ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Join the IT organisation of one of Europe's largest parcel and logistics networks. It handles hundreds of millions of parcels a year across more than 40 countries and 1,000+ locations. Behind every route, from parcel routing engines to mobile apps, there is a complex technology landscape. You'll help shape the platform that runs it. This is a Platform Engineer role in a fast-paced team that plays a central part in a large Microservices architecture rollout. You'll have real influence over how engineering teams build, ship and run software.

PROJECT & CONTEXT

You will design, build and evolve the internal developer platform for Java/Spring Boot services running across AWS, Azure and Kubernetes. Your work will include:

• Creating reusable deployment patterns, Helm charts and self-service templates for containerised applications (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Ansible and CloudFormation, covering environments, networking, identity, secrets, storage and runtime services
• Building and improving CI/CD with GitHub, Jenkins, Argo CD, Maven, Gradle, Nexus and Sonar
• Enabling API and integration delivery across Apigee, OpenAPI, REST, SOAP and gRPC, with OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, Azure AD and Azure AD B2C authentication patterns
• Supporting event-driven and data-integration solutions
• Providing shared observability: dashboards, alerting and tracing standards
• Embedding security and compliance into platform defaults (secrets, vulnerability management, certificates, secure delivery)
• Improving resilience, performance and operational readiness through runbooks, incident learning, capacity management and toil-reducing automation
• Tracking adoption, reliability and delivery outcomes, and evolving the platform based on feedback from engineering teams

Work model: Hybrid. The office is in Venda do Pinheiro (Mafra/Malveira area, Greater Lisbon). You'll start with 1-2 office days per week, which may later drop to 1-2 visits per month.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Required)

• Several years of hands-on experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, SRE or a closely related role in a complex environment
• Strong practical experience with one major cloud provider, ideally AWS
• Infrastructure as Code experience, ideally Terraform and/or cloud-native tooling
• Hands-on experience with containers and Kubernetes, including deployment, networking, storage, security and operational troubleshooting
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git-based workflows, automated testing, artifact management and release practices
• Experience designing or operating observability, logging and monitoring solutions, and confidence troubleshooting distributed systems
• Good scripting or software engineering skills, preferably Python
• Solid knowledge of cloud security fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, encryption, network controls and audit logging
• A product mindset: you listen to engineering teams, simplify their experience and balance standardisation with practical flexibility
• Languages: English, B2 (Upper Intermediate) minimum, with confidence working in distributed, cross-functional and international teams

NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)

• Exposure to Azure
• Experience building an internal developer platform, service catalogue or self-service workflow
• Experience with large-scale migrations, hybrid-cloud or multi-country enterprise environments
• Knowledge of Azure AI, data platforms, event-driven architectures or API management
• Cloud, Kubernetes or security certifications
• Experience coaching engineers or contributing to engineering standards and communities of practice

Compensation: €2,000 - €2,650/month net, depending on experience and seniority level.
