Platform Technical Lead

Malaga - hybrid Permanent €58,000 - €63,000 p/a The Background

We are partnered with a world class IT services provider based in Spain but working with clients on a integral scale. They have created a new opportunity for a Platform Technical Lead to join them. They have a platform estate that needs someone with genuine technical authority to take ownership of how it runs in production.

If you've spent years operating complex hybrid infrastructure and you're tired of watching the same incidents repeat themselves because nobody with real seniority ever stopped to address the root cause, this is your chance to stop history repeating itself! Responsibilities

Own operational engineering standards across our platform estate, defining what good looks like for production readiness, signing off on high risk changes and having the authority to push back when something isn't ready. Reduce repeat incidents by finding and eliminating the structural weaknesses that cause them. Replace manual, tribal knowledge with automation and codified processes.

Manage platform capacity before it becomes a crisis rather than after. Measure success through improved platform stability,



reduction in repeat platform incidents, increased automation and reduced technical debt. This isn’t a role focused on platform design, Incident process ownership or project delivery.

Qualifications
