To support this mission, we’re growing our Platform Operations Team, responsible for the cloud infrastructure that powers our AI services. As a Platform Operations Engineer, you’ll work across AWS, Kubernetes, and internal automation tools to ensure the platform runs smoothly, securely, and efficiently.
This role suits someone who enjoys working at the intersection of software development and operations - writing code, automating infrastructure, and supporting high-performance machine learning environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy, manage, and monitor applications on AWS EKS (Kubernetes)
• Build and maintain Helm charts, manifests, and ArgoCD configurations
• Contribute Python code for internal tooling, automation, and services
• Manage CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Concourse, GitLab CI)
• Troubleshoot issues in networking, permissions, and application performance
• Work with development teams to streamline deployment and scaling of AI systems
• Maintain secure cloud environments through thoughtful IAM and Terraform configurations

Essential Skills and Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (deployment, debugging, Helm)
• Intermediate to advanced Python development skills
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, especially writing and debugging them
• Solid understanding of AWS services (EKS, IAM, S3)
• Confident with Linux-based environments and containerization (Docker)

Ideal (Bonus) Skills

• Experience with Helm, ArgoCD, and GitOps workflows
• Practical knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
• Understanding of Kubernetes networking, ingress management, and certificate handling
• Exposure to OAuth/OpenID, certificates, and authentication proxies

We’re looking for a Splunk & OpenShift Observability Engineer to design, deploy, and optimise enterprise-grade monitoring across hybrid Kubernetes and OpenShift environments.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll shape observability strategy, enhance service intelligence, and ensure platform reliability at scale - balancing performance, cost efficiency, and security governance.

You’ll work at the intersection of platform engineering, observability, and service intelligence, helping to transform raw telemetry into actionable insight. This is an opportunity to influence reliability strategy, improve operational maturity, and deliver measurable value across a modern cloud-native estate.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, deploy, and operate Splunk Enterprise and ITSI across hybrid Kubernetes/OpenShift platforms
• Onboard and normalise data at scale (HEC, Universal Forwarder, Deployment Server), aligning to CIM standards
• Build and optimise ITSI service models: service trees, KPIs, adaptive thresholds, NEAP policies, glass tables, deep dives, and health scoring
• Deliver OpenShift-focused executive and operational dashboards, including:
• Cluster/API/etcd health
• Node readiness and resource pressure
• Pod restart trends and noisy-neighbour detection
• Network and storage error visibility
• Capacity, quota, and burst analysis
• Optimise search and platform performance (workload rules, DMA, summary indexing, scheduling hygiene, concurrency tuning)
• Implement intelligent alerting and automated routing into ITSM and ChatOps platforms, including enrichment, suppression windows, and maintenance scheduling
• Govern data ingestion and security controls (RBAC, retention, PII handling, TLS, token governance, index and role mapping)
• Integrate telemetry pipelines including OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Fluentd/Fluent Bit/Vector, Kafka, CMDB and AIOps/ML solutions
• Drive SLO/KPI alignment, golden signal monitoring, rollout/rollback health validation, and executive reporting

What You’ll Bring

• Deep expertise in Splunk Enterprise (SPL mastery, CIM alignment, saved searches, macros, KV stores, index/retention/RBAC design, performance tuning)
• Strong experience with Splunk ITSI (service trees, KPIs, adaptive/time-based thresholds, NEAP tuning, Service Analyzer configuration)
• Proven OpenShift/Kubernetes observability experience across control-plane metrics, events, logs, workload correlation, and capacity management
• Hands-on experience with telemetry pipelines (OpenTelemetry/OTLP, Prometheus exporters, Fluentd/Fluent Bit/Vector, Kafka with TLS, HEC/UF/DS onboarding)
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles (golden signals, SLO design, namespace/application KPI mapping)
• Experience optimising performance and licensing costs using workload rules, DMA, and summary indexing
• Solid security and compliance knowledge (TLS/mTLS, certificate/token hygiene, PII controls, auditability, role/index mapping)
• Automation and integration expertise across ITSM, ChatOps, webhooks, CMDB enrichment, and AIOps tooling

You will play a key role in designing, developing, and supporting high-performance software solutions within secure and mission-critical environments. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and maintainable systems that meet demanding operational requirements. This role will involve contributing across the full development lifecycle, from early design and implementation through to deployment and long-term support, using modern cloud-native and DevOps practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain secure, high-performance backend services using modern programming languages.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and security.
• Translate solution architectures and business requirements into detailed technical designs and implementations.
• Build, deploy, and manage containerised applications on Kubernetes using Helm and continuous deployment tools.
• Support Agile delivery by contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and user story development.
• Produce clear, accurate, and high-quality technical documentation in line with agreed standards.
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies, including stand-ups, planning sessions, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Monitor live systems, investigate performance or reliability issues, and implement fixes and enhancements.
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to improve automation, testing, and deployment pipelines.
• Contribute to prototyping, experimentation, and the development of innovative technical solutions.
• Ensure compliance with organisational processes, quality standards, and security requirements.
• Support continuous improvement through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and adoption of new technologies.
