Hire Platform Engineer in the UK

Empower Your Developers with Scalable, Self-Service Platforms

Wininfy helps forward-thinking UK companies hire experienced Platform Engineers who build and maintain the internal platforms your developers rely on. Whether you’re scaling Kubernetes, automating infrastructure, or standardising CI/CD pipelines — our engineers design systems that are fast, stable, and developer-friendly.

Why Hire a Platform Engineer?

A Platform Engineer is the glue between DevOps, Infrastructure, and Software Engineering. They build reusable platforms that boost productivity, reduce friction, and scale reliably.

What they bring to your team:

  • Build Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) using tools like Backstage

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning & deployment

  • Manage platform reliability, scalability & observability

  • Implement GitOps, CI/CD pipelines, and service mesh patterns

  • Standardize environments, security, and testing frameworks

  • Enable developer self-service — without sacrificing governance

In short, they make your engineering teams faster by handling the complex behind-the-scenes systems that power delivery.
