Platform Engineer
London, Hybrid (2x Per Week in Office)

Up to £80,000

This is an opportunity to join a fast growing, venture backed fintech at a genuinely pivotal moment. The platform has already scaled to support a complex, high value user base, and the business is now preparing for a major re-architecture that will shape the next phase of growth. You will play a key role in redefining core infrastructure, driving automation, and influencing technical direction from day one.

The Company
They are a well funded financial technology business operating in the high wealth space, focused on delivering intelligent, data driven financial insight rather than traditional asset or wealth management. The platform aggregates complex financial data into a single, intuitive view and provides tailored guidance aligned to long term life goals. The culture is collaborative, ideas led, and engineering driven, with a strong emphasis on quality, transparency, and continuous improvement.

The Role

  • Design, build, and evolve a scalable platform environment as part of a small, high impact engineering team.
  • Play a hands on role in a significant re platforming programme, modernising Kubernetes clusters, tooling, and architectural foundations.
  • Drive automation and reliability across infrastructure to support growth, performance, and security.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, data, and leadership stakeholders to shape technical decisions and priorities.
  • Contribute ideas, challenge assumptions, and help define best practice across the platform function.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong commercial experience working with Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Cloud platform exposure across AWS, GCP, or Azure, with an understanding of scalable infrastructure design.
  • Infrastructure as Code experience, with Terraform or similar tooling.
  • Confidence operating in change heavy environments such as scale ups or transformation programmes.
  • Clear communication skills and a proactive approach to collaboration and problem solving.

What They Offer

  • Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working from a London office, with flexibility depending on role and responsibilities.
  • The chance to influence architecture and platform strategy at a critical stage of growth.
  • A supportive, non hierarchical culture that values new ideas and technical ownership.
  • Long term career progression within a growing technology organisation.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
