Software Platform Engineer

Software deployment infrastructure for automated robotics
This role addresses how an engineering company deploy the software component of their automated robotic systems for client companies. Deployment is virtualised, containerised and also automated via Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and may be cloud or on-premises. Hence this role extends beyond DevOps and CI/CD into architectural and security considerations.
You’ll have:
• A good degree in a technical subject from Russell Group or equivalent university, backed by strong A-level grades.
• Extensive prior commercial-grade experience of platform engineering in a secure, virtualised, containerised context using IaC, both to the cloud and to client premises.
• Strong knowledge of relevant parts of AWS / Azure; extensive Terraform and Ansible experience; good scripting skills in e.g. bash.
• Good communication skills (written and verbal technical and conversational English) and a collaborative approach.
Additional experience of the life sciences, consultancy or other client/stakeholder engagement, requirements capture, robotics and/or electronics is beneficial, as is more extensive knowledge of security considerations.
