• Improving platform reliability through automation and operational improvements
• Writing scripts and tooling to remove manual processes and improve efficiency
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
• Working with developers and engineering teams to improve platform performance
• Managing IAM, security controls, and cloud governance standards
• Producing operational documentation, runbooks, and technical guides
• Supporting production environments as part of an on-call rota

Senior and lead engineers will also help mentor other team members, review technical approaches, and drive operational best practices across the wider platform team.
