# Platform Engineer

- **Company:** Finmid
- **Location:** Berlin, Germany (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Programming Tools, Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Software Engineering, TypeScript, Kotlin, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Microservices
- **Published:** September 18, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.de/details/5886396147

## About the Role

* You're a pragmatist. You find the simplest solution that actually works, not the most impressive one.
 * You're comfortable with infrastructure. You have hands-on experience with containers, orchestration, and cloud platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, or similar).
 * You write clean, maintainable code. We mostly work in Kotlin and TypeScript, but we won't filter you out over a language.
 * You communicate well. You can explain technical decisions to non-technical people and collaborate across teams without friction.
 * You want to grow. You're not looking for a role where you do the same thing every day. You want to stretch.

Bonus points for

 * Experience with financial services, payments, or regulated environments.
 * Familiarity with managing micro-services running on JVM runtime.
 * A track record of driving projects from idea to production.
 * Experience working in distributed / remote teams.

## Description

We're looking for a Platform Engineer who wants to own the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. You'll build and maintain the systems our engineering teams rely on every day - CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, data tooling, AI integrations, and developer experience as a whole. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll design systems from scratch, introduce new tools, and have a direct say in how we build software.

What You Will Work On

 * Architect and manage our cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes.
 * Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and internal platforms.
 * Evaluate, integrate, and roll out new tools and services across the company.
 * Partner with product and business teams to remove bottlenecks and ship faster.
 * Own production systems end-to-end - from design decisions to incident response.
 * Raise the bar on security, observability, and engineering standards.
