Platform Engineer / Senior Platform Engineer (NGPO Strategy)

Overview:

The Next Generation Programme Office (NGPO) Strategy branch is looking for
motivated platform engineers with a collaborative, proactive attitude and a
passion for continuous learning.

You will be part of a team focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining
either cloud infrastructure and platform services OR on-premises infrastructure
and platform services for the Next Generation ANS (Air Navigation System),
depending on the specific deployment requirements.

Job Scope:

•Design & Maintain Mission-Critical Infrastructure: Architect, implement,
and maintain platform solutions for safety-critical applications, ensuring
compliance with industry standards for reliability, availability, and
performance in either cloud or on-premises environments.
• Platform Management: Work with either cloud-native technologies and
services (AWS, Azure) including compute, storage, networking, and
managed services, OR on-premises infrastructure including
virtualisation platforms, bare metal servers, and traditional networking
solutions, adapting quickly to new technologies as needed.
• Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Implement infrastructure
automation using Infrastructure as Code tools and configuration
management systems to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments in
your designated environment.
• Container Orchestration & Platform Services: Design and manage
containerised environments using container orchestration platforms
and related ecosystem tools to support application deployment and
scaling.
• Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams: Work closely with software
developers, architects, and other stakeholders to design, implement
and deploy scalable platform solutions. May also perform Site Reliability
Engineering (SRE) functions as part of the role responsibilities.
• Monitoring & Observability: Implement comprehensive monitoring,
logging, and alerting solutions to ensure platform health, performance,
and early issue detection across all environments.
• Security & Compliance: Apply security best practices, implement
security controls, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
for aviation systems in your designated platform environment.
• Data Platform Operations: Maintain and optimise data pipeline
infrastructure, streaming platforms, and analytics workloads as
secondary responsibility.
• Deployment & Integration: Perform platform deployment, integration
testing, and validation in production environments, ensuring seamless
service delivery.
• Troubleshooting & Performance Optimisation: Proactively identify and
resolve infrastructure, performance, and reliability issues across
development and production environments.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain thorough
documentation for infrastructure, processes, and operational
procedures, ensuring knowledge transfer and compliance requirements
are met.

Requirements:

• Trained in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or
equivalent.
• Platform engineering and infrastructure management experience in
either cloud or on-premises environments.
• Strong knowledge of either cloud-native architectures and microservices
patterns OR traditional infrastructure patterns and distributed systems
design.
• Core technical experience with:
• Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker Swarm,
OpenShift)
• Package management and deployment tools (e.g., Helm, Kustomize)
• Monitoring and observability stack (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, ELK
stack, Datadog)
• For Cloud Platform Focus - experience with:
• Major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
• Cloud-native services and managed solutions
• For On-Premises Platform Focus - experience with:
• Virtualisation platforms (e.g., VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, KVM)
• Configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef)
• Bare metal server management and data centre operations
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and automation tools.
• Understanding of cybersecurity concepts, including network security,
identity management, and compliance frameworks.
• Knowledge of networking concepts including VPCs/VLANs, load
balancers, DNS, and service mesh technologies.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation languages (e.g., Python, Bash,
PowerShell, Go).

Engineer desired skills and experience
• Having Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) background and experience,
including familiarity with service level objects, incident management,
and production system reliability practices.
• Experience with disaster recovery, backup strategies, and business
continuity planning.
• Experience in high-availability, fault-tolerant system design and
implementation.
• Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) environments experience.
• Basic understanding of data platform technologies and streaming
systems.
• Understanding of cost optimisation strategies and financial
management.
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks relevant to aviation and critical
infrastructure systems.
