# Senior Platform Engineer

- **Company:** Sytac
- **Location:** Amsterdam, Netherlands
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Cloud Foundry, Continuous Integration, System Availability, Kubernetes, Terraform
- **Published:** November 12, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.nl/details/5961926642

## About the Role

* Senior-level Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience across cloud providers - you set the standard, not just follow it.
 * Extensive Kubernetes experience - GKE, EKS, AKS or equivalent - at an architectural level. This goes well beyond having worked with it.
 * Proven CI/CD experience at scale - multiple teams, multiple pipelines, complex workloads.
 * Hands-on ArgoCD experience in a production environment.
 * Solid GitOps experience - ArgoCD, Flux, or both - across more than one employer or context.
 * A platform mindset: you build for others, optimise for usability, and care about developer experience as much as infrastructure correctness.
 * Java experience is not required for this role.

Nice to have

 * Experience building or contributing to an Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
 * CKAD or CKA certification - or equivalent demonstrable depth in Kubernetes.
 * Experience with landing zones, cloud governance, and IaC standards at an enterprise scale.

## Description

* Design, build, and maintain cloud-native platform infrastructure with Kubernetes as a first-class citizen - architecture-level ownership, not just operations.
 * Own and evolve Infrastructure as Code at senior level using Terraform - setting standards, not just implementing them.
 * Build and scale CI/CD pipelines that serve multiple teams and workloads at scale, ensuring fast, reliable, and secure delivery.
 * Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using ArgoCD - driving deployment consistency and auditability across environments.
 * Collaborate with engineering teams to improve developer experience and platform reliability.
 * Contribute to and potentially help build an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that enables teams to self-serve infrastructure and deployment capabilities.
