Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Platform Engineer - **Company:** Avular - **Location:** Eindhoven, Netherlands - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Proxmox, Bash Shell, C++ (Programming Language), Ubuntu (Operating System), Continuous Integration, Linux, Programming Tools, Github, Python (Programming Language), Linux System Administration, Windows PowerShell, Software Licensing Audit, Software Engineering, Software Factory, Delivery Pipeline, Information Technology, Docker - **Published:** September 29, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.avular.com/careers/platform-engineer ## About the Role We are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership of engineering infrastructure and who combines software engineering with pragmatic systems administration. You have: * Strong Linux administration skills; most of our infrastructure runs on Ubuntu. * Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and build pipelines. Experience with GitHub Actions is a plus. * Experience operating self-hosted build infrastructure or comparable developer tooling. * Solid scripting and automation skills, for example in Python, Bash or PowerShell. * Experience with package registries, artefact repositories, or dependency management. * An understanding of software supply-chain security concepts such as SBOMs, CVEs, and dependency scanning. * Enough software-engineering background to understand the problems faced by the developers using the platform. * A proactive mindset: you investigate problems, coordinate with the people involved and follow through until they are resolved. * Good spoken and written English. Dutch is a plus. A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field is useful, but equivalent practical experience is just as valuable. Nice to haves * C++ and/or ROS, or other embedded and robotics build environments. * Docker and virtualisation platforms such as Proxmox. * Software composition analysis and vulnerability-management tooling. * Software compliance and security frameworks such as the CRA, NIS2 or ISO 27001. * GitHub, Jira and Confluence administration or automation. ## Description That means both building and improving the platform, and taking operational ownership of it. When a nightly build starts failing, runners become unreliable, or an important pull request gets stuck, you don't wait for somebody else to raise a ticket: you investigate, find the right owner and follow the issue through to resolution. You will: * Own and maintain our CI/CD infrastructure and self-hosted build runners. * Monitor the health of pipelines, runners and nightly builds, and proactively follow up on failures. * Make bottlenecks such as long-running or stale pull requests visible and help teams get them resolved. * Improve build reliability, performance and reproducibility. * Set up, operate, and maintain internal developer services such as package registries and artefact repositories. * Build out our software supply-chain tooling, including SBOM generation and management, dependency scanning, and CVE monitoring. * Ensure that software releases and their dependencies remain traceable. * Automate repetitive operational work and eliminate recurring sources of failure. * Maintain the Linux infrastructure on which these services run, including upgrades, backups and monitoring. * Define sensible metrics for the health of our software factory and continuously improve it. * Document what you build and make sure the development organisation can rely on it. You won't be responsible for fixing every broken build, vulnerable dependency or stale pull request yourself. You are responsible for making sure problems become visible, get an owner and don't silently remain unresolved., Your data will be stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary to evaluate your application or comply with legal obligations. You can request access to, correction, or deletion of your data at any time by contacting recruitment@avular.com. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [One Platform Could Not Fit Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1919-one-platform-could-not-fit-them-all) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [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 Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
