Quick facts
- Team: Engineering
- Reports to: Head of Engineering
- Location: Remote, UK or abroad, with a few hours of daily UK overlap
- Contract: Full time, permanent
- Salary: £65,000 to £85,000, plus share options
- Start date: As soon as we find the right person
Your first 90 days
- By day 30: you've mapped our current infrastructure, security posture and developer workflows, and you understand where the biggest opportunities and risks are.
- By day 60: you've shipped your first improvements and shared a prioritised roadmap for the platform, agreed with the engineering team.
- By day 90: you're delivering steadily against that roadmap, with early wins in place across security, reliability or developer experience, and clear ownership of the platform established.
What you'll be doing
- Own and evolve our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud, shaping how it's structured, secured and scaled so product teams can ship with confidence.
- Extend our infrastructure-as-code coverage so changes are repeatable, reviewable and safe, and our environments are cleanly separated.
- Build on our identity, access and secrets management, maturing our existing least-privilege access and secret rotation as the platform scales.
- Keep our security posture strong and audit-ready, maintaining our ISO 27001 certification and leading both certification and client security audits.
- Own our Kubernetes platform end to end, keeping clusters and workloads current, reliable and easy for teams to use.
- Own and improve our build and deployment pipelines on self-hosted Buildkite, along with the local tooling, containerisation and paved-road workflows that make our engineers faster.
- Run a steady cadence of upgrades and patching across the platform, along with DNS and certificate management, keeping everything current with minimal disruption.
- Improve infrastructure observability and visibility, so we understand cost, health and performance across our environments.
What you'll bring
- Deep, hands-on experience running production workloads on a major cloud platform, ideally Google Cloud.
- A track record of operating Kubernetes in production, from cluster operations to sensible workload patterns.
- Fluency with infrastructure-as-code, ideally Terraform, and the instinct to codify everything.
- Strong cloud security fundamentals across identity and access, secrets, and network security.
- Experience owning CI/CD pipelines and improving how teams build and deploy.
- Comfortable being hands-on in our codebase: you're happy to write some Elixir, for example standing up an Oban LiveView dashboard or building internal tooling, or you have a background in a functional language or Ruby and are genuinely keen to learn Elixir.
- The seniority to own and shape a function: you set standards, make sound architecture decisions independently, and bring others with you.
- An enablement-first mindset, building guard rails and paved roads rather than gates and bottlenecks.
Bonus points
- Production experience with Elixir, Erlang/OTP, Phoenix or LiveView, or a background in Ruby.
- Experience maintaining ISO 27001, SOC 2 or similar, and handling security audits with customers.
- Reliability practices such as service-level objectives and incident management.
- Awareness of cloud cost management.
- Experience mentoring engineers or growing a small team.
How we work is shaped by four values:
- We care: about our team, our customers, and the people who see the marketing messages that we power. Work isn't done until we can prove it's useful to both the consumer and the customer.
- Be that person: if something needs fixing, fix it. It's never someone else's problem.
- People-first: we put people at the core of everything, and never compromise security or privacy for results.
- Be better today than you were yesterday: we bake learning and continuous improvement into everything we do, for ourselves and our customers.
What's in it for you
- Share options in Driftrock, on founder-friendly, tax-efficient EMI terms, including the option to retain vested options after leaving (at board discretion).
- Comprehensive Vitality health cover: medical, dental, vision, hearing, mental-health support and therapy, cancer cover, a free Headspace subscription and Vitality rewards.
- 24 to 28 days' holiday (24 + 1 extra each year, capped at 28), plus bank holidays.
- Pension contributions, life assurance (3x salary) and income protection.
- Electric car salary-sacrifice scheme (Octopus): save up to ~40%, with insurance, servicing and a charging perk included.
- Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
- A learning budget for books, courses and conferences, plus time for personal goals.
- Perks and discounts via CharlieHR, and a BMW Group employee discount programme.
