About you

You know that “perfect is the enemy of great”, and that software engineering isn't about admiring problems but about collaborating to find solutions that work.

We would like you to have a background in building highly scalable systems, great communication and organisational skills, a motivation to achieve results, eagerness to learn and, of course, a passion for innovation.

We believe diversity of thought is crucial in helping us find broader solutions to tough challenges. We have dedicated teams with bags of experience, so the engineers we recruit can stretch their talents regardless of domain background.

About the role

Platform Engineering is the function which provides the foundation for the 10x SuperCore providing the runtime environment which abstracts our feature development teams from the underlying infrastructure provision. As a Platform Engineer you will be part of an open, collaborative, and innovative environment and will work on a platform responsible for the money of millions of people. We believe in iterative development and responding to change.

Our tech stack is modern, and we are not shy about using the right tool for each job. Between greenfield product development and raising the bar for existing features, you will have interesting challenges to solve every day.

In our teams, everyone has a voice and is encouraged to be involved at every stage of development of our product, from inception to production.

Our tech stack

• Golang and Python platform tooling estate
• Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Docker, Helm, Terraform, AWS, GCP
• Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL
• Jenkins, ConcourseCI, SonarQube, Checkmarx
• Java / Spring Boot / Quarkus microservice estate

Requirements

Ideally you will have…

• A deep understanding of good practices in software development
• A passion for quality and testing best practices
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes and Kubernetes Operators
• Worked on scaled, production systems and services
• Proficiency in a programming language such as Go or Python
• An understanding of GitOps methodologies

If you also have experience with any of the following, we'd love to hear from you…

• Working with multi-cloud use-cases
• Running Kubernetes on bare metal or outside of public cloud
• Managing external resources from Kubernetes

However...

A desire to get stuck in is more important than ticking every box on our checklist. So, if you’re interested in what we’re building and excited by our mission, get in touch anyway!

10x Ways of Working

We recognise that a better work/life balance can improve people’s motivation, performance and overall wellbeing. The Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things about the way we work, including the enablement of colleagues working from various locations and delivering high performance through the effective use of remote working technology.

As all employees are employed on London-based contracts, commuting costs to the office are covered by employees and not by 10x.

Equal opportunities for all

At 10x we are passionate about our people and are committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive culture. We are building a community where every 10xer can bring their authentic self to work and feel empowered to reach their full potential. Our many employee networks help amplify this vision.  

Alongside assessing technical capabilities to do the role, our assessment process will identify what you can uniquely bring to our 10x teams, and the potential you have to thrive here. Common to every role that 10xers perform, are 3 core competencies that we look for in our future 10xers – Business Impact, Change Driver & Delivery Excellence

We are committed to ensuring all job applicants are treated equally and fairly and encourage applicants of all ethnicities, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, age, neurodiversity or disability status. 

Accommodations

We recognize not everyone is the same. In fact, we embrace difference. If you require any form of accommodation during the interview process, please tell us so we can make arrangements to support. Any information that you provide will be recorded and maintained confidentially.
