This role is open for hybrid-remote candidates across Trondheim, Vilnius, Lisbon, Oslo, Bucharest, and Rotterdam, with remote options within Spain.

The Role

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will design and build the global Signicat Digital Trust Platform for all digital identity needs across borders – in every step of the customer journey. We’re looking for an innovative and passionate Senior Engineer to join our Platform Tribe. You’ll help design, build, and manage the software systems and infrastructure that powers our services.

We have various exciting projects and always strive to push the envelope with our work to accelerate trusted digital business.

How you\'ll make an impact

• You’ll think deeply about systems — their edge cases, failure modes, and life cycles to craft robust but manageable solutions to meet product requirements while utilizing best-of-breed solutions and tools whenever possible
• You’ll work closely with product owners to design systems and platform capabilities that increase speed to market for features that delight our end users, while making these systems observable, reliable and deployable for our engineers
• You’ll be a champion and a solid hands-on practitioner for DevOps best practices
• You’ll offer mentorship and guidance on the best ways to design and implement platform-level solutions across all our products
• You\'ll be an experienced voice that helps define our platform and technology roadmap

Why we\'ll love you

• You design, build and deploy scalable services
• You decompose services into their concerns, i.e., performance, reliability, security, scalability, usability, and compliance
• You guide teams to use the platform in a secure, resilient and effective manner
• You have experience managing and debugging distributed services
• You have experience designing, managing, and debugging solutions that include cloud services like Kubernetes, Istio, cert-manager, and Open Policy Agent
• You are well-versed in Cloud PaaS (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure or similar)
• You know how to work with high-volume transaction environments

This is a wish list; if you have half of it we are already interested!
