- Identify bottlenecks, simplify complex systems, and build capabilities that improve the productivity and effectiveness of every engineer at MCO.

- Modernise and evolve platform capabilities across infrastructure, software delivery, observability, security, automation, and developer experience.

- Drive architectural decisions, establish engineering standards, and ensure platform investments support long-term growth.

- Collaborate with Engineering, Architecture, Security, Operations, and AI teams to solve complex technical challenges.

What we are looking for :

- Exceptional engineer with deep hands-on experience across Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, security, and software delivery.

- Proven track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale production systems.

- Strong judgement around reliability, security, scalability, automation, observability, and cost optimisation.

- Ability to influence technical direction, mentor senior engineers, and deliver complex initiatives.
