We are looking for a Platform Engineer to join the team — a persone who collaborates, innovates, and treats every problem as a mission to be completed. You will help build and operate the internal platform that other engineering teams depend on: GitOps delivery, Kubernetes-based runtime, infrastructure automation, and developer self-service capabilities. You will use AI and Agentic AI as everyday tools to accelerate everything you do — code generation, automation, troubleshooting, documentation, and platform tooling.
About:
Our client is developing electro-mechanical devices for dairy farms, pulsators and automatic detachers. The solution is leading in the industry with advanced cow monitoring solutions based on activity and rumination sensors.
Responsibilities:
Platform Engineering (Core):
- Build and operate the internal platform: GitOps delivery, Kubernetes runtime, infrastructure automation, and developer self-service capabilities;
- Apply platform-as-product thinking — product teams are your customers; developer experience is the metric;
- Contribute to the team's evolution toward IDP capabilities on Port, Crossplane, and self-service control planes;
- Maintain and extend Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / OpenTofu) for platform components;
Ship POCs that turn into platform capabilities.
AI & Agentic AI in Daily Work:
- Use AI coding assistants (Claude, Copilot, or similar) for code, IaC, and platform automation;
- Design and use agentic AI workflows to automate repetitive platform tasks — investigation, remediation, documentation, scaffolding;
- Build AI-augmented tooling into the platform itself where it accelerates product teams;
Set the bar for the team on responsible, effective use of AI in engineering work.
Cloud, AWS & Networking (Foundational):
- Operate confidently in AWS: EKS, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch;
- Networking proficiency is required: VPC design, subnets, CIDR planning, route tables, security groups, NACLs, peering, Transit Gateway, VPC endpoints, DNS (Route53);
- Troubleshoot connectivity, ingress/egress, and cross-account/cross-VPC traffic flows;
Apply networking knowledge to Kubernetes: Services, Ingress, Network Policies, CNI behavior.
GitOps & Kubernetes (Day-One Operational):
- Operate ArgoCD as a core platform capability: GitOps workflows, application/infrastructure delivery, multi-environment promotion;
- Own ApplicationSets-driven multi-version, branch, and PR deployment patterns — providing the platform capability while product teams consume it;
- Deploy, troubleshoot, and instrument Kubernetes workloads;
Apply progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue-green) where they fit.
GitHub Org & Artifact Management (Platform-Owned):
- Manage the GitHub organization as a platform service: orgs, teams, repos, templates, code owners, branch and environment protections, secrets, OIDC to AWS.
- Build and maintain reusable GitHub Actions workflows that product teams consume out of the box;
- Operate CI bots for PR validation, auto-labeling, auto-merge on green, and policy enforcement;
- Curate Copilot org policies and custom Copilot instructions so AI assistance is consistent and safe across repos;
Operate JFrog Artifactory as the artifact backbone: registries, retention, promotion paths, Xray scanning, and signed artifacts flowing through environments.
Collaboration & Leadership:
- Collaborate with CloudOps, DevSecOps, FinOps, and SRE — peer-to-peer, not siloed;
- Mentor team members; deliver POCs, technical presentations, and documentation;
- Bring innovation to the team: new tools, new patterns, new ways of working;
- Champion shared standards across the platform community.
Requirements:
- 7+ years in Platform Engineering, SRE, or closely related roles;
- Platform mindset — you build platforms and self-service capabilities; you do not run a ticket queue;
- AI fluency: hands-on daily use of AI coding assistants and agentic AI workflows to deliver engineering work;
- AWS proficiency: EKS, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudWatch, and the operational fundamentals;
- AWS networking: VPC, subnets, CIDR planning, route tables, security groups, NACLs, peering / Transit Gateway, VPC endpoints, Route53 — confident designing and troubleshooting multi-VPC topologies;
- Kubernetes: strong operational proficiency — deploying, troubleshooting, and instrumenting workloads (not cluster architecture);
- ArgoCD & GitOps: multi-environment Kubernetes deployments, ApplicationSets, progressive delivery;
- Terraform / OpenTofu: proficiency with declarative infrastructure management;
- CI/CD: tool-agnostic pipeline design (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or both);
- GitHub as a platform: org/team/repo administration, reusable Actions workflows, branch and environment protections, OIDC to AWS, CI bots for PR validation and auto-merge, and Copilot org policies / custom Copilot instructions;
- Artifact management: hands-on with JFrog Artifactory (or directly comparable, e.g., Nexus, GitHub Packages at scale) — registries, retention, promotion, vulnerability scanning;
- Scripting: Python, Go, Bash, or similar for automation and tooling;
- Team player and assertive collaborator: works effectively across Platform, CloudOps, DevSecOps, FinOps, and SRE functions; takes initiative and finishes missions;
- IDP tools (Stack Port, Backstage) — central to where the team is heading;
- Crossplane for Kubernetes-based infrastructure management;
- Argo ecosystem depth (Rollouts, Workflows, Events);
- SRE practices: SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, incident response, post-incident reviews;
- DORA metrics: defining, tracking, and driving measurable delivery improvement;
- Building or operating internal AI-powered developer tools;
- At least Upper-Intermediate English level.
Would be a plus:
- Observability: Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus & Grafana — instrumentation, dashboards, alerting (a Plus, not a requirement);
- Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd);
- FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization tooling;
- Policy as Code (OPA, Kyverno);
- Certifications: CKA/CKAD, AWS Solutions Architect/DevOps Engineer/Advanced Networking, HashiCorp Terraform.
We offer:
Professional Development: Free English courses, free access to the corporate Udemy account, corporate digital library subscription, possibility to participate and share your knowledge as a speaker in our internal meetups.
Benefits: 100% paid vacation and sick leaves, opportunity to accumulate part of the own salary in the company in dollar terms.
