Platform Engineer - Pi-Engineer

Consultative Delivery: Act as a trusted advisor to clients. You'll switch seamlessly between hands-on engineering, technical mentoring, and strategic value-add/pre-sales conversations.

Platform & Ecosystem Building: Design and scale internal developer platforms (IDPs). A major focus will be leveraging tools like Spotify Backstage to improve developer experience (DevX) for our clients.

Hands-on Engineering: Write clean, production-ready code while simultaneously establishing robust DevOps pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC), and automated testing strategies.

Drive the AI-Native Mission: Actively use, experiment with, and champion AI-assisted development tools. You will help clients understand how to safely and effectively integrate AI into their engineering workflows

The Core: A strong background in Software Engineering, which evolved naturally into DevOps, Test Automation, and ultimately Cloud/Platform Engineering.

The Stack: Proficient in Python and TypeScript (Java is a strong plus).

The AI Flex: If you are an AI power-user who can rapidly adapt to new languages using AI assistance, we are highly flexible on your core language stack.

Platform Ecosystems: Hands-on experience with Spotify Backstage (or similar developer portals) is a massive advantage.

Cloud & DevOps: Deep knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP, alongside modern CI/CD, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

The Consultant Mindset:

Spot-on Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. You can explain complex cloud architecture to a Developer and business value to a stakeholder.

Versatility: You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy changing contexts. You see yourself as a problem-solver first, and a technologist second.

Commercial Acumen: Comfortable identifying new opportunities within existing client accounts and supporting pre-sales or discovery phase
