Platform Engineer

MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we’ve come a long way since. Today we’re a 400 + strong team (we’re thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes – from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair.

Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO and now in Cape Town South Africa

As MOO scales its operations, we are breaking down our monolithic application and moving towards a microservices architecture. As a part of this journey, we decided to completely rebuild a part of our application in order to support a growing number of enterprise customers and have a B2B focused application.

Therefore, we are now expanding our Platform Engineer team to support the continued challenges of ensuring the reliability and security of our applications and this needs a Platform Engineer to join the team.

The Platform Engineer will be coming in to evangelise a continuous improvement to the ethos in the business to make sure we are ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest services and tools we can use to improve our ways of working.

You will be working with the engineering team to ensure the availability of our environments and to ensure they have everything they need to be able to make multiple deployments a day.

Tech Stack: Our application is run completely in AWS, primarily on EC2 and EKS, with a view to move to a serverless architecture using AWS services such as Lambda.The platform team primarily makes use of Terraform, Ansible and Kubernetes (specifically ArgoCD) to manage infrastructure.

The Successful Platform Engineer will be able to support high availability applications: All we ask is that you are a driven Platform Engineer that enjoys learning, solving complex problems, and have an appreciation for observability and reliability.
