monitoring, logging and troubleshooting production systems Cloud platforms - ideally GCP or AWS CI/CD and deployment tooling
Previous GCP experience would obviously be useful, but it isn't essential. They're very open to someone coming from a strong AWS background who understands cloud infrastructure and has solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform.
More than anything, they're looking for someone who understands the technologies they work with rather than simply having exposure to them. You should enjoy troubleshooting problems, digging through logs and understanding why something isn't working.
The company has a really good culture and people tend to stick around for a long time. They're independently owned, have a relatively small technology team and have created a collaborative environment where the Platform and Software teams work closely together.
They've also recently purchased their own office in central Stockport, which is currently being renovated into a new purpose-built space for the team. They support hybrid working, with everyone getting together in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
