Join us, be part of more.
We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that’s energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently – we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.
At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it.
We’re energy movers by nature. We’re a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use – powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you.
Great platforms should make it easier for people to build, deploy and improve products, without requiring every developer to become an expert in the infrastructure underneath. We are growing our Cloud Platform team and looking for a junior or mid-level engineer who wants to learn quickly while helping us create exactly that kind of experience.
You will work with AWS, Kubernetes and modern infrastructure tooling while supporting a platform used by around 80 developers and data scientists. It is a role with plenty of variety, from solving day-to-day technical challenges to automation and observability, alongside experienced engineers who will help you grow into broader platform engineering work.
If you are curious about cloud-native technology, enjoy getting to the bottom of problems and instinctively look for ways to make repetitive work simpler, this could be a great place to make your next move.
Our Cloud Platform team builds and runs the cloud platform that supports around 80 developers and data scientists. We want our users to spend their time creating great products rather than navigating the complexities of Kubernetes or AWS, which puts developer experience and simplicity at the heart of how we work. Joining the team gives you broad exposure to our platform and the opportunity to learn alongside experienced engineers as you gradually take on larger platform challenges.
Your day-to-day work will bring you close to both the people using our platform and the technology behind it. You will:
- Help developers get the most from the platform by answering questions, supporting onboarding and assisting with day-to-day use.
- Follow up on incidents and alerts, investigate what happened and help address the underlying issues.
- Keep our infrastructure healthy while improving how easily our systems can be observed and understood.
- Automate repetitive tasks and make practical improvements to our tooling and security.
- Take part in our 24/7 weekly on-call rotation once you have had an initial period to get familiar with the platform and how we work.
Our platform runs on AWS and uses managed services including EKS, RDS and MSK, alongside open-source software across several Kubernetes clusters. Infrastructure is declarative and managed through Git, with Terraform and ArgoCD as well as a broad observability stack. We also build tools for application delivery and CI, primarily using Go and C#, alongside scripting.
