The Senior Platform Engineer is the senior engineer who owns WME Enterprise IT's platform estate
- the cloud and core platforms the business runs on, with Microsoft Azure at the center. The role builds, automates, secures, and continuously improves these platforms, within the enterprise architecture and standards set by the Principal Enterprise Architect. It manages platforms, not people: there are no direct reports. The role sets how WME's platforms are engineered and operated
- landing-zone and subscription design, infrastructure-as-code, configuration and policy-as-code, observability, resilience, and cost. This role owns the engineering of the platform estate and is fenced explicitly against adjacent functions: In scope: deep engineering of the IT platform estate
- Microsoft Azure and hybrid cloud (landing zones, subscriptions, management groups), infrastructure-as-code, configuration and policy-as-code, platform observability and monitoring, platform resilience and DR posture, platform-level security guardrails, and cloud cost / FinOps
- implemented within the enterprise architecture and standards set by the Principal Enterprise Architect (#55). It owns the deep engineering, build, operation, and product-project work
- not the enterprise standards themselves. This role owns the platform architecture, automation, and engineering standards the estate is built and governed by; Where the two meet
- cloud infrastructure in particular
- this role sets the engineering standard and senior leadership adjudicates any blurred lines. (Alongside network engineering: the network underlay remains with network engineering; this role owns platform-level networking patterns in the cloud (landing-zone networking, connectivity design) in partnership. Distinct from AI & digital workplace engineering: that role owns AI in the M365 / end-user digital workplace; this role owns the AI platform services and infrastructure within the estate. The two coordinate where AI tooling and platform patterns overlap. Enterprise IT runs on one idea: operational excellence
- platforms that just work, problems fixed at the root, and an engineering bar that keeps climbing. As a senior platform engineer, this role holds that bar high across the estate. Six operating foundations describe how the IT function works, and a Senior engineer here models all six. ships measurable platform improvements and retires toil. AI fluency. Operates at the leading edge of AI-augmented engineering and owns how AI platform services are provisioned, secured, and run across the estate. Security and risk by default. Builds security into the platform
- landing-zone guardrails, least privilege, policy-as-code
- and partners with governance where decisions carry real weight. Treats cost and reliability as first-class platform outcomes; engineers the estate to be resilient, observable, and economically run. Cloud Platform Architecture & Engineering (Azure & Hybrid) Own the architecture and engineering of WME's Azure and hybrid cloud platform
- landing zones, subscriptions, management groups, and governance (Azure Policy). Design platform patterns for scalability, resilience, and security that the rest of IT builds on. Drive the platform roadmap and modernization
- evaluate, pilot, and adopt current platform capabilities under controlled evaluation. Automation, Infrastructure-as-Code & Configuration Establish and own infrastructure-as-code standards and reusable modules for the estate (Terraform / OpenTofu, Bicep, ARM, or equivalent). Implement configuration-as-code and policy-as-code so the estate is c #
