Job description

About Shine

Shine is the financial copilot for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Founded by serial entrepreneurs Rico Andersen and Martin Hegelund, Shine is a leading European fintech on a mission to restore the joy of running a business by ending wasted time on financial admin — offering a connected solution for invoicing, accounting, payroll, business accounts, payments, and financing.

Today we're part of Cegid, a European leader in cloud software for finance and accounting. Together we serve over one million small businesses and 15,000 accountants across Europe, working from France, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, within a wider network spanning Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

Just as we respect our customers' time, we respect yours. Your hiring experience with Shine and Cegid should feel simple, transparent and genuinely supportive.

Infrastructure & Platform Engineering at Shine

Our 150+ engineering organization is structured into specialized domains. The Infrastructure team provides the reliable, secure foundation that every product team builds on — across AWS, GCP and Azure.

We're in a period of transition, consolidating multiple cloud providers following an acquisition: unifying governance, standardizing IaC and networking, establishing security baselines, and building self-service capabilities so product teams can ship with confidence. This is complex, high-impact work — and there's real room to shape processes, drive improvements, and own outcomes.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our Infrastructure team. This is a long-term position to replace a recent departure and strengthen our capacity as we scale.

You'll play a crucial role in maintaining and improving the reliability, security, and scalability of our cloud infrastructure. By taking ownership of critical infrastructure tasks, you'll help redistribute workload across the team and free your teammates to focus on strategic initiatives.

You are an expert in at least one of these three clouds: AWS, GCP or Azure, paired with the fundamentals that transfer across all of them.

What you'll do

• Maintain & improve reliability — ensure availability, scalability, and performance of infrastructure and services across our multi-cloud estate.

• Automation & Infrastructure as Code — build and maintain infra with Terraform/Terragrunt; automate repetitive operational work.

• Observability & monitoring — define SLOs/SLIs and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

• Security & compliance — apply cloud security best practices and support audits and regulatory compliance (ACPR, PCI-DSS, GDPR, DORA).

• Networking & connectivity — operate and improve enterprise-grade networking and connectivity across cloud providers.

• Collaboration & knowledge sharing — act as a bridge between Infrastructure and Product/Engineering teams, document infra, and mentor peers.

Future opportunities

• Lead reliability efforts for core business services.

• Contribute to long-term architecture and multi-cloud strategy.

• Optimize cloud costs and resource usage (FinOps).

• Grow into leadership by mentoring junior engineers or leading sub-projects.

Our tech stack

• Clouds:

  • AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS, Fargate, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53)

  • GCP (Cloud Run, GCE, Cloud SQL, VPC)

  • Azure (AKS, Container Apps, VMs, Functions, Azure SQL, VNet)

• IaC & automation: Terraform / Terragrunt, GitHub Actions, OIDC

• Containers & orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS), ECS/Fargate

• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, NewRelic, native cloud monitoring (AWS CloudWatch, GCP Cloud Monitoring, Azure Monitor)

• Networking: VPC/VNet, Transit Gateway / peering / VPN, DNS, TLS/mTLS, load balancing, Cloudflare

• Security & IAM: least-privilege design, IAM Identity Center / SSO, Okta, Security Hub / GuardDuty / Config and equivalents

• Data: SQL databases and event-driven systems
