Description
We are hiring for a brand-new Principal Platform Engineer role for one of our long-standing clients, and we are looking for a cool person who wants to shape, not just deliver, cloud platforms at scale. We design and build some of the most secure AWS environments in the UK, supporting national security, defence, and highly regulated public sector organisations. This is a 60% hands-on / 40% hands-off role, ideal for a senior engineer who still loves being close to the tech but also thrives on architecture ownership, stakeholder influence, and team leadership. Youll have the opportunity to shape a new role with real autonomy and influence while working on nationally critical, genuinely interesting projects. We offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and an up to 5% employer pension contribution.
