Building cross-functional engineering teams that take ownership and crave more means we’re always on the lookout for talented people who bring passion and creativity to every project. Our culture embraces openness, acts with respect, shows grit & guts and combines employment with enjoyment.
Project – the aim you’ll have
We are looking for Platform Engineers to join a long-term platform engineering project focused on high-performance infrastructure, automation and self-service provisioning. The platform is being extended to support more advanced infrastructure lifecycle operations, stronger automation, secure access models and integration with underlying infrastructure services.
The key challenge is to abstract complex infrastructure capabilities behind secure APIs and automation layers, so users can consume them in a controlled, scalable and repeatable way.
Position – how you’ll contribute
As a Platform Engineer, you will work close to the infrastructure layer. The role focuses on automation, integration and platform services that interact with physical and virtual infrastructure, storage, networking and lifecycle management tooling.
This is not a classic DevOps-only role. We are looking for engineers who understand infrastructure deeply and can also contribute to automation, Python-based services, agents or integrations. You will work with backend/API developers and infrastructure specialists to support provisioning, lifecycle automation and secure access to platform capabilities.
Expectations – the experience you need
- Strong infrastructure engineering background in data center, hosting, cloud or platform environments
- Practical experience with Linux, server provisioning and infrastructure automation
- Good scripting or development skills, preferably Python
- Understanding of APIs, SDKs and integration with infrastructure tooling
- Experience with Git, CI/CD and automation workflows
- Ability to work close to infrastructure and understand the operational impact of automation
- Strong troubleshooting skills
- Senior ownership mindset and ability to document technical decisions
Additional skills – the edge you have
- Experience with bare metal provisioning, PXE/iPXE, boot order management, firmware or BMC/IPMI/Redfish
- Experience with storage platforms, block/file storage, NVMe over Ethernet or RoCE
- Experience with Kubernetes operators or Kubernetes infrastructure integrations
- Familiarity with Nautobot, NetBox or CMDB/source-of-truth tooling
- Experience building Python microservices or agents that interact with infrastructure APIs
- Knowledge of multi-tenant environments, RBAC and secure infrastructure access models
- Experience with high-performance computing, GPU-heavy infrastructure or large-scale platform environments
