Job summary

Yazio is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to run and extend the Kubernetes-based platform that backs our Backend and Data Engineering teams. You’ll shape a cloud-native future and help move critical workloads from self-hosted infrastructure to the cloud.

The role is 100% remote, with candidates in Germany, Spain, Portugal or the UK. You’ll thrive on observability, automation and reducing toil while guiding teams toward scalable, automated delivery.

Qualifications

• You've operated Kubernetes in production for years, handling upgrades, capacity planning and cluster debugging.
• Observability, GitOps and deployment automation are your default approaches.
• You're comfortable on a Linux host and automate when you touch something manual.
• Familiarity with relational and key-value databases and networking to reason through production issues.

Responsibilities

• Run and evolve our Kubernetes landscape (Amazon EKS, plus on-prem clusters via Rancher).
• Automate deployment and scaling so releases are a non-event and guide engineers to maximize automation.
• Build out observability with metrics, dashboards and alerting.
• Investigate infrastructure incidents and implement lasting fixes.
• Design abstractions enabling Backend and Data Engineers to ship without tickets.
• Influence the shift from self-hosted to cloud infrastructure and what gets automated.
