Job Description

As a Senior Cloud Engineer, you will play a key role in evolving our SaaS platform by implementing robust Azure solutions and driving technical excellence within our infrastructure. You'll work with modern tooling like Terraform and Kubernetes to ensure a scalable, secure, and efficient environment for our global customers. Joining a collaborative team, you will balance hands-on technical work with sharing your expertise to help colleagues and our platform grow.

What are you going to do as a Senior Cloud Engineer?

As a Cloud Engineer, you’ll work on the maintenance and evolution of our SaaS platform. You will provision and manage infrastructure using Terraform, optimize Azure networking, and handle containerization with Kubernetes (AKS).

Within your team, you’ll ensure technical alignment and help translate our cloud strategy into clean, maintainable solutions. You are going to actively contribute to prioritizing the backlog and delivering high-quality cloud improvements.

You’ll be part of a team of 32 social technicians who value open feedback and collaboration. And through our “10 to Grow” program, you are encouraged to dedicate 10% of your time and budget to your personal development.

Where will you end up?

You will join one of our four SaaS platform teams based in our Delft office. We are a group of "social technicians" who value transparency and a healthy work-life balance. At TOPdesk, you’ll find a hybrid work environment built on freedom, trust, and responsibility, where we even make time for shared lunches and volunteering during work hours.
