Full job descriptionPlatform Engineer
Taunton, Somerset | Permanent | Hybrid - 2 Days per week on-site | up to £50,000 per annum
Our growing client is looking to onboard a Platform Engineer with 3–5 years of experience on a permanent basis. The ideal candidate will have a passion for building infrastructure through code and thrive at the intersection of development and operations. You will contribute to the architecture and maintenance of infrastructure supporting modern cloud-native applications, working hands-on with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and containerised environments. This role offers the opportunity to help build a reliable, scalable foundation for the business’s applications and services.
Responsibilities:
*Design, build, and maintain secure and scalable infrastructure using Bicep, YAML, and modern containerisation tools.
*Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
*Support the deployment and monitoring of applications in Kubernetes environments.
*Collaborate closely with software developers to ensure infrastructure meets product needs and is easily testable and maintainable.
*Create internal tools and scripts to automate developer workflows and infrastructure provisioning.
*Act as a liaison between development and operations, helping improve observability, reliability, and deployment resilience.
*Promote infrastructure best practices, documentation standards, and knowledge sharing across teams.
Qualifications & Experience:
*3–5 years’ experience in a professional software or infrastructure engineering role, ideally within a larger team environment.
*Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools – especially Bicep and YAML.
*Strong familiarity with containerisation technologies such as Docker, and ideally orchestration with Kubernetes.
*Experience with CI/CD pipelines, particularly in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
*Solid understanding of cloud architecture, preferably in Azure environments.
*Strong communication and collaboration skills – you’ll be working day-to-day with developers, testers, and stakeholders.
*A proactive mindset – you’re not afraid to take ownership, identify inefficiencies, and suggest improvements.
Due to the volume of applications received for positions, it will not be possible to respond to all applications and only applicants who are considered suitable for interview will be contacted.
