GoHenry is a UK-based fintech company created by parents to pioneer financial education. More recently, GoHenry moved into Europe and the US by joining forces with French fintech company PixPay and US investing app, Acorns.

Together, Acorns, PixPay, and GoHenry have over 6 million members across 5 countries. We are focused on empowering families with engaging money management tools, educational content, and a seamless product experience that creates financial well-being from birth to adulthood.

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer (Grade 8) to serve as a core technical contributor on our Platform team, designing, building, and owning the infrastructure systems that power GoHenry's products. In this role, you will elevate platform quality, optimize reliability, and directly support customer-facing innovations.

What you will do at GoHenry:

Hands-on Technical Delivery

Design, implement, and own infrastructure systems end-to-end, from initial design through to production operation.
Write high-quality, well-tested infrastructure code using Terraform, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipelines, actively contributing to team-wide standards.
Take ownership of complex production incidents—diagnosing, resolving, and driving blameless post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence.
Contribute to architectural discussions with well-reasoned proposals backed by practical experience.
Stay current with the cloud ecosystem and bring concrete, considered recommendations for tooling and approaches to the team.

Platform Quality & Reliability

Maintain a consistently high bar for scalability, resilience, and reliability across your areas of ownership.
Implement and improve observability using meaningful metrics, structured logging, and actionable alerting that surfaces real signals.
Ensure all infrastructure is version-controlled, reviewable, and reproducible, following infrastructure-as-code principles throughout.
Design and operate systems with security and compliance in mind—ensuring adherence to industry best practices and supporting audit requirements such as PCI-DSS and SOC 2.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Work closely with tech squads to help them consume platform capabilities effectively and unblock their delivery.
Partner with backend, data, and security engineers to align on shared infrastructure patterns and standards.
Communicate clearly about infrastructure changes, risks, and ongoing work to the teams that depend on the platform.

What you will bring to GoHenry:

Deep, hands-on Google Cloud experience (including GKE and Cloud SQL), with a strong grasp of GCP's networking and security model (experience with Cloudflare is a bonus).
Strong hands-on Kubernetes skills and a practical understanding of container orchestration in a production environment.
Proficiency in writing and standardising infrastructure code with Terraform, Helm, and modern CI/CD tooling.
Proven track record as a strong individual contributor who takes end-to-end ownership of complex technical work.
Good working knowledge of observability tooling (such as Datadog) to configure metrics, logging, and alerting systems that genuinely inform on-call response.
A passion for sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, writing documentation, and helping fellow engineers grow.
