We are working closely with a well-established UK SaaS business operating at scale, serving enterprise customers across regulated industries worldwide. Their newly formed Platform Engineering Group (2 x teams of 3+, serving a larger Engineering function of 50+ globally, across 3 main product streams!) is building the internal developer platform that engineering teams rely on to build, ship, and run their software and they are looking for a Platform focused S oftware Engineer to help shape it from the inside. Location: UK, fully remote (occasional team days in London HQ). Salary: £80,000 to £85,000 depending on experience, plus 10% bonus and an extensive benefits package . Contract type: permanent. Job title: Platform Software Engineer. Some other titles that may suit: Software Engineer, Platform. Developer Experience Engineer. Software Engineer - Developer tooling. What you'll be doing Designing and building internal developer tooling, templates, and scaffolding that make the right way to build software the easy way. Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that are reliable, observable, and a pleasure to work with. Owning IaC for the platform layer - writing production-grade infrastructure code rather than clicking through consoles. Collaborating directly with engineers, architects, and stakeholders to understand pain points and deliver tooling that genuinely moves the needle. Setting patterns and standards that other engineers will build on - treating developer experience as a product with internal teams as your users. What you need to bring Strong software engineering foundations with real depth in at least one language and considered views on testing - unit, integration, and contract as a first-class part of shipping software (Any language: Java, C#, Go, Python, Typescript / JavaScript) Hands-on experience designing and building CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions, and a track record of building tooling or automation that other engineers depend on. Experience with IaC: Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or CDK and comfortable running containerised workloads in production. To be clear: this is NOT a traditional "DevOps" role! (Some elements, but we have whole other teams for this) AWS experience is a strong plus, as is exposure to continuous release practices and progressive delivery. Why you ll love this job You will be in at the start - a pattern-setting role in a newly formed group, with real influence over how a global SaaS engineering organisation builds and ships software. A benefits package built around looking after people: private health insurance, income protection, life assurance, subsidised gym, pension, 25 days holiday plus your birthday off. A culture that backs continuous improvement. If you can see a better way to do something, you will be encouraged to say so and given the space to make it happen. If you are a software engineer who wants to make a real difference to how engineering teams work, we would love to hear from you. Apply now with your CV or professional profile.
