Job description

About Xebia

We're at a pivotal point in our journey. Xebia is scaling across the globe and making big moves in Cloud and AI.

From engineering automated landing zones to building self-service developer platforms and Kubernetes environments, we work side by side with AWS, Google Cloud, and other partners to deliver impact at scale. It's ambitious, fast-moving, and deeply rewarding.

The Role: DevOps / Platform Engineer

You will bridge the gap between application development and cloud operations. You will build robust CI/CD pipelines, design reliable Kubernetes architectures, and enable client development teams to ship code faster and more securely through self-service platforms. You'll wear many hats depending on the client and context from hands-on infrastructure-as-code deployment to mentoring client teams on DevOps culture and GitOps practices.

The People You'll Work With

One of the best things about Xebia Cloud is the people. You'll rub shoulders with some of the sharpest minds in the cloud ecosystem. Consultants who are not only technically brilliant but generous with their knowledge.

• Substantial Training Budget: Access to certifications (AWS, GCP, CKA/CKAD) and bi-weekly conference-style workshops with breakout sessions, peer learning, and dinner together.
• 1-on-1 Career Coaching: Dedicated strategy support with our people team, helping you scale your technical expertise, soft skills, and personal growth.
• Thought Leadership Support: Opportunities to speak at summits, host vendor podcasts, and publish technical content with the backing of our internal marketing and media teams.

To thrive you bring:

• Experience: At least 3 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) role.
• Cloud Platform Mastery: Strong, practical experience architecting and managing infrastructure on AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deep proficiency with Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, or AWS CloudFormation/CDK.
• Container Orchestration: Solid experience running production workloads on Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) using Helm, Kustomize, or GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux).
• CI/CD & Automation: Experience building robust deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
• Scripting & Tooling: Comfort with Python, Bash, or Go for custom automation and CLI tools.
• Location & Language: Full working proficiency in English (Dutch is a plus) and willingness to work in a hybrid setup split between home, client sites in the Benelux region, and our Hilversum/Amsterdam offices.
• Community Mindset: A passion for sharing knowledge, mentoring colleagues, and actively engaging with the DevOps community.
