You energise our network ## Description As a Senior Platform & Developer Experience Engineer within the PMSO team, you are at the heart of Alliander's digital transformation. As System Operations shifts towards Grid-As-A-Service (GaaS) deployed on top of the Siemens GridScaleX (GSX), your primary mission is to evolve and re-architect our delivery mechanics, maximize developer velocity, embed seamless pipeline security, and build the scaffolding that enables microservices to ship safely at scale. While PMSO's dedicated observability specialists focus on Elastic, OpenTelemetry, and APM analytics, you will guide the Platform Engineering, DevSecOps, and Release Automation side of the equation. You will operate with a high degree of technical autonomy-shaping delivery architectures, building local developer tooling, and helping shape future multi-DSO scaling models. We are creating the energy grid of the future, for everyone, with everyone. And as a platform & developer experience engineer you can play your part in this. Your role will involve: * Platform Architecture & Delivery: Enhance and scale CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows (ArgoCD), and internal developer tooling. Build automation in Python and Java to streamline deployments, validation, and dependency management. * DevSecOps & Security: Integrate security controls such as image scanning, secret management, access policies, and automated validation directly into developer workflows. * Infrastructure & Operations: Support platform operations and incident triage, resolve pipeline bottlenecks, and translate developer requirements into clear RFCs for platform vendors. * Multi-DSO & Observability: Contribute to API-driven delivery solutions for external DSOs and ensure platforms provide the telemetry and monitoring capabilities needed for reliable operations.
