Lead Platform Engineer - London, United Kingdom - Love Holidays
Description
Job DescriptionWhy loveholidays?
The work we do in engineering underpins our vision to become the most loved OTA in Europe, providing a best-in-class experience for our customers pre- and post-booking. We work using our principles in highly-aligned, autonomous cross functional product teams and own the customer journey.
We are always looking to push the boundaries of what we can do with technology to drive an incredible customer experience. Our systems process 755 billion holiday offers every day, helping millions of customers find their perfect holiday. Our website serves 7,500 requests per second, backed by more than 100 services hosted on GCP to which we deploy 1500 times a month.
About the Cloud Infrastructure team
Cloud Infrastructure is a critical team for company success as it levels up the rest of tech through scalable Platform Engineering practices. We care deeply about performance, reliability and scalability of our systems, including the operational cost.
Our engineering teams own the lifecycle of services from first commit to high-load operation in production. Your responsibility will be to help engineering teams succeed at operations, not to run their services for them.
What you'll be working on:
Our runtime architecture is Service Based and hosted on Google Cloud Platform. Our engineering teams provision and manage their services' infrastructure with Infrastructure As Code using Terraform, Atlantis and Kubernetes.
We've deployed over times using GitOps (ArgoCD) and Helm, all validated by Conftest.
We place a strong focus on observability, continually evolving our monitoring and alerting stack, currently centred around the Mimir (Prometheus), Grafana, Loki, Tempo ecosystem. Our service mesh (Linkerd) provides uniform observability of all production services at 10s intervals.
Performance and scalability are integral to our software and infrastructure development process, achieved by combining Computer Science fundamentals and cutting edge cloud technologies.
Our teams are encouraged to use the right tool for the right job. We program in Java, Go, Rust, Python, JavaScript and others.
What we're looking for
Perks of joining us
At loveholidays, we focus on developing an inclusive culture and environment that encourages personal growth and collective success. Each individual offers unique perspectives and ideas that increase the diversity and effectiveness of our teams. And we value the insight and potential you could bring on our continued journey.
