Platform Engineer (Developer Experience)

The team: Developer Experience (DevX) is the heart of engineering productivity at Zopa. We are a high-impact squad of 6 engineers who treat our internal platform as a product, and our fellow Zopa engineers as our customers.    Our mission is to build the tools that let every product engineer maintain compliance whilst having a world-class experience in shipping their code. We are currently starting a landmark project migrating our entire Fintech infrastructure from self-hosted Jenkins to a SaaS-based GitHub Actions platform.     You will work across a modern stack including Go, AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), ArgoCD, Terraform, Vault, Honeycomb and DX.   Key requirements for the role are:

1. Strong customer centric mindset with proven experience
2. Leading migration massive plus but proven GitHub Actions pipeline design at scale experience is essential

  A day in the life: As a Senior DevX Engineer, your focus isn't on deploying software for teams, fixing their pipelines, or troubleshooting incidents; you are architecting the future of how Zopa builds software. You will spend 50-80% of your time writing high-quality code to build internal CLI tools, automation providers, and self-service platforms.    The rest of your day is spent as a strategic consultant and leader. You’ll be:    - Architecting the Platform Evolution: Designing the templates and workflows that will move hundreds of microservices onto GitHub Actions.  - Stakeholder Engagement: Meeting with product squads to identify friction points and writing technical RFCs to solve them.  - Data-Driven Optimization: Analyzing DORA/DX metrics to prove that your tools have increased delivery experience (speed, stability, flow).  - Mentoring: Levelling up our mid-level and associate engineers through pairing and high-standard code reviews.
