About the Role
As a DevOps / Platform Engineer in the Common Platform team, you will be embedded within the Content Supply and Delivery (CS&D) business area, working closely with teams based in London and Leeds. The CS&D team focuses on managing ITV’s content catalogue and its distribution across the industry. You will also collaborate with the wider Common Platform team to share best practices, tooling, and capabilities across ITV.

The Common Platform team leverages open source, cloud native, and SaaS tooling to deliver highly automated, easy-to-deploy template architectures and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns. Your role will involve designing and implementing infrastructure solutions, supporting platform upgrades, troubleshooting issues, and coaching software developers on AWS usage.

Key responsibilities include implementing IaC with Terraform, prioritising upgrades and business delivery within CS&D, reviewing and approving pull requests, maintaining infrastructure including Jenkins and Kubernetes deployments on AWS, and contributing to the design of future infrastructure. You will also share best practices and contribute ideas to improve the Common Platform.

- Strong knowledge of Infrastructure as Code technologies, preferably Terraform, including version control strategies
- Experience with containerisation and deploying workloads on Kubernetes

- Experience with monitoring and alerting tools
- Proven ability to respond to production incidents and resolve infrastructure-related issues
- Knowledge of cloud cost optimisation balanced with resilient infrastructure needs
- In-depth knowledge of Linux environments (CentOS, Amazon Linux 2)
- Experience working within Agile delivery methodologies

About you
- Strong communication skills with the ability to provide and receive constructive feedback, particularly in design and code collaboration (e.g. PR reviews)
- Passionate about working within a team structure and building relationships across multiple teams
- Able to travel to London twice a week to collaborate with the Common Platform and embedded teams
