Senior Platform Engineer

We are a global technology group, headquartered in London. We deploy experts and frontier technology, like AI, to help organisations thrive through change. We have over 600 professionals (>75% hands-on technical talent) spread across Europe, North America and Asia, and are backed by Marlin Equity Partners. We help customers: Work smarter – Building modern, scalable infrastructure, apps and workflows that actually improve your bottom line. Engage personally – Creating digital experiences that capture attention, convert sales, and keep customers coming back. Stay secure – Establishing the security, governance and compliance systems that protect you from threats, fines, and downtime. We work with some of the world's biggest brands to solve their biggest problems. From highly regulated financial institutions to fast-moving tech unicorns and global retailers. Different worlds, same standard: we ship tangible outcomes into production, fast. Then we work alongside customers to maintain and optimise them long term, upskilling their teams along the way. Work where work matters. At Beyond, we believe in work that leaves a mark. This role is for the innovative people who thrive on solving problems that don't have answers yet, for those who are accountable for tangible outcomes, and for individuals who act with integrity when it absolutely has to work. Here, you will build and operate cloud platforms for enterprise clients as a Platform Engineer in our Professional Services team. This is a hands-on delivery role: you will work within a wider engagement team, contributing to the technical direction set by senior engineers and architects. You will take ownership of well-defined pieces of work, deliver them to a high standard, and grow your consulting craft on real engagements with the support of more experienced colleagues. This role is designed for impact, and we believe our best work happens when we connect. While we operate a flexible model, we expect you to spend time on site (at our offices or a client location) for collaboration sessions, customer meetings, and internal workshops.
