Job Description - Platform Engineer

About us


 


Bondsmith is a fast growing digital cash savings platform focused on helping customers make the most of their money by offering access to a wide range of savings products.


We work with financial institutions like wealth managers, fintechs, banks, and advisors, providing them with tools to get better returns on cash, engage more effectively with clients, and simplify their operations. Our goal is to help savers get the most out of their cash.


At Bondsmith, our core values are rapid and continuous improvement, delivering good customer outcomes, and taking end to end ownership. Our team is made up of experienced professionals who are passionate about delivering excellent service and finding new ways to solve challenges in financial services. Joining us means working in a fast-paced environment where you will be making an impact on the financial lives of thousands of savers.


We’re regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.


 


We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to help design, build, and operate a secure, scalable cloud platform that enables product teams to ship fast and safely. You’ll work at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and security, building paved roads rather than one-off solutions.


This role is hands-on, highly technical, and ideal for someone who enjoys owning core platform capabilities and embedding security into everything they build.


This is a hybrid role - you will be required to work from the Leeds office at least 3 days a week.


What You’ll Do


  • Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform

  • Develop and operate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions

  • Manage Kubernetes deployments and application delivery with Argo CD (GitOps)

  • Build and maintain platform tooling that improves developer experience, reliability, and security

  • Implement and operate monitoring, logging, and alerting using the Elastic stack

  • Embed security into the platform and delivery pipelines (shift-left security)

  • Collaborate closely with application, security, and SRE teams

  • Troubleshoot platform issues and drive continuous improvements


Tech Stack


You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but experience in several of these is expected:



  • Cloud: AWS (EKS, IAM, VPC, EC2, S3, Security Hub, Inspector)

  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions

  • GitOps / CD: Argo CD

  • Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes

  • Monitoring & Logging: Elastic (ELK / Elastic Observability)

  • Security: Trivy, AWS Security Hub, AWS Inspector, security scanning tools

  • Scripting: Bash, Python, or similar


What We’re Looking For



  • Strong experience as a Platform, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineer

  • Hands-on AWS experience in production environments

  • Solid understanding of Kubernetes and modern deployment patterns

  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows

  • Practical experience with cloud and container security

  • Infrastructure-as-code mindset and strong automation skills

  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and owning shared platforms


Nice to Have



  • Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)

  • Familiarity with SRE principles and reliability engineering

  • Security certifications or deep interest in cloud security


About You: We’re looking for someone who is:



  • Confident & Motivated: You take initiative and are eager to tackle new challenges.

  • Independent: You’re comfortable working on tasks autonomously but enjoy collaborating with a team.

  • Quick to Learn: You’re excited to dive into new technologies and constantly improve your skills.

  • Team-Oriented: You value working with a high-performance team and contributing to a positive culture.

  • Dedicated & Resourceful: You bring a strong work ethic and a solutions-oriented mindset.

  • Customer-Focused: You’re driven by the chance to create solutions that make a difference for our customers.


Why Join Bondsmith?



  • Bondsmith is a fintech success story in the making. We’re a small, focused team delivering real value to major enterprise clients, and the demand for what we’re building continues to grow. As an early joiner, you’ll have the rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact, shape the future of our products, and grow alongside the company. If you're excited by high-growth environments and want your work to matter, Bondsmith is the place to be.
