Full job description
At Scott Logic, we have a reputation for world-class software delivery. We are trusted by some of the world’s leading organisations to build reliable, high-performance, business-critical solutions – and expert advice.
Many of our clients look to us to lead across the full software lifecycle, from initial conception through to production deployment and beyond. Our Platform Engineers are a vital part of this – designing, building and managing cloud infrastructure and delivery platforms to support modern DevOps practices. Their work includes CI/CD processes and deployment pipelines, building the platform infrastructure to deliver robust, cost-effective services to end users at scale, and supporting all stages of migrating complex systems from on-premises infrastructure to a multitude of cloud providers.
These are hands-on, client-facing roles, with openings at senior or lead level to suit your experience. You may be leading teams, setting technical direction, advising clients or solving tough engineering challenges. Our clients include large global corporations and government departments, and you’ll be working on systems that make a difference to millions of people, within a company that is friendly, welcoming, and where individual contributions always make a difference.
Our Platform Engineers combine a deep level of fundamental knowledge of how to deploy and maintain reliable and scalable systems, with a broad awareness of wider software engineering principles and experience with the latest DevOps tooling, both cloud and on-prem. We’re technology-agnostic and we’re open minded when it comes to your existing skillset.
