Someone who can guide by example, bring clarity during complexity and help others level up without creating political friction or unnecessary process overhead. What is needed? * 6+ years of experience within Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE or modern Infrastructure Engineering * Strong production-level Kubernetes experience * Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and/or Ansible * Experience with GitOps principles and tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux * Experience working with CI/CD pipelines in production environments * Strong Linux and systems engineering fundamentals * Experience troubleshooting complex distributed infrastructure problems * Understanding of networking, certificates, secrets management and infrastructure security * Comfortable working in a highly technical and somewhat introverted engineering culture * Strong communication skills and the ability to guide teams through technical change * Fluent English communication skills, * Some experience and great curiosity around AI-assisted developer tooling and automation * Experience with Backstage * Experience with the Argo ecosystem * Crossplane experience * VMware-to-Kubernetes migration experience * Azure experience * Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD/CKS) ## Description * Do you want to help shape a Kubernetes-first platform engineering environment instead of simply maintaining infrastructure? * Are you looking for a role where you combine deep technical ownership with real influence on architecture, platform direction and developer experience? * Do you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges within globally used mission-critical systems that support large-scale operational processes? * And how does a direct permanent contract, hybrid working, an international engineering environment and a salary up to €95.000 + 12% bonus sound? Your employer: building mission-critical infrastructure used around the world You will join an internationally operating technology organization building large-scale software platforms that support critical operational processes across global infrastructure and logistics environments. The systems developed here are used daily in environments where reliability, scalability and operational continuity are essential. This is technology with direct real-world impact: the kind of infrastructure that helps keep global goods flows and industrial operations moving. This is not another SaaS company optimizing ad-clicks or dashboards. What makes this environment particularly interesting is the phase the organization is currently in., As a Senior DevOps / Senior Platform Engineer (Kubernetes/GitOps), you will help drive the transition from a traditional infrastructure environment toward a modern Kubernetes-first platform engineering setup. This is a role for someone who enjoys building platforms, not just maintaining them. You will work closely with the infrastructure lead and the rest of the platform team to help define how the future internal platform should evolve. You will play a key role in shaping Kubernetes adoption, GitOps standards, platform governance and developer self-service capabilities across the engineering organization. You will work on: * Kubernetes platform engineering * GitOps workflows with ArgoCD * Terraform and Ansible based Infrastructure-as-Code * CI/CD improvements and automation * Monitoring and observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Thanos * Developer platform initiatives using technologies such as Backstage and the Argo ecosystem * Self-service infrastructure flows and paved-road developer experiences * VMware to Kubernetes migration challenges * Reliability, scalability and operational governance The environment is highly hands-on and technically deep. One moment you may be helping troubleshoot a production Kubernetes issue under pressure. The next moment you may be designing a better self-service deployment flow, improving governance around cluster usage or helping define how workloads should transition from virtual machines toward containerized environments. You will also help elevate the maturity of the team itself, where you get to actively implement AI-assisted developer tooling and automation to improve developer experience and operational efficiency. In this role you will influence through technical credibility, not people management. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [One Platform Could Not Fit Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1919-one-platform-could-not-fit-them-all) ## Related Articles - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/279-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-amsterdam) - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam)
