About this role
Real Talk: The Platform Engineering perspective Join the team Platform Engineering 00:00 – 00:00 Meet the leader “We’ve moved past the hype to make things like AI and advanced observability part of our daily reality, not just buzzwords. By embedding OpenTelemetry into everything we build, we give our teams total visibility into the systems they run, while using AI to automate the repetitive parts of the SDLC – from testing to self-optimising pipelines. For us, it’s about more than just great code; it’s about creating an environment in our hubs where elite engineers can actually focus on solving complex problems instead of fighting infrastructure. We’re here to remove the bottlenecks, giving our clients a rock-solid foundation to scale while our engineers have the freedom to truly innovate.” Mircea Zetea Platform Engineering Competency Centre Manager Platform Engineering Designing and building comprehensive, future-proof digital platforms.
