Infrastructure / Platform Engineer

London or Cambridge

Hybrid Working - 3 Days Per Week Onsite

An established and rapidly growing AI software company is expanding its Platform Engineering team and seeking experienced Infrastructure or DevOps Engineers to help shape and evolve a production-grade Kubernetes environment.

This opportunity is suited to engineers who enjoy building and improving systems from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing enterprise platforms.

The business has successfully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS EKS and is now focused on scaling, refining and strengthening its cloud infrastructure. They are looking for mid-level and senior engineers who can bring hands-on depth, strong architectural understanding and experience operating in fast-paced product environments.

The Role

• Design, build and evolve AWS cloud infrastructure
• Work extensively with Kubernetes and AWS EKS
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Contribute to CI/CD and GitOps workflows
• Improve multi-tenant platform architecture
• Enhance scalability, reliability and automation
• Solve complex production challenges in a SaaS environment

What We Are Looking For

• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience
• AWS production experience, ideally EKS
• Solid Infrastructure as Code expertise, Terraform preferred
• Experience building or significantly evolving cloud platforms
• Comfortable working in dynamic, high-growth or product-led environments
• Engineers who understand infrastructure at a systems level, not just through pre-built pipelines

This position is open to both strong mid-level engineers and senior engineers. Senior candidates will have the opportunity to influence platform direction and mentor others. Mid-level candidates should demonstrate genuine ownership and depth of hands-on experience.

Location

The role can be based in either London or Cambridge.

The team operates a hybrid model with three days per week onsite.

If you are looking for an opportunity to work on a technically ambitious platform where you can have real impact, we would welcome your application.

Reference: 20233

Role Summary:

Major IT Consultancy is seeking a Bare Metal Platform Engineer to be responsible for the technical engineering, industrialisation, and operational lifecycle of a clients global x86 estate. Unlike a traditional asset lead, this role focuses on abstracting hardware complexity through automation. You will be responsible for engineering the ‘connective tissue’ between vendor-specific management tools (iDRAC, iLO, XCC) and the clients core orchestration engines. The goal is to deliver ‘Bare Metal as a Service’ (BMaaS) by ensuring that Dell, HPE, and Lenovo hardware can be provisioned, managed, and observed as a unified, code-driven resource.

Key Responsibilities:

• Unified Orchestration Engineering: Design and implement automation workflows that abstract vendor-specific tools (Lenovo XClarity, Dell OpenManage, HPE OneView) into a standardized management layer.
• Northbound Integration: Lead the integration of hardware management platforms with the Bank’s Ansible and Terraform playbooks to enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning.
• Observability & Telemetry: Engineer the export of hardware health and performance metrics into OpenTelemetry (OTEL) and Prometheus to ensure unified monitoring across the heterogeneous fleet.
• ITSM & DDI Automation: Automate the end-to-end lifecycle from IP allocation (DDI/IPAM) to ServiceNow ticket generation for automated hardware break-fix and warranty tracking.
• Firmware & Security Compliance: Define and programmatically enforce ‘Golden Baselines’ for BIOS, RAID, and NIC settings, ensuring all assets meet the Bank’s security control frameworks before being promoted to production.
• Audit & Evidence Engineering: Maintain immutable, automated audit trails for every hardware configuration change, replacing manual asset records with real-time ‘state of the world’ reporting.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Multi-Vendor Hardware Deep-Dive: Expert-level knowledge of Dell PowerEdge (iDRAC), HPE ProLiant (iLO), and Lenovo ThinkSystem (XCC) hardware architectures.
• Protocol Mastery: Proficiency in hardware-level communication protocols, specifically Redfish API, IPMI, and SNMP for out-of-band management.
• Infrastructure as Code: Significant experience with Ansible (Roles/Collections) or Terraform for automating physical infrastructure deployments.
• DDI & Network Services: Working knowledge of DHCP, DNS, and IPAM (DDI) services and how they interact with PXE/iPXE boot sequences.
• Scripting & Development: Strong Python or Bash skills for building custom integration wrappers and data transformation tools.
• Operational Governance: Experience working in highly regulated or audit-driven environments, with a focus on automated evidence collection.
