Platform Software Engineer

About the role:

As a Platform Software Engineer at YLD, you'll be part of a client team, owning cloud access and identity management along with a large part of their infrastructure-as-code. Day to day, that means controlling who and what can do what across their cloud estate, and standing up the newer tooling that sits alongside it. It's shared infrastructure that many teams depend on, so much of the role is careful change management, governance, and unblocking others.

Preferred Skills:

• Strong, hands-on AWS experience, particularly IAM, IAM Identity Center / SSO, and AWS Organizations (essential)
• Terraform (essential), Terragrunt (strongly preferred)
• Experience running shared, high-blast-radius infrastructure
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD, including OIDC federation to cloud providers
• Familiarity with Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar tooling
• Some Python or JavaScript for scripting
• Multi-cloud experience is a plus
• A strong focus on clean engineering practices, including testing and reliability;
• Use AI tools to augment your work, applying sound judgement to adopt emerging technologies where they genuinely add value and increase your impact as an engineer.

What you’ll get in return:

• The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business
