Description
About The Opportunity
Job Type: Permanent
Application Deadline: 31 May 2026
Title: Kubernetes Platform Owner – Engineering Manager
Department: Enterprise Technology Services
Location: Cannon St/Kingswood Fields UK
Reports To: Head of Cloud Hosting Platforms (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes Product Owner)
Level: Associate Director
We share a commitment to making things better for clients and each other. We continually explore new technology and different ways of working to put our clients first. So bring your boldest ideas to our Cloud Engineering group and Kubernetes team and feel like you’re making progress.
About Your Team
We’re a platform engineering team across three regions, building Fidelity’s greenfield internal developer platform on AWS EKS. Everyone contributes to both development and operations of the platform, working iteratively in Kanban. We come from varied specialisations but share the same Extreme Programming principles and pull work from a common backlog. Engineers work across the full feature set, while having space to develop as subject-matter experts in specific areas.
We offer a Namespace-as-a-Service Kubernetes platform that offers isolated environments and on-demand infrastructure such as databases, caching and deployment tooling. Our approach is open source first, using CNCF projects including Cilium, Kyverno and Karpenter as core cluster add-ons.
We enable teams to deliver and scale applications by abstracting infrastructure through self-service. It’s an exciting time to join as we expand the platform to support more complex use cases and a multi-cluster model, you’ll hire engineers globally to support this growth.
About Your Role
You will play a central part in shaping and extending our internal developer platform which underpins how engineers build, deploy and operate applications across the organisation. Your decisions will directly influence developer experience, security and scalability.
You will lead a distributed engineering team, support their development, and guide day-to-day technical direction for the platform. You will define and refine the product vision, using customer feedback, stakeholder needs and market insight to set priorities and maintain a clear backlog. The role requires close collaboration with application developers, product owners, security and data teams, and includes contributing to enterprise architecture reviews to maintain engineering quality and compliance.
You will also work closely with our enablement group, who build features and resources that augment the platform and improve the developer experience. You will be a peer within the cloud engineering leads group and partner with the AWS and Azure platform product owners. As the platform expands to support more complex use cases, you will draw on your Kubernetes experience to set architectural direction, challenge technical leads and help them grow.
