Platform Engineer
London, Hybrid (2x Per Week in Office)
Up to £80,000


This is an opportunity to join a fast growing, venture backed fintech at a genuinely pivotal moment. The platform has already scaled to support a complex, high value user base, and the business is now preparing for a major re-architecture that will shape the next phase of growth. You will play a key role in redefining core infrastructure, driving automation, and influencing technical direction from day one.


The Company
They are a well funded financial technology business operating in the high wealth space, focused on delivering intelligent, data driven financial insight rather than traditional asset or wealth management. The platform aggregates complex financial data into a single, intuitive view and provides tailored guidance aligned to long term life goals. The culture is collaborative, ideas led, and engineering driven, with a strong emphasis on quality, transparency, and continuous improvement.


The Role
  • Design, build, and evolve a scalable platform environment as part of a small, high impact engineering team.
  • Play a hands on role in a significant re platforming programme, modernising Kubernetes clusters, tooling, and architectural foundations.
  • Drive automation and reliability across infrastructure to support growth, performance, and security.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, data, and leadership stakeholders to shape technical decisions and priorities.
  • Contribute ideas, challenge assumptions, and help define best practice across the platform function.
Your Skills and Experience
  • Strong commercial experience working with Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Cloud platform exposure across AWS, GCP, or Azure, with an understanding of scalable infrastructure design.
  • Infrastructure as Code experience, with Terraform or similar tooling.
  • Confidence operating in change heavy environments such as scale ups or transformation programmes.
  • Clear communication skills and a proactive approach to collaboration and problem solving.
What They Offer
  • Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working from a London office, with flexibility depending on role and responsibilities.
  • The chance to influence architecture and platform strategy at a critical stage of growth.
  • A supportive, non hierarchical culture that values new ideas and technical ownership.
  • Long term career progression within a growing technology organisation.
