Requirements
Must:
As a Platform Engineer, I am looking for candidates who possess the following skills and experiences:
- Proven experience with a major cloud provider, preferably AWS.
- A basic working understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts including virtual machines, networking, storage, and databases.
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, particularly AWS CDK, is highly desired.
- Familiarity with building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using various tools.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, allowing for effective explanation of complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in an Agile development environment, with skills in refining tickets, estimating work, and breaking down user stories into smaller tasks.
Responsibilities
In my role as a Platform Engineer, I will be responsible for:
- Designing and building reusable infrastructure-as-code templates and CI/CD pipelines to ensure standardization and speed up development across teams.
- Assisting in the creation and maintenance of a single source of truth for our technology ecosystem, which will include a central application directory, system diagrams, and standardized monitoring and alerting dashboards.
- Enhancing system reliability by defining key metrics, implementing robust monitoring solutions, and supporting the creation of a backup and business continuity plan.
- Collaborating with technical teams to understand their needs, providing guidance on best practices, and establishing governance over software and infrastructure.
Description
As a founding member of the Platform Engineering team, I recognize that my impact will greatly influence the transformation of my department. In my first year, I will aim to achieve several key milestones including establishing a centralized application directory, contributing to system documentation for our applications and infrastructure, ensuring infrastructure governance by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies, and playing a pivotal role in developing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for our core applications. I am a pragmatic, curious engineer who thrives on collaboration and sees technology as a means to solve business challenges. I take pride in delivering maintainable systems that are well-documented and user-friendly, while adhering to engineering best practices. I am a flexible thinker, capable of adapting established practices to suit our unique environment, and I enjoy engaging with my team as much as I relish tackling technical puzzles. Experience with Scrum or another Agile framework is appreciated. As a company focused on sustainability, we welcome a passion for environmental issues. I offer attractive benefits, including a healthcare plan, life assurance, generous pension contributions, and hybrid working options. Together, as part of Ecotricity, we will continue our mission to transform how energy is produced and used in Britain and support our Group Environmental Policy.
