Platform Engineer

Our Technology team of over 60 people sits right at the heart of our business. We build and maintain the solutions that power e-commerce, production and fulfilment, enabling our brands to delight our customers every day.

The Product Engineering team consists of five cross-functional squads who each own their own business and architectural domain, and are supported by our Platform, Domain Engineering, Data and IT teams.

Our platform uses technologies including Ruby and Rails and Python/ React, backed by PostgreSQL, Fargate/ECS on AWS, and Cloud Run on GCP. It exposes APIs that are used by our multi-brand Angular webapp and our native iOS and Android mobile apps.  We’re also looking at developing new domain driven services & microservices where applicable.

Most of our team is based in the UK or The Netherlands and works in a flexible model, with choice in how often they travel to the office. Our squads meet in person at least once per quarter in order to maintain connections, collaborate on larger projects and have fun together.

⚙️ What you’ll be doing:

As a Platform Engineer you’ll work across the whole of Technology — Frontend, Backend, Data Engineering, Data Science and Warehouse Tech — helping other engineers ship better, faster, and more safely. You’ll split your time roughly equally between embedded engagements inside domain squads and central platform work on the shared infrastructure. AI-assisted ways of working run through both.

The role of an engineer is changing. AI has removed writing code as the scarce skill; the valuable engineer is the one who picks the right problems, scopes them, and owns them through to how they behave in production. This role leans into that shift. You will carry a high degree of autonomy — the work is not always handed to you as tickets; you identify it, shape it, and own it end-to-end.

** Please note that this is a remote role.
