Development Enablement Engineer
Job Description
At Aberdeen, our ambition is to be the UK’s leading Wealth & Investments group. Strengthening talent and culture is one of our strategic priorities. We strive to make Aberdeen a great place to work so that we can attract and retain the industry’s best talent. Our people put our stakeholders at the heart of everything they do by helping us make a positive difference to the lives of our clients, customers, colleagues, shareholders, and society.
We are focused on growing our direct and advised wealth platforms and repositioning our specialist asset management business to meet client demand. We are committed to providing excellent client service, supported by leading technology and talent.
Aberdeen comprises three businesses — interactive investor (ii), Investments, and Adviser — each focusing on meeting and adapting to our clients’ evolving needs:
interactive investor: the UK’s second largest direct-to-consumer investment platform, enabling individuals in the UK to plan, save, and invest in the way that works for them.
Adviser: provides financial planning solutions and technology for UK financial advisers, enabling them to create value for their customers.
Investments: a specialist asset manager focusing on areas where we have strength and scale to capitalise on key market themes through public markets or alternative asset classes.
The Cloud Platform Engineering team is a key capability within the Cloud Capability function. The team works collaboratively across Group COO, business stakeholders, Centres of Excellence (CoEs), and Product Owners, connecting development, security, and operations. It is responsible for creating and maintaining the platform that drives our transition to cloud and adoption of modern development practices.
As a Development Enablement Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing the productivity, efficiency, and satisfaction of software development teams. You will design, build, and maintain tools, systems, and processes that streamline the development lifecycle—from coding and testing to deployment and monitoring—while embedding security at every stage. Your goal is to remove friction, reduce cognitive load, and empower developers to deliver high-quality, secure software faster and more reliably.
Develop and maintain internal tools, scripts, and platforms to improve developer workflows (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, code quality checks, security scanning).
Identify pain points in the developer journey and implement solutions to improve onboarding, documentation, and day-to-day development tasks.
Work closely with product engineers, DevOps, QA, and security teams to understand needs and advocate best practices in software development.
Define and track key metrics related to developer productivity and system performance; use data to drive continuous improvement.
Support infrastructure provisioning and management using tools like Terraform.
Document systems and processes clearly; lead internal workshops, brown bag sessions, or tech talks to share knowledge and promote adoption of tools and practices.
The ideal candidate will possess:
Experience with observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, and Datadog.
Background in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering with a security-first mindset.
Strong programming skills in languages like .Net, JavaScript, Python, or similar.
Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps Pipelines.
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
Understanding of Azure cloud platform.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Passion for improving developer workflows and internal tooling.
There's more to working life than a good salary. We provide an environment where you can learn, get involved, and be supported. When you join us, your reward will be one of the best around, including 40 days’ annual leave, a 16% employer pension contribution, a discretionary performance-based bonus (where applicable), private healthcare, and a range of flexible benefits — including gym discounts, season ticket loans, and access to an employee discount portal. You can read more about our benefits here.
Enabling our clients to be better investors drives everything we do. Our business is structured around three distinct areas — our vectors of growth — focused on our clients’ changing needs. You can find out more about what we do here.
Whatever way you like to work, if you have the talent and commitment to join our team, we’d like to hear from you. At Aberdeen, we’ve adopted a ‘blended working’ approach that combines face-to-face collaboration, coaching, and connecting in our offices with the flexibility of working from home. It enables colleagues to find a balance that works for their roles, teams, clients, and business.
An inclusive culture, where diverse perspectives drive our actions, is at the core of who we are and what we do. If you need assistance with your application or a reasonable adjustment to your interview arrangements — for example, because you are neurodivergent or have a physical, sensory, cognitive, mental, visible, or invisible disability — please let us know and we’ll be happy to help.
We are committed to providing an inclusive workplace where all forms of difference are valued and which is free from any unfair or unlawful treatment. We define diversity broadly — including educational and professional backgrounds, experience, cognitive and neurodiversity, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion or belief, ethnicity, and geographical provenance. We support a culture valuing meritocracy, fairness, and transparency, and welcome enquiries from everyone.
If you need assistance or an adjustment due to a disability, please inform us as part of your application and we will assist.
