About this role
Role Overview
- Platform Engineering provides the foundation for our next generation banking platform, delivering the runtime environment that abstracts our feature teams from the underlying infrastructure.
- You'll help look after the whole platform, spanning many domains and multiple AWS accounts, so there's always a new corner to dig into.
- Work on Networking: ingress and egress, DMZ and cluster networking, load balancers, cross-account, cross-region, and cross-VPC networking, and B2B integrations with third parties.
- Focus on Security: authentication and authorisation (OAuth, mTLS), IAM and security configuration, service mesh, egress filtering, and HashiCorp Vault.
- Manage Data: Aurora PostgreSQL and database performance, Kafka, and caching.
- Oversee Platform and infrastructure: Kubernetes on AWS, orchestrated with Terraform, and providing tier 1 grade resilience and 99.99% availability for our customers.
- Develop Tooling and CI/CD: Go and Python for our operational tooling, with Jenkins and Concourse CI (plus various code linting and validation tools).
