Introducing the Trainline Infrastructure Engineering and Tooling Team 👋

The Infrastructure Engineering and Tooling team, also known as Atlas, owns the ecosystem we use to deploy, run and manage services across the Trainline platform. Our work helps engineering teams across the business ship changes safely and confidently, so millions of travellers can rely on Trainline every day.

You'll join a collaborative team of software and platform engineers at all levels of experience.

Deliver complex improvements to Trainline's engineering platforms, building scalable, reliable and secure infrastructure that supports teams across the business.
Implement and evolve infrastructure with Terraform, following existing module patterns while spotting opportunities to improve quality, maintainability and automation.
Apply least-privilege and secure-by-default principles consistently across our AWS accounts, ensuring our infrastructure meets Trainline's standards for security and operational excellence.
Build and improve automation, services and tooling in Node.js or Python to make delivery faster, safer and more repeatable.
Support and review the work of other engineers, sharing context and giving constructive feedback so they can deliver with confidence.
Work with Tech Leads, Delivery Managers and cross-functional stakeholders to shape delivery plans, meet milestones and manage dependencies.
Raise risks, blockers and quality concerns early, helping to remove obstacles for the team and keep delivery moving at a sustainable pace.
Test, validate and deploy infrastructure changes through CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) pipelines, making sure everything is robust, well documented and ready for production.
