About NewPage Solutions

NewPage Solutions is a global digital health and technology consultancy. We partner with organisations across healthcare, life sciences and other complex industries to design and build AI-enabled products, data platforms and digital experiences.

We are looking for a Senior Platform & Production Engineer to join a major enterprise technology programme. This is an opportunity to build and operate the foundations that enable engineering teams to deliver secure, reliable products at scale.

The role

You will work across platform engineering, cloud infrastructure and production operations, helping create a robust environment where applications can be built, deployed, observed and supported with confidence.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving operational problems before they become incidents, improving how systems perform in production and making software delivery easier for engineering teams.

What you’ll be doing

• Build, improve and operate cloud platforms and production infrastructure.
• Develop automation that makes environments, deployments and operational processes more reliable and repeatable.
• Improve observability across services through logging, metrics, tracing, alerting and dashboards.
• Help engineering teams deploy and operate applications securely and efficiently.
• Investigate and resolve complex production issues, contributing to incident response and post-incident improvements.
• Champion infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, testing, security and resilient engineering practices.
• Work closely with software engineers, architects, security and operations teams to improve reliability at scale.
• Contribute to technical design decisions around cloud architecture, platform capability and production readiness.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in Platform Engineering, Production Engineering, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering or Cloud Engineering.
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform: AWS, Azure and/or GCP.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code knowledge, ideally Terraform, CloudFormation or similar.
• Experience with CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes and modern deployment approaches.
• Strong observability experience, including logging, metrics, tracing, alerting and production monitoring.
• Confident troubleshooting distributed systems, integration issues and live production incidents.
• Good understanding of security, resilience, performance and scalability in cloud environments.
• Able to work collaboratively with software engineering teams and communicate technical issues clearly.
• Experience in a regulated, enterprise or high-availability environment would be useful, but is not essential.

Why join NewPage?

You will work on meaningful technology programmes where reliability, security and delivery quality genuinely matter. This is a chance to influence how engineering teams build and run products, while remaining hands-on with modern cloud, platform and production technologies.

If you are a practical, technically curious engineer who enjoys improving systems, automation and developer experience, we would love to hear from you.
