## About the Role

* Strong Terraform experience, including writing, debugging and producing reusable modules for others to consume.
 * CI/CD experience, ideally GitHub Actions - and the guardrails, not only the pipelines. We want to hear about the gates and policy checks you built and why each one exists. Equivalent GitLab CI or Jenkins experience is fine.
 * Solid Kubernetes in production across workloads, CNI, Helm and Argo. Self-managed or bare-metal clusters are a strong plus, as is contributing to or authoring operators.
 * Hands-on experience provisioning and operating GCP or AWS through Infrastructure as Code, with an appetite to go deeper.
 * Strong Linux fundamentals - you can debug a production host without a runbook: processes, networking, storage, systemd, logs, kernel versus user space.
 * Proficiency in Python or Go, with demonstrable experience of test-driven development.
 * Direct experience of production on-call and incident response, and a considered view on what makes a rotation sustainable.
 * Typically 5+ years in infrastructure, platform or systems engineering. Fluent written and spoken English. Based in the Amsterdam area or willing to relocate - this role is on-site and is not remote.

Nice to have

 * A genuine cross-domain background - both Linux/systems and cloud/platform, rather than one of them plus a passing acquaintance with the other.
 * GCP specifically, as our primary cloud.
 * Kafka in production. Real Kafka depth would be a significant win for us.
 * Our fleet tooling: Puppet for host configuration management at scale, Ansible and AWX, and Foreman.
 * Bare-metal and datacenter infrastructure - provisioning, hardware lifecycle, virtualization (VMware, Proxmox) - and networking depth across routing, load balancing, BGP and multicast.
 * Financial services, trading, or another high-availability, latency-sensitive environment. Dutch is useful but not required.
