What will be your role

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our team and take full technical ownership of the software development platform and CI/CD ecosystem of a leading mobility technology company, whose solutions power road operations and traffic management across Europe and the US. Your mission is simple but impactful: make it effortless for development teams to ship secure, reliable, high-quality software. You'll be the go-to person for everything platform-related, combining hands‑on DevOps expertise with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for developer experience, automation and operational excellence.

Your responsibilities will include

• Owning the CI/CD ecosystem end-to-end: shared GitLab CI/CD templates, builder images, the corporate Maven parent POM and pipelines across multiple tech stacks;
• Administering and evolving the DevOps toolchain, including GitLab, CI runners and build agents, artifact repositories, and code quality and observability tools;
• Operating Jira and Confluence on Amazon EKS;
• Embedding security and quality into CI/CD with Software Composition Analysis, SBOMs, vulnerability management, secret detection and quality gates;
• Being the first point of contact for development teams on platform requests and troubleshooting;
• Maintaining the engineering metrics platform and its dashboards;
• Ensuring platform reliability and continuity: backups, disaster recovery, restore testing, maintenance, incident management and root cause analysis;
• Delivering training and documentation, mentoring other engineers and working closely with technology vendors;

What should you bring to the team

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform, Software or Infrastructure Engineering, with a degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience;
• Proven experience designing and running CI/CD pipelines and software development platforms, ideally with GitLab CI/CD and the Java/Maven build ecosystem;
• Strong command of Git, Linux (RHEL/Rocky), Bash and Python, plus Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible;
• Hands-on experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes) and practical AWS knowledge, including PostgreSQL/Amazon RDS;
• DevSecOps mindset: software supply chain security (SCA, SBOM), vulnerability and secrets management, and daily, fluent use of AI coding assistants;
• Fluent English (mandatory, written and spoken);

Nice to have

• Experience with Nexus Repository, SonarQube or Dependency-Track;
• Amazon EKS and Helm;
• Identity and access tools such as Okta (SAML SSO) or Teleport;
• Observability stacks such as Grafana, Prometheus or Loki;
• Virtualisation platforms (Proxmox or other hypervisors) and networking know-how (DNS, TLS/PKI, reverse proxies, WAF, VPN);
• Relevant certifications (Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, GitLab, RHCSA or ITIL 4);

What is in it for you

• An amazing informal culture of smart, hardworking, and friendly people who support and care about each other;
• A mentorship program from day one;
• The opportunity to own a platform that directly shapes how dozens of engineers build and ship software;
• Formal training and certifications;
• Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies;
• A dynamic company where your ideas matter more than your job title;
• Flexibility with responsibility;
• A Rubber Duck to help you debug those stubborn pipelines;
