Job description

Was du bei uns bewegst:

  • Design, build, and continuously improve our internal developer platform on AWS using Terraform, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and developer experience
  • Automate infrastructure delivery through CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Spacelift) and expand self-service capabilities for product teams
  • Own and evolve core platform components so teams can build, deploy, and operate services more autonomously
  • Review pull requests, share knowledge, and help maintain high engineering standards across the platform
  • Evaluate and introduce new AWS services, tools, and cloud-native patterns where they add clear value
  • Strengthen the platform’s security, compliance, and resilience through clear standards, guardrails, and robust platform design
  • Work closely with product teams to understand their needs, remove bottlenecks in developer workflows, and translate those needs into scalable platform solutions

Was du mitbringst:

  • Strong hands-on experience operating critical large-scale AWS environments, with broad knowledge of AWS technologies across areas such as compute, storage, networking, backup and recovery, and cloud security best practices
  • Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CI/CD and automation practices, agile software delivery, and Platform Engineering concepts, ideally including the development of internal developer platforms
  • A strong sense of end-to-end ownership and the ability to reliably drive topics forward, even in complex environments
  • Clear and respectful communication skills, openness to feedback, and a collaborative mindset that supports knowledge sharing and continuous learning
  • A systems and product mindset with a strong focus on internal users and their needs
  • The ability to challenge existing solutions thoughtfully and make sound engineering trade-offs that balance quality, speed, and maintainability
  • Curiosity, forward-looking thinking, and a structured approach to discussions that helps drive continuous improvement
