Senior Platform Engineer - Scale Cloud-Native Systems

Bitvavo B.V.; Amsterdam; Hybrid; EUR 70,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Bitvavo Amsterdam is seeking self-driven engineers to help make digital assets available at scale. You will empower teams to build robust, scalable systems with strict latency, availability, and throughput requirements, and collaborate with multiple engineering squads to craft efficient solutions.

You will own and observe deployments, drive automation via Terraform and Kubernetes, and contribute to reproducible, cloud-first infrastructure across environments.

Qualifications

• Experience with one or more programming languages. We mostly use Python, Kotlin and Go.
• Solid understanding of the fundamentals in distributed systems, systems engineering and networking.
• Fluency in leveraging infrastructure as code and automation. We use tools such as Terraform to build reproducible systems that are consistent across multiple environments.
• Proficiency in container orchestration within a cloud-first environment. We operate entirely on the Cloud, using Kubernetes as our orchestration tool.
• Exceptional communication skills. We expect engineers to talk to various stakeholders to derive requirements, drive discussions, and facilitate decision-making processes effectively.
• Extraordinary sense of ownership. We are committed to empowering engineers with freedom and accountability.
• We're far more interested in your capabilities as an engineer rather than in your specific knowledge of a certain tool and/or technology. Not sure if you tick all the boxes? Let's talk.

Responsibilities

• Empower teams to build scalable systems with strict requirements on latency, availability, and/or throughput.
• Team up with engineering teams to understand their pain points and work backward to craft the right solution.
• Enable teams to fully own their systems by providing them with the capabilities to seamlessly deploy and closely observe their applications.
• Leverage infrastructure as code and automation to build reproducible systems that are consistent across multiple environments.
• Support your teammates in growing every day by providing them with constructive feedback, guidance, and sharing knowledge.
