Description
You will set the technical direction for the enterprise developer platform that engineers rely on every day. By architecting integrated solutions across source control, CI/CD, cloud, identity and security tooling, and by scaling self-service capabilities, you will accelerate engineering productivity while keeping the platform secure, governed and reliable.
Responsibilities
- Own the platform engineering roadmap, architecture and delivery from design through production.
- Lead, mentor and grow a team of engineers; set technical standards and review designs.
- Plan and track delivery across multiple workstreams, managing dependencies, risks and stakeholder communication.
- Define platform metrics and use them to prioritise investment and demonstrate value.
- Design, implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling across GitHub Enterprise Cloud, Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub Actions hosted runners to ensure reliable, fast and secure software delivery.
- Administer and evolve GitHub Enterprise Cloud, including repository governance, branch policies, access controls and enterprise-level configuration.
- Manage the repository lifecycle (creation, ownership, archival) and enforce version control standards (Conventional Commits, semantic versioning, branching and PR standards).
- Drive the internal developer portal and self-service strategy, including service catalogues, templates and self-service workflows.
- Provision, secure and optimise the AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, CloudFormation/CDK) that underpin the developer platform.
- Integrate security, quality and artefact management tools into developer workflows with minimal friction.
- Own and operate AI-assisted development tooling, including GitHub Copilot, Cursor IDE, developer agents and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations, driving adoption, measuring productivity impact and scaling usage across engineering teams.
- Build automation frameworks and developer agents that eliminate toil across identity and access provisioning, onboarding, environment setup, compliance checks and routine platform operations, in partnership with security and IT teams.
- Partner with engineering, security, SRE and architecture teams, divisional DevOps/TechOps teams and BISOs to enforce guardrails and keep the platform governed, reliable and operationally ready.
- Produce clear documentation, runbooks and enablement material to drive self-service adoption and reduce support burden.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, SRE or infrastructure engineering roles.
- Strong hands-on experience with GitHub Enterprise Cloud (administration, Actions, hosted runners, GHAS) and Azure DevOps.
- Deep expertise in CI/CD pipeline design and automation at enterprise scale.
- Strong understanding of the repository lifecycle, Git workflows and branching strategies (Conventional Commits, semantic versioning, trunk-based/GitFlow, PR workflows).
- Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and configuration management tools.
- Solid experience with AWS services, including compute, networking, storage, IAM and container orchestration (ECS/EKS).
- Understanding of CMDB and ITIL-aligned change management (change requests, approvals, audit trails).
- Experience building or extending internal developer portals (Backstage, Port or similar).
- Familiarity with ServiceNow (workflow and catalogue configuration) and data platforms (Databricks or equivalent).
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, TypeScript/Node.js).
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence adoption across engineering teams.
