Job description

Overview

Platform Engineer role focused on building enterprise golden paths, reusable CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code assets, and automated security governance that teams can adopt across a global enterprise.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and version enterprise-grade shared GitHub Actions (Composite Actions and Reusable Workflows) and standardized delivery templates to create secure, automated "Golden Paths" across product teams.
  • Build and maintain secure, modular Terraform modules and IaC assets, versioned and documented for broad reuse and easy consumption.
  • Integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM generation, and supply chain protections into default delivery workflows, shifting security left through automation and policy-as-code guardrails.
  • Create scalable, resilient CI/CD patterns aligned to enterprise standards, applying least privilege and reducing configuration risk to strengthen operational reliability.
  • Develop automation services and developer tooling in Python or Golang that enable self-service onboarding, secure defaults, and consistent quality checks.
  • Contribute to solutions spanning cloud, serverless, containerized, compute, and hybrid environments, producing reference architectures, diagrams, and implementation guidance that accelerate adoption.
  • Define and execute testing strategies for infrastructure code and automation (unit, integration, and environment validation) to ensure repeatable, high-quality delivery.
  • Partner with product and platform consumers to drive adoption, capture feedback, and iterate on patterns and assets to enhance developer experience and business value.
  • Apply AI tools and techniques where appropriate to improve development speed, quality, secure design, and innovation, sharing learning and elevating team practices.

What you'll need

  • Significant 6+ years of experience in platform engineering, cloud engineering, DevSecOps, or a related technical engineering discipline.
  • Hands-on experience authoring, testing, and maintaining centralized, reusable GitHub Actions (Composite Actions, Reusable Workflows) across an enterprise organization.
  • Understanding of Semantic Versioning for GitHub Actions (@v1, @v2), supply chain pinning, and securing pipeline-to-AWS authentication using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
  • Strong experience with AWS, including services related to compute, networking, security, and serverless architectures.
  • Advanced expertise in Terraform and reusable infrastructure-as-code design.
  • Strong scripting or software engineering capability in Python or Golang.
  • Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and controls, including SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM, and software supply chain security.
  • Experience designing and implementing secure CI/CD pipelines within enterprise environments.
  • Solid grasp of security-by-design, the least privilege, and secure architecture principles.
  • Experience building scalable, reusable, modular platform solutions rather than one-off implementations.
  • Ability to create clear and effective user documentation and architecture artefacts.
  • Collaboration skills and ability to work optimally across engineering, security, and architecture teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

  • Relevant certifications in cloud, security, infrastructure, or DevOps/DevSecOps.
  • Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration technologies.
  • Exposure to hybrid or on-premises environments.
  • Familiarity with Azure cloud services.
  • Knowledge of modern application stacks such as Java, .NET, or React.
  • Experience applying AI tools to development, testing, secure design, or engineering productivity improvement.
  • Experience with infrastructure testing frameworks such as Terratest.
