Platform Engineer

Remote, UK

6 Month Contract

An exciting opportunity for a Platform Engineer with strong Go and/or Python skills to join a prestigious tech client on a contract basis. This is a well-regarded engineering environment where contractors speak highly of the fast-paced, collaborative culture, and the real autonomy they’re given to make an impact.

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll help design, build, and support the infrastructure and tooling that underpins critical systems – from CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling to service deployment and runtime environments. You’ll be part of a high-trust team that values clean code, quick iteration, and leaving things better than you found them.

The Platform Engineer will work closely with product teams and fellow engineers to improve developer experience, scalability, and reliability across the stack. This isn’t a ticket factory - you’ll be expected to contribute ideas, challenge assumptions, and shape the platform.

Platform Engineer – Key Requirements:

• Strong professional experience in platform, infrastructure, or backend engineering
• Proficiency in Go and/or Python for building internal tooling and services
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and modern CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
• Comfortable working on distributed systems and improving developer workflows
• A product mindset and a collaborative approach to problem-solving
• Experience with Kafka, gRPC, or open-source contributions is a bonus

If you’re a Platform Engineer who thrives in high-trust, fast-moving environments and enjoys building tools that empower others – apply now. The client is ready to onboard quickly.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
