Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to help build and operate the multi-account AWS platforms that power Lendable’s products. You’ll join a Platform Engineering team of eight and work closely with product engineering teams across the business.

This is a hands-on production role where reliability and fast recovery matter. You’ll contribute to the design, delivery and operation of platform capabilities, working with more experienced engineers to make our systems safer, easier to use and more efficient.

We build with self-service in mind: creating paved roads, useful abstractions and sensible guardrails so product teams can move quickly without needing to understand all the underlying complexity.

Build, configure and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt, with support from the wider Platform Engineering team

Help operate Kubernetes, GitOps and observability tooling in production

Investigate and resolve platform issues, contributing to incident response and post-incident improvements

Share an on-call rotation with the team

Support progressive rollouts, canary deployments and safe rollbacks

Contribute to CI/CD and developer tooling that improves the engineering experience

Partner with engineering teams on infrastructure, database and deployment best practices

Help improve self-service capabilities and platform adoption across teams

Apply security practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle

Contribute to policy-as-code, OIDC-based cloud access, secret scanning and pre-merge controls

Work with the Platform Engineering and Security teams to improve the safety of our systems

Use AI-assisted tooling for code generation, debugging and platform operations

Share knowledge through documentation, pairing and constructive code reviews

Build the confidence to take on increasing ownership of platform components over time

Practical experience deploying and supporting applications running on Kubernetes

Experience working with a cloud platform, ideally AWS

Working knowledge of infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform

Experience with modern CI/CD tooling

Comfort scripting in at least one of TypeScript/Node, Python or Go

A good grounding in Linux, networking and security fundamentals

Experience troubleshooting production systems and working through operational issues

Terragrunt or Helm

GitHub Actions, ArgoCD or Flux

Datadog, Prometheus or Grafana

PostgreSQL or MySQL

Supporting developer-experience or internal-platform improvements

Working with security tooling or policy-as-code

We don’t expect every box to be ticked. If you have a strong foundation, practical production experience and the curiosity to keep learning, we’d like to hear from you.
