You’ll lead a platform team of four engineers (with plans to hire an additional team member) responsible for building and evolving an internal developer platform used across the engineering function.

The platform is treated as a product, not just infrastructure. That means reliability, usability and developer trust matter just as much as technical correctness.

  • Acting as a strong people leader - coaching, supporting and growing a small but high-impact team
  • Identifying friction points in the developer journey and turning them into solved problems
  • Driving delivery end-to-end, from problem definition through to implementation and adoption
  • Partnering closely with engineering leadership and stakeholders to ensure the platform enables business growth
  • Ensuring platform services meet security, operational and regulatory requirements

About you

  • You’ve led or built cloud platforms, internal developer platforms or DevEx tooling before
  • You think in terms of products, not just projects or infrastructure
  • You’re a strong people leader who enjoys building teams and holding them accountable for outcomes
  • You’re delivery-focused, pragmatic and comfortable making decisions
  • You enjoy solving hard, messy problems and taking ownership
  • You have experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and modern engineering practices
  • Experience in regulated environments is a plus, but mindset and approach matter most

Why this role stands out

  • You’ll own and shape a platform that directly impacts every engineer in the organisation
  • You’ll join at a point of rapid growth where the platform needs to scale with the business
  • You’ll have real autonomy to improve how engineering works day to day
  • Your impact will be visible quickly

Package

  • Up to 115,000
  • Annual bonus (paid for the last 7 years)
  • 25 days’ annual leave plus your birthday off
