Platform Engineer
incident.io, London
The role
Being a Platform Engineer at incident means being the detective every other engineer wishes they could clone, tracing a mystery from a flaky load balancer to a bad Terraform diff, turning "why is this broken" into "here's exactly why, and here's how we stop it happening again."
What you need
- You take real ownership. You don't wait to be told what to fix, you see the thing that's slowing everyone down and you go fix it.
- You build tooling like a product engineer would. You think about the person using it, not just whether it technically works.
- You're genuinely great at observability. You don't just set up dashboards because you're told to, you want to actually see what's happening in the system, and you get restless when you can't.
