IntaPeople are currently representing a client based in South Wales who due to a substantial amount of growth now require an experienced Platform Engineering Manager/Director to join and lead their core production team along side the Chief Technology Officer. This role is about shaping how their platforms scale, ensuring resilience, and embedding long term DevOps principles across the business whilst using tools like Terraform/Ansible frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and infrastructure design. The Platform Engineer will be responsible for running their largest systems within their industry in the UK and having recently launched in the USA, they now are building within this resource area. Their an on-premise first business of which 90% of their workload-intensive applications run on Proxmox Servers which requires robust on-prem operations with hybrid cloud integrations. Please note, this is a hands on Management/Director position and not a hands off people leadership role. This position would suit a Principal/Lead level Engineer who is looking for more autonomy, responsibilities and progression. Key Skills/Experience (at a glance): Their platform has matured significantly in recent years and candidates should have demonstrable experience across most of the following: Proven experience as a Senior/Principal/Lead Platform/Infrastructure Engineer. Proven experience with people leadership. Proven experience running fast moving projects and teams. Strong server experience using tools such as Proxmox and vSphere hypervisor clusters (or similar). Experience with HP MSA SAN storage, Unifi networking, pfSense routing. Experience working within a cloud environment using cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, and Digital Ocean Monitoring: Uptime Robot, Grafana, Sentry, and custom application-level tooling. Experience using operating systems such as Linux. Strong experience with databases such as MySQL For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to make a major impact in a scaling, founder-led business with a track record of continuous product development and an ambitious growth plan. KEY CHALLENGES THE NEW PLATFORM MANAGER/DIRECTOR WILL OWN Platform stability at scale their infrastructure is doubling approximately every three months. Downtime has direct and significant commercial impact, and incidents can occur at any time. AI tooling support They are actively using and expanding AI-assisted development tooling (Replit, Claude Code, currently cloud-based). They are also scoping local model deployment: Minimax M1 (229B) within two months, with Kimi K2 and DeepSeek to follow later in the year. New data centre build They are relocating to new offices (across the road from their current setup), where they will be constructing their own data centre. The incoming team will be central to this move/setup. Reducing the teams production bottleneck.
