Job description

At Terma, we develop advanced technologies and mission‑critical systems that protect people on land, at sea, in the air, and in space. As we expand to meet new global challenges, we’re looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to help us evolve the infrastructure that powers secure, scalable, and high‑impact software solutions across the defense and aerospace domains.

Your role in our team

As part of our platform modernization journey, you'll play a key role in shaping the next generation of Terma’s internal developer platform – from tooling and architecture to deployment and DevSecOps practices. This is a hands‑on engineering role where your contributions will directly impact developer experience and operational effectiveness across the company.

You will join a growing, collaborative DevSecOps team of six professionals known for their technical expertise, knowledge sharing, and good humour. Together, you'll enable dynamic development environments and modern CI/CD pipelines through automation, infrastructure‑as‑code, and security best practices.

How you will make a meaningful contribution

• Design, build, and optimize core platform services to support secure development workflows
• Automate provisioning of compliant developer environments and deployment pipelines
• Maintain and evolve the platform using tools such as Kubernetes, Ansible, GitLab, Jenkins, and SonarQube
• Advocate for cloud‑native and GitOps principles, driving best practices in automation and scaling
• Help shape the future of our internal developer platform, contributing ideas, best practices, and architecture decisions
• Contribute to team learning by sharing knowledge through documentation, code reviews, and learning sessions

Bring your world class expertise into play

You are fluent in English both in writing and verbal at a professional level. Danish is an advantage but not a requirement. Moreover, we are also looking for a new colleague with the following qualifications:

• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, and YAML
• Hands‑on knowledge of containerization (e.g., Docker, Podman)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD, DevSecOps, and GitOps methodologies
• Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code and Configuration as Code practices (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI) and automation
• A cloud‑native mindset, emphasizing scalability, resilience, and security

Preferred but not required qualifications

• Experience designing or operating on-premise infrastructure and self-hosted systems (e.g., GitLab, Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with tools such as Gerrit, Jenkins, Nexus, and SonarQube
• Comfortable working in Linux‑based environments, including shell scripting and troubleshooting
• Basic understanding of networking and system administration concepts (e.g., DNS, firewalls, certificates, reverse proxies)
• Previous work in regulated or high‑security environments
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field

While we adopt a cloud‑native approach, all infrastructure at Terma is hosted on‑premise. We do not use public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure), and familiarity with self‑managed environments is a strong advantage.

As a person, you take initiative, own your work, and actively seek continuous learning. You thrive in collaborative, cross‑functional teams and communicate with clarity and empathy. You ask smart questions, challenge assumptions, and contribute to better decisions. You’re comfortable debugging complex systems, documenting solutions, and sharing insights, and you also bring positive energy to a supportive, team‑oriented environment.

We are an international company delivering complex, high‑tech products with a meaningful mission: securing people through advanced technology. You'll work alongside world‑class experts on challenging tasks – and we’ll support your growth with tailored learning opportunities that strengthen both your technical and personal development.

We value autonomy, engagement, and flexibility, and we believe that great work comes from empowered people. When you join Terma, we promise great people, challenging tasks, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day.
