Platform Engineer

Dunelm
London

Overview

We operate a hybrid working policy. This role can be based out of our Leicester or London office.

Home. There’s no place like it. And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home.

At Dunelm, that’s what we do.

We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And the caring and supportive culture we've created makes this a place you'll feel right at home too.

Platform Engineering

Our Platform team consists of:
  • 9 Platform Engineers
  • A Tech Lead
  • A Principal Platform Engineer
  • A Platform Engineer in Test
  • An Agile Delivery Lead
We are part of a wider Platform and Operations team and look after various platforms across Technology.

We are multi-cloud and run production workloads on AWS and GCP. We also look after core parts of the technology stack including Fastly, Auth0, Launchdarkly and Gitlab.

Our main goals are ensuring best practice across Tech, doing everything in code, automating as much as possible and building self-service capabilities wherever we can.

The Platform team is a core business enabler ensuring scalable and resilient systems are deployed across Tech.

Join our Tech Team and you’ll not only be part of stimulating projects that are making an impact across our business, but you’ll be also somewhere you can build a long-term career that always promises to challenge and excite.

Find your happy place.
