Platform Engineer

Are you a Platform Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges in a large-scale, on-premise environment?

Do you enjoy bridging the gap between infrastructure and software development? If so, we have an urgent and exciting opportunity for you.

We are a leading technology company building a modern, robust platform to support our internal product teams. Our newly formed Platform team is the backbone of our engineering department, and we are looking for two mid-level engineers to help us grow and innovate.

What you will do:

• Take a leading role in troubleshooting complex microservices and Java applications, working closely with development teams to resolve issues.
• Manage and maintain our on-premise infrastructure, which is primarily built on Kubernetes (KubeSpray), Proxmox, and bare metal servers.
• Enhance our CI/CD capabilities by maintaining and providing libraries for tools like Jenkins and Argo CD.
• Play a key role in our network architecture, managing firewalls, network policies, and helping to adopt advanced networking with BGP.
• Collaborate on migrating legacy workloads from VMs to a modern, containerized Kubernetes environment.
• Actively share knowledge and contribute to a collaborative team culture, helping to break down silos and upskill the entire team.

What you will bring:

• 3+ years of proven experience as a Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or a similar role with a focus on infrastructure.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills-this is your number one asset.
• A software development background is highly desirable, especially with experience in troubleshooting Java applications (e.g., using JSTACK, JMAP).
• Solid experience with Kubernetes and scripting/automation tools like Ansible.
• A strong understanding of networking concepts. Knowledge of BGP, Cilium, or Calico is a significant plus.
• An enthusiastic, collaborative, and team-oriented mindset with a genuine passion for learning and sharing knowledge.
• The ability to work autonomously and get started right away.

What we offer:

• The opportunity to work on a complex, high-impact platform that is critical to our business.
• A collaborative and supportive team environment that values knowledge sharing over silos.
• A key role in a growing platform team with a modern tech stack.
• For qualified international candidates, we offer Highly Skilled Migrant (HSM) visa sponsorship. (Please note: relocation support is not provided).

Our Hiring Process:

1. Initial Interview (Online): A conversation with a member of the platform team and a recruiter.
2. Take-Home Assignment: A practical assignment designed to be completed in 1-2 hours.
3. Final Interview (On-site): A technical discussion about your assignment and a chance to meet more of the team at our office.

This is an urgent role, and we are looking to hire as soon as possible. If this sounds like the challenge you're looking for, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now
