Kittoffices
Kitt designs and operates workspace for the world's most vibrant brands. From managing the design and build, to creating an elevated ongoing experience, we create spaces that are worth leaving home for. Role Mission Reporting directly into one of our Head of Engineering, you'll own and evolve the infrastructure, deployment pipelines and security posture that the rest of engineering builds on top of. This is an infrastructure first role with real depth: you'll spend most of your time in our cloud and DevOps stack, but you'll also get hands on with our Go backend services - fixing, extending and building features when the work calls for it. We define ourselves as product engineers - we love building things that make a tangible difference, whether that's a feature a customer touches or a pipeline that makes every engineer faster. As a Platform Engineer you'll treat developer experience and reliability as products in their own right, with internal teams as your customers. This is a role for someone who wants to own infra and DevOps end to end - self directed, ambitious, and eager to get stuck in. You won't be waiting to be told what to fix; you'll be the person who spots it, scopes it and ships it. Responsibilities Own the infrastructure: Take ownership of our AWS based infrastructure as code (Terraform), our EKS Kubernetes clusters, and the supporting services that keep 40 microservices running across dev, staging and production Run and improve CI/CD: Maintain and evolve our CircleCI pipelines and custom Kitt CLI tooling, making builds and deployments faster, safer and easier for the whole team DevOps & developer experience: Improve how engineers ship - from Helm charts and Skaffold based dev workflows to local environments - treating internal tooling as a product SecOps: Help keep us secure and compliant - secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager + External Secrets), IAM and access control, threat detection and vulnerability findings (GuardDuty, Inspector), and supporting our ISO 27001 work Observability & reliability: Build and tune monitoring, dashboards and alerting (Datadog) so we catch issues early and understand our systems in production Backend development: Dig into our Go microservices - gRPC, GraphQL gateway, MySQL/Postgres/Redis - to fix issues, add features and improve the services your infrastructure runs Cost & scalability: Keep an eye on cloud spend and scaling (Karpenter autoscaling, right sizing) and make pragmatic calls that balance cost, performance and reliability About you DevOps & infrastructure experience: Solid hands on experience running infrastructure and deployment pipelines in production - this is the core of the role AWS: Strong, practical AWS experience is a must (EC2, EKS/Kubernetes, IAM, networking, secrets). GCP experience is a nice to have given our polycloud setup Infrastructure as code: Comfortable with Terraform (or similar) and treating infrastructure as version controlled, reviewable code Kubernetes & containers: Real experience with Kubernetes and Docker - deploying, debugging and operating containerised workloads Backend coding: You can read and write backend code and genuinely enjoy doing so. Go experience is ideal, but if you've worked in another statically typed language (TypeScript, Java, C#, Rust, etc.) alongside strong DevOps experience, we'll help you get up to speed on Go Security mindset: You think about security as you build - secrets, access, least privilege - and are keen to grow your SecOps skills Self directed & ambitious: You take ownership, work independently, and are eager to get stuck in. You spot what needs doing and drive it, rather than waiting for direction Pragmatism: You make sensible trade offs between speed, cost, reliability and maintainability, and care about the impact your work has on other engineers Scale up energy: Ambitious and excited to work in a friendly scale up environment with the mission to transform workspaces globally Why Kitt? The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. But the problem is, too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie cutter offices. We're leading this change. Real company culture can only be built in person, in the real world - and for it to be authentic it needs its very own, personalised space. That's why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We're long term culture partners to our clients long after they've signed the lease and chosen. We'll Kitt you out Generous stock option scheme (ask us what this means if you're not sure) Starting salary of £65,000 - £80,000 Hybrid working - 3 days a week in our London office, with up to 2 days remote 28 days holiday a year plus Bank Holidays Parental leave: up to 12 weeks paid parental leave for the primary caregiver Pregnancy loss support leave Regular socials - we love a good party Octopus MoneyCoach Workplace Nursery Benefit Cycle to Work scheme Season Ticket Loans WellHub and Dr Care Anywhere to support your mental and physical health and wellbeing We believe the world is transformed when people come together to do extraordinary things. We harness the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, fostering collaboration and innovation to achieve extraordinary results that make a positive impact. With the same set of equitable interview questions for all candidates and hiring teams which encompass diversity, we prioritise creating an inclusive environment where individuals' backgrounds or origins are irrelevant.
