Platform Engineer II

As MOO scales its operations, we are breaking down our monolithic application and moving

towards a microservices architecture. As a part of this journey, we decided to completely rebuild

a part of our application in order to support a growing number of enterprise customers and have

a B2B focused application.

Therefore, we are now expanding our Platform Engineer team to support the continued

challenges of ensuring the reliability and security of our applications and this needs a Platform

Engineer to join the team.

The Platform Engineer will be coming in to evangelise a continuous improvement to the ethos in

the business to make sure we are ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest services and

tools we can use to improve our ways of working.

You will be working with the engineering team to ensure the availability of our environments and

to ensure they have everything they need to be able to make multiple deployments a day.

Tech Stack: Our application is run completely in AWS, primarily on EC2 and EKS, with a view to

move to a serverless architecture using AWS services such as Lambda. The platform team

primarily makes use of Terraform, Ansible and Kubernetes (specifically ArgoCD) to manage

infrastructure.
