Platform Engineer

For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.

We’re looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to help the continued shaping of our technology delivery, including internal developer tools, HPC infrastructure, and storage solutions.

4. Develop automation for system provisioning, scaling, and maintenance using infrastructure as code principles.
5. Create proactive monitoring, alerting, and logging strategies to support system reliability goals.
6. Collaborate with operations, support, and application teams to ensure seamless technology delivery and align platform improvements with business needs.

Essential Accountabilities:

1. Strong Linux skills and experience in scripting or programming (Python, Bash, Go).
2. Proficiency in Kubernetes, Kafka, and similar cloud native technologies.
3. Experience designing and implementing automated deployment and configuration management (Ansible, Terraform).
