Location: London, Manchester, Ipswich, and Cheltenham.
Role Type: 6 Months Contract and Hybrid role.
About the Role We are seeking a Senior Platform & Automation Engineer who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with deep infrastructure-as-code (IaC) expertise. You will own and evolve our core infrastructure, driving automation across our entire technical stack-all delivered seamlessly through unified CI/CD pipelines.
This role requires a developer background (strong Python) to ensure our infrastructure code and automation workflows adhere to modern software design standards.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code: Design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible.
Automation & Scripting: Develop custom automation tools, internal CLI systems, and integration scripts primarily in Python.
CI/CD Orchestration: Manage standard continuous delivery pipelines, integrating infrastructure updates, container deployments, and tool setups directly into developer workflows.
Tech Stack Delivery: Automate the provisioning and configuration of our operational ecosystem, including tools across observability (Prometheus, Elastic, Checkmk), security/compliance (Tenable, Red Hat Satellite), service registry/IPAM (NetBox), container orchestration (ArgoCD), and artifact management (Artifactory, GitLab).
Engineering Standards: Apply developer methodologies-such as version control, code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD-to all infrastructure configurations.
Required Skills & Experience
Software Development Foundation: Strong background in software engineering or development, with hands-on coding experience in Python.
Core IaC Expertise: Proven experience with Terraform (provisioning) and Ansible (configuration management).
Pipeline Delivery: Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) to ship both software and infrastructure changes. xjnqpsq
Linux Environment: Solid understanding of Enterprise Linux environments (e.g., RHEL).
