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.

Your responsibilities include implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, supporting infrastructure design and upgrades, troubleshooting production issues, and coaching software developers on AWS usage. You will manage Kubernetes deployments in AWS, maintain CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, and contribute to defining future infrastructure architectures. The role requires active participation in reviewing and approving pull requests, supporting deployment and access management, and sharing improvements within the Common Platform team.

The Common Platform team leverages open source, cloud native, and SaaS tools to deliver highly automated, easy-to-deploy template architectures and IaC patterns, ensuring scalable and secure infrastructure solutions for ITV.

- 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, especially in design and code collaboration (e.g. pull request 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 embedded and Common Platform teams
- Enthusiastic about sharing ideas, improvements, and best practices within the team
