Platform engineer in fintech

I'm working with a long-established, consistently profitable online financial business that wants a software engineer for its three-person platform team. You'll run the platform behind 400+ C# microservices and write the code that makes life easier for the 30 developers who rely on it every day. This suits a developer who has moved towards infrastructure. You've built services commercially, and you've built and run things in AWS with Terraform. The team are developers first, so your coding background counts for more here than years of pipeline scripting.

• You'll run the platform behind 400+ C# microservices and write the code that makes life easier for the 30 developers who rely on it every day.
• You'll keep writing code, including C# services that process branches and hand releases to the testing service.
• You'll know the friction developers hit because you've hit it yourself, and you'll build the fixes.
• You'll set requirements, decide how to meet them and choose what to tackle next.
• Work splits roughly 50/50 between support and projects, from app work to the yearly Kubernetes upgrade, and the team moves on quickly when something more useful comes up.
• They want people who spot where it helps and bring it in

• commercial developer experience, C#/.NET ideally, or Node.js/TypeScript
• building and running it, ideally on AWS
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC), ideally Terraform
• hands-on, and keen to push them further
• you'll support around 30 engineers day to day
• Будет плюсом: Observability: building monitoring and alerting; Security principles and best practice; Internal developer tooling for a large microservice estate

• above-market base plus a generous bonus
• Bonus based on company, department and individual performance
• Early or standard shift pattern to suit you
• 2 weeks fully remote per year
• 25 days holiday, rising to 30 after 2 years
• Contributory pension
• Private medical insurance
