About the role:

We're working with a large enterprise organisation undertaking a significant engineering modernisation initiative and looking for a DevOps or Platform Leader to join a growing Platform Engineering capability.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Own and prioritise the engineering platform roadmap
  • Drive the adoption of GitHub Enterprise and modern engineering practices
  • Lead platform modernisation initiatives, including migration from legacy tooling
  • Define and evolve platform standards, guardrails and operating models
  • Improve developer experience through self-service capabilities and paved-path solutions
  • Contribute to the organisation's emerging AI-enabled engineering capabilities
About You:

  • Background in Platform Engineering, DevOps or Software Engineering
  • Experience working with developer platforms, internal engineering products or engineering enablement initiatives
  • Strong understanding of GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
  • Experience delivering large-scale technology transformation, migration or modernisation initiatives
  • Able to balance standardisation and governance with developer autonomy and usability
Why Consider It?
  • Significant investment in Platform Engineering
  • Opportunity to influence engineering tooling and developer experience at scale
  • No direct reports, but plenty of influence
  • Early-stage AI journey with an opportunity to contribute to the direction
