About YLD:

Everything we do is to empower our clients to move forward. Our purpose is to help our clients develop the capabilities they need to outperform their competitors. Our success is a consequence of ensuring our clients are successful. Our company is built on extraordinary people; we aim to attract, inspire, develop and retain them. YLD is a software engineering and design consultancy; we create digital capabilities for our clients that last beyond our engagement. We have offices in London, Lisbon, Porto.

About the role:

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll be part of a client team building innovative products. We expect you to be curious, passionate, driven, and enthusiastic. You’ll be proficient at problem-solving, helping to deliver the core infrastructure, associated pipelines and related services in a pragmatic way that focuses on keeping the Platform team a core component of software delivery, from providing the platform for application developers to build on. You’ll be an effective communicator and a team player. You and your team will move in a fast-paced engineering environment, achieving outstanding results and delivering exciting projects.

Your Dev experience will include:

  • Previous CI/CD experience;

  • Experienced in Java, Node.js, or Go — but any relevant development experience (e.g. Powershell or Bash) is a huge plus;

  • An advocate for TDD: writing infrastructure or code without tests should be unthinkable;

  • A solid understanding and passion for excellent software development practices

Your Ops experience will include:

  • Significant production experience;

  • Strong background with container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes;

  • Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure;

  • Thorough understanding of infrastructure as code tools, including Terraform and Ansible (ARM Template, Bicep, or Pulumi are also welcome);

  • Proven experience building, shipping, and running using Docker;

  • Understanding how a Load Balancer works and having used Traefik, Nginx, HAProxy, or a Cloud-based Load Balancer;

  • Comfortable working in a Linux/RHEL/Ubuntu environment.

What you’ll get in return:

  • The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business.

Our typical Recruitment Process looks like this:

  • 1st Interview with someone from the Talent team (30/45 mins)
  • Technical Interview with our Senior Developers (1h30)
  • Meet and discuss with a Client Partner (15/30mins)

We live and breathe our values, and know you will too:

  • Growing every day
  • Including everyone
  • Relationships built on honesty and ethics
  • Inspiring solutions
  • Winning together

We’re an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity of all kinds. We don’t discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, age, marital status, or disability status. We also believe in work-life balance and offer flexible working around our core hours.
