Senior Platform Engineering Technical Lead
About this role
This is a hands-on technical leadership position, combining people management, cloud architecture, platform engineering, and strategic decision-making. Reporting to the Head of Software, you'll lead a distributed infrastructure team spanning the UK and India while working closely with engineering teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and secure cloud solutions. The position is open for full remote within the UK, but there’s preference for profiles who are commutable to Bath weekly – our hybrid policy stablishes 3 days per week in the office.
You'll provide technical direction across two business units, with a primary focus on Maplecroft's AWS-based platforms, including:
GRiD (Global Risk Dashboard) – Maplecroft’s current flagship risk analytics platform, comprising a microservice architecture for mapping, commodity-specific and industry-specific data, and core country risk data.
DataX – Maplecroft’s internal platform for large-scale data processing, building and quality-assuring the risk indices that feed our client-facing products.
GRiD 2 – Maplecroft’s next-generation risk analytics platform, which will replace GRiD as our flagship SaaS product for risk management. GRiD 2 is built on Synergy Studio (VSS), a platform owned by our parent business unit, Catastrophe and Risk Solutions.
Working within a modern cloud ecosystem leveraging AWS, AWS CDK, OpenTofu, ECS Fargate, Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, Batch, Step Functions, GitHub and Okta, you'll help guide architectural decisions, support platform modernisation, and drive engineering excellence.
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to influence the future of industry-leading risk analytics platforms while remaining deeply involved in technical decision-making. You'll work with modern AWS technologies, help shape engineering strategy, lead talented engineers, and contribute to the development of the next generation of Maplecroft's products in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment.
