Regulated, high stakes environments where downtime and security gaps aren't an option. They're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who can operate as a technical leader. Not a ticket taker. Someone who can architect cloud native solutions on AWS, set the standard for how the platform is built, and bring genuine site reliability engineering principles into the way the business operates. You'll be the person engineering teams turn to when they need a platform decision making. That means real ownership of architecture, real influence over direction, and the freedom to fix the things that slow delivery down. If you enjoy building resilient, well automated infrastructure in environments where compliance actually matters, this one could be a good fit. What You'll Be Doing Architect and build secure, scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform with an Infrastructure as Code first approach Design, run, and optimise Amazon EKS and containerised workloads across multiple environments Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to give engineering teams fast, safe, repeatable deployments Write automation and tooling in Python or Go to remove manual work and reduce operational overhead Support and optimise Amazon RDS environments for availability, performance, and security Embed site reliability principles across the platform, including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and blameless incident reviews Build out monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability so problems are spotted before customers feel them Design solutions that meet the security, audit, and regulatory requirements that come with financial services, trading, and gambling clients Work closely with software engineering teams to improve developer experience and delivery speed Lead technical decisions, set standards, and take architectural ownership of the platform What We're Looking For Strong background in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or SRE Deep hands on AWS experience, including networking, IAM, and security Commercial experience running Kubernetes in production, ideally EKS Expert level Terraform and Infrastructure as Code Solid experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions Strong programming ability in Python or Go, beyond basic scripting Confident with Linux administration, troubleshooting, and performance tuning Experience with Amazon RDS or similar managed database services Track record of architecting cloud native platforms in regulated or security sensitive environments Comfortable leading technical conversations with engineers and stakeholders alike Why Join?

Join Maplecroft and Property Claim Services (PCS) as a Senior Platform Engineering Technical Lead, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping and evolving the cloud platforms that power leading risk analytics products. This is a hands-on technical leadership position, combining people management, cloud architecture, platform engineering, and strategic decision-making. Reporting to the Head of Software, you'll lead a distributed infrastructure team spanning the UK and India while working closely with engineering teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and secure cloud solutions. The position is open for full remote within the UK, but there's preference for profiles who are commutable to Bath weekly - our hybrid policy stablishes 3 days per week in the office. You'll provide technical direction across two business units, with a primary focus on Maplecroft's AWS-based platforms, including: GRiD (Global Risk Dashboard) - Maplecroft's current flagship risk analytics platform, comprising a microservice architecture for mapping, commodity-specific and industry-specific data, and core country risk data. DataX - Maplecroft's internal platform for large-scale data processing, building and quality-assuring the risk indices that feed our client-facing products. GRiD 2 - Maplecroft's next-generation risk analytics platform, which will replace GRiD as our flagship SaaS product for risk management. GRiD 2 is built on Synergy Studio (VSS), a platform owned by our parent business unit, Catastrophe and Risk Solutions. Working within a modern cloud ecosystem leveraging AWS, AWS CDK, OpenTofu, ECS Fargate, Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, Batch, Step Functions, GitHub and Okta, you'll help guide architectural decisions, support platform modernisation, and drive engineering excellence. Why Join Us? This is an opportunity to influence the future of industry-leading risk analytics platforms while remaining deeply involved in technical decision-making. You'll work with modern AWS technologies, help shape engineering strategy, lead talented engineers, and contribute to the development of the next generation of Maplecroft's products in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment. Responsibilities Own the GRiD cloud platform end-to-end, including resilience, disaster recovery, multi-region architecture, and operational readiness. Act as the senior escalation point for complex infrastructure challenges, including permissions, deployment failures, and platform stability issues. Guide the transition from GRiD to GRiD 2, collaborating with the Catastrophe and Risk Solutions teams who develop Synergy Studio (VSS), the platform on which GRiD 2 is being built, to ensure a successful migration. Shape platform strategy and governance, providing guidance on architecture, tooling, and engineering best practices across AWS CDK and OpenTofu environments. Partner regularly with the Information Risk Officer to identify, prioritise, and remediate platform vulnerabilities. Remain actively involved in engineering work through code reviews, technical problem solving, and hands-on development when required. Drive innovation through prototyping, self-service infrastructure, developer tooling improvements, and AI-assisted development initiatives. Support agile delivery activities and contribute to a shared business-hours support rota. Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed team of infrastructure engineers through coaching, performance management, and career development. Qualifications Essential Minimum 5 years' experience working on customer-facing cloud platforms. Strong hands-on expertise with AWS across multiple accounts and regions, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments. Proven experience with both AWS CDK/CloudFormation and OpenTofu , including troubleshooting stack failures, rollbacks, and configuration drift. Experience building or operating serverless AWS architectures , particularly for production-scale data processing workloads. Experience designing and supporting multi-region, highly available platforms , including disaster recovery planning and testing. Strong understanding of AWS IAM , including roles, trust policies, and GitHub Actions OIDC federation. Professional development experience in Python . Excellent code review capabilities, providing pragmatic and constructive technical feedback. Demonstrated passion for continuous improvement, including developer experience, automation, AI-assisted engineering, and platform tooling. Experience leading technical initiatives and influencing engineering direction. Prior people management experience is highly desirable, although we welcome applications from exceptional senior engineers ready to take the next step into leadership. Desirable Experience with Okta or similar identity and access management platforms. Familiarity with Django and/or FastAPI . Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Sentry Cloud , Dynatrace , or similar platforms. Experience working with distributed engineering teams across multiple geographies.
