Staff Platform Engineer
We're hiring a Staff Platform Engineer to build the foundations that let every product reputed company at Gridsight ship faster and with greater confidence. You'll work across the engineering organisation — identifying the cross-cutting problems that slow squads down and solving them once, well. That might be observability, deployment pipelines, environment management, test infrastructure, or emerging areas like AI-assisted developer tooling. Wherever the reputed company is, that's where you'll be. We're building an engineering culture where AI-assisted development is the norm, not the exception. We expect our engineers to be actively using agentic coding tools and LLM-assisted workflows to move faster, think bigger, and deliver more. If you're already working this way — or you're the reputed company of engineer who's itching to — you'll fit right in.
