Senior Platform Engineer (AWS / Infrastructure) (m/f/d)
Responsibilities
- Build and operate the internal developer platform, the paved road of tooling and infrastructure that lets teams set up and run their own services without waiting on us
- Drive our cloud migration, moving and consolidating services into a modern cloud-native setup without slowing delivery
- Design system and infrastructure architecture and communicate it clearly, including diagrams that other engineers can build from
- Work alongside product engineers and get them unblocked, because the platform exists to serve the product
- Deliver with coding agents as a matter of course, and help improve how the whole team does so
Profile
- Strong, hands-on cloud engineering experience on AWS at organisational scale: multi-account setups, identity and access, networking, and account-level guardrails. Serverless is our default but we want someone who can pick the right tool for each problem
- A security-first instinct: least privilege, secrets management, and treating patching and vulnerability remediation as routine work
- Deep, hands-on experience with infrastructure as code. You have built and maintained real production estates in Terraform, or a close equivalent, and you are comfortable owning delivery pipelines on AWS
- TypeScript on Node.js as your primary application language, or a deliberate and recent move to it. Python is a welcome secondary. Go or Rust are useful for performance-critical components
- A track record of building or choosing internal tooling that lets other engineers work faster, with the judgement to adopt an existing solution when one fits rather than build from scratch
- Delivery experience in both lean startup settings and larger organisations, with ownership from start to finish. You scope a sensible first version and build on it
- Coding agents are part of your daily workflow, and you check their output before you rely on it. You are neither dismissive of them nor careless with them
Benefits
- A highly motivated team and an open way of communication
