Job summary

Alliander, a leading Dutch energy network operator, is seeking a Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer to accelerate Grid-As-A-Service. You’ll join System Operations and drive modern CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, and developer tooling to keep platforms reliable and scalable.

You’ll work with Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Helm, GitHub Actions, and AWS to enable delivery at scale while embedding security and compliance into pipelines.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Platform, DevSecOps, SRE, or Release Engineering in a complex/regulated enterprise environment.
• Hands-on Kubernetes, Helm, and GitOps experience (ArgoCD, App-of-Apps).
• Strong CI/CD background — pipeline-as-code (GitHub Actions).
• Working knowledge of AWS (containers, managed DBs, secrets stores, networking, DNS) and Terraform.
• Understanding of semantic versioning across multi-repo, multi-team setups.

Responsibilities

• Building & evolving: modernizing CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and internal CLI tooling for manifest generation and deployment validation.
• Security & compliance: embedding image scanning, secrets management, and access policies into pipelines without slowing developers down.
• Operational rotation: weekly on-call ("OPSer of the Week") triaging pipeline and cluster issues, and translating developer feature requests into formal RFCs for the platform vendor.
• Scaling: helping architect delivery-as-code patterns to extend the platform to external grid operators.
• Maintenance: Besides development, the above has to be kept up to date, since security is an important topic for Alliander.
