Junior Platform Engineer Telemetry, SIEM, Observability
apto solutions
WHO THIS IS FOR You have been working for eighteen months to three years in a hands-on technical role
a platform team, a SOC or security engineering team, an MSP or MSSP, an infrastructure or DevOps team, a vendors support or professional services desk
and you are looking for your first move. You have had your hands on something that runs in production and matters to somebody. You want to go deeper, faster, in a smaller business where the work you do is seen. This is not a graduate
scheme
and it is not a helpdesk. It is a real engineering seat with real customers, real
supervision
and a clear path up.
ABOUT APTO SOLUTIONS Apto
Solutions is a Bristol business that runs telemetry,
observability
and SIEM platforms for other
organisations
. Banks, airports, energy companies, engineering
firms
and government bodies depend on those platforms to tell them whether their systems are healthy and whether they are under attack. When those platforms are quietly working, nobody notices. When they are not, our customers find out the hard way. Our job is to make sure they never
do
. We work across Splunk,
Cribl
, Microsoft Sentinel, Grafana,
Datadog
and
OpenTelemetry
. We are a partner-led business with deep vendor relationships, and we build a lot of our own platform tooling on top. We are small,
profitable
and growing fast
the plan is to triple the business by 2028
and we are hiring engineers who want to grow with it rather than be carried by it. THE ROLE This is a hands-on engineering role inside Operate, our managed service. You will help run customer telemetry platforms day to day, improve them, and contribute to the platform that lets us run them well. You will do this as part of a small engineering pool, with a senior engineer checking your work before it reaches a customer and a line manager who is accountable for your development. Operate
has two shapes and you will work in both. Operate Core is
always-on
.
It is continuous ownership of a customers platform
health, ingestion, data quality, alerting, upgrades, capacity. There is no handover and no final
deliverable
.
The platform is ours to keep healthy for as long as the customer is ours.
Success is measured in the absence of surprises and in the platform being demonstrably better in six months than it is today. Operate Attach is
sprint
-based improvement.
A customer has a defined problem
noisy alerts, a data source that will not
normalise
, ingest costs running away, a detection gap, a migration
and we take a scoped block of work and fix it. Attach has a start, a
shape
and an end. It sits on top of Core, for the same customers, with the same engineers. Alongside that you will take a share of professional services delivery: shorter, project-shaped engagements that are usually how a customer first meets us.
