Overview

Our Operations Command Centre (OCC) is looking for a Platform Engineer with strong technical foundations, exceptional problem-solving ability, and a passion for building reliable systems.
This is not a traditional Platform Engineering or NOC role.

You'll split your time between engineering solutions and operating our production platforms—maintaining the health of BHN's production services while building the automation, observability, and AI-driven capabilities that make incidents less frequent, easier to diagnose, and faster to resolve.

As part of the OCC, you'll play an active role in Major Incident Management, partnering with engineering teams to diagnose and restore production services during critical incidents. Outside of incident response, you'll build dashboards, improve monitoring, develop automation, analyse operational data, and engineer intelligent tooling that continuously improves platform reliability.

This role provides exceptional exposure to large-scale distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability platforms, automation, AI-assisted software development, and production engineering.
If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving complex technical problems, and want to accelerate your engineering career, we'd love to hear from you.
