Job Description

Platform Engineer Permanent London Why should you join us... ITV is the biggest commercial television network in the UK. Behind every famous face, there are hundreds of others, all doing their bit to make things happen. We love telly, we're passionate about content and most importantly we understand our audiences. We're all about pushing the boundaries and being innovative. Our vision is to be More than TV, building upon ITV's unique and winning combination of creativity and commercial strength, driven by investment in new content, data and technology. Business Area: Our long-standing commitment to quality, automation and standardisation has produced a platform which satisfies the scale requirements of the ITV Hub, the security requirements of our talent payments system and the reliability requirements of our broadcast scheduling system. It also provides a continually improving experience for our developers, allowing them to safely make hundreds of changes to our systems every day and ensuring that they always have the data they need to make the right decisions. What the role entails... We are looking for Platform Engineers to help expand the home of our key systems - the Common Platform. You might be running the ITV Hub, Britbox or the system that pays Ant & Dec, but wherever you are, you'll be working with great people using the latest technology. We believe that you build it, you run it"; so we organise around teams that have full control and responsibility for their systems end-to-end. One day you might be helping deploy a new microservice into AWS, the next watching it handle millions of requests during the Love Island final. You will be challenged in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, but you'll be given the autonomy, mastery and purpose to succeed. We value smart work as much as hard work, so you'll be encouraged to automate wherever possible. Some Key Responsibilities: *
