Lead Platform Engineer | Remote

I'm currently supporting a high-growth technology organisation looking to hire a Lead Platform Engineer to help shape the future of engineering productivity across the business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has progressed from a Software Engineering background into Platform Engineering, DevOps or Engineering Enablement and enjoys solving problems at scale.

The role will focus on:

✅ Platform Engineering & Internal Tooling

✅ CI/CD Optimisation & Developer Productivity

✅ AI-Assisted Software Development

✅ Engineering Standards & Best Practice

✅ Cross-Team Technical Leadership

You'll work closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to improve development workflows, drive adoption of modern tooling and help shape the next generation of engineering capabilities.

We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who:

• Have a Software Engineering background (Go beneficial but not essential)

• Have experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps or Developer Enablement

• Are passionate about AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot etc.)

• Have strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills

• Enjoy improving the way engineering teams build and deliver software

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly technical environment where you'll have significant influence, autonomy and the opportunity to drive meaningful change.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
