Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer | London | Up to £120,000

I’m working with a fast-scaling AI company who just raised 75M in the Series A and already working with some of the most recognisable organisations in the world. They’re building an AI-native workspace that’s changing how enterprises operate, with live deployments already proving real impact.

They’re now looking for a experienced Platform Engineer to join their London team. This is a chance to work directly with a proven founding team (multiple successful exits) and play a key role in building production-ready AI systems used globally.

The Role

The company is growing quickly, and the infrastructure needs to grow with it. They are looking for a Platform Engineer who has done this before , someone who can architect cloud systems from the ground up, keep them secure and audit-ready, and give the engineering team the tooling they need to ship fast and ship confidently. If you love owning things end-to-end, this one's for you.

What You'll Own

• Design, build, and evolve our cloud infrastructure to keep pace with rapid product growth
• Lead SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit preparation, turning compliance into a competitive advantage
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines across backend, frontend, and data services
• Establish company-wide observability — logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and on-call culture
• Take ownership of cloud cost management, optimising spend without compromising performance
• Champion operational excellence across the engineering org

What You'll Bring

Technical

• Cloud & IaC: Azure (AWS a bonus), Terraform, AKS / Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions
• Observability: Hands-on experience with logging, metrics, and distributed tracing frameworks
• Security: Secrets management, security scanning, and infrastructure hardening best practices
• Networking: VPCs, DNS, load balancers, VPNs, firewalls — you know your way around
• Data: Provisioning and scaling production-grade PostgreSQL, MySQL, NoSQL, and blob storage
• Scripting: Strong Python or Bash for automation and internal tooling

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• Work directly with a world-class founding team
• Opportunity to shape the platform as they expand globally
• High-energy, ambitious, and collaborative culture

This won’t be easy, priorities shift, timelines are ambitious, and expectations are high. But if you’re looking to be part of something career-defining and at the forefront of applied AI, this could be the right move.

If this sounds interesting please get in touch, as they are very active in the hiring process!
