The Role
Platform Engineers and Data Engineers in the Platform Engineering function build and operate the foundations that the rest of engineering relies on – infrastructure, delivery pipelines, observability, and services that keep software teams moving fast and shipping safely. The Platform team works closely with stream‑aligned development teams to understand their needs and remove friction. This role carries real ownership of infrastructure, tooling, and practices that daily enable engineering teams, including Software Engineers and AI Engineers.
Responsibilities
- Write and maintain infrastructure‑as‑code, ensuring changes are version‑controlled, reviewed, and reproducible; manage state, drift, and cost.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that provide fast feedback loops and reliable deployments, incorporating feature flags, rollback strategies, and staged rollouts.
- Instrument systems with logs, metrics, and traces; build dashboards and alerts; treat observability as part of the definition of done for every new system.
- Apply reliability‑engineering practices – SLIs, SLOs, error budgets – and contribute to incident response, post‑mortems, and preventative follow‑up actions.
- Work directly with engineers across the group to understand workflows, identify friction, and improve the developer experience.
- Own your work, communicate clearly, and approach disagreement with curiosity rather than defensiveness.
Qualifications
- Experience with infrastructure‑as‑code using OpenTofu, Terraform, or similar tools.
- Experience using Ansible or similar for configuration management and automation.
- Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Hands‑on experience with GitOps tools such as Flux or ArgoCD.
- Strong knowledge in observability – setting up monitoring, troubleshooting production issues using logs, metrics, and traces.
- Strong experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines.
- Exposure to both on‑premise and cloud platforms is beneficial.
- Comfortable with scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell to support automation and tooling.
- Applicants must have permanent right to work in the UK.
Benefits
Competitive remuneration, private medical healthcare, company pension scheme, car scheme, and flexible working arrangements including hybrid options. On‑site facilities in Enstone include a free gym and subsidised restaurant, and an additional holiday buy‑back scheme. Platform Engineering makes the software possible, giving you direct impact on the car’s performance on track.
