About Go10
Go10 is a UK-based value-added distributor of consumer products. We represent 60+ brands across
consumer electronics, audio, health, wellness, and lifestyle categories, selling through major national
retailers including Argos, John Lewis, Currys, Very, and Costco, as well as online channels including
Amazon and dropship fulfilment directly to customers.
We act as the UK and Ireland route to market for both established global manufacturers and
emerging brands, handling sales, channel management, marketing support, and operational
fulfilment. Our technology platform is central to managing that complexity at scale across multiple channels and brand relationships.
Role overview
We are looking for a Platform Engineer with a strong systems mindset to help design, maintain, and
support the technical foundations of our business platforms.
This role focuses on infrastructure reliability, operational stability, and system continuity. You will
work across backend services, databases, and integrations that connect our ERP systems with our
cloud-based platforms, ensuring they are robust, well-understood, well-documented, and
supportable over time.
While integration and API work is an important part of the role, it sits within a broader responsibility
that includes understanding how data flows through our systems, diagnosing and resolving issues
across the stack, and contributing to ongoing improvements to backend infrastructure.
You will work closely with the Head of Digital Platforms and have direct access to the systems and
decisions that shape how the platform evolves.
Key responsibilities
- Infrastructure and Operational Ownership
- Develop, maintain, and support backend systems that underpin business-critical workflows
- Build a strong understanding of how data flows across ERP systems, APIs, databases, and downstream consumers
- Audit and document all live integrations, APIs, and infrastructure components
- Write runbooks for all critical systems, sufficient for relevant team members to operate them independently
- Diagnose and resolve backend issues including data inconsistencies, performance bottlenecks, and integration failures
- Support system continuity through careful change management, documentation, and monitoring
- Own infrastructure resilience including backup validation and recovery procedures
- Contribute to improving reliability, observability, and operational tooling
