Job Description
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Engineer (Platform) based in Spain.
As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll help build and evolve the systems that enable engineering teams to deliver software quickly, safely, and reliably at scale. You’ll work across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, developer tooling, and operational workflows. The role combines hands-on engineering with a strong focus on improving developer experience and reducing infrastructure complexity. You’ll partner closely with application, security, and infrastructure teams in a highly distributed, asynchronous environment. You’ll also explore practical applications of AI and automation to increase engineering productivity and reduce operational toil. This is an opportunity to shape platform capabilities as a product while building reliable foundations for a globally distributed organization.
Accountabilities
- Design and maintain internal developer tooling, reusable packages, and platform abstractions that provide simple, self-service solutions and reduce operational complexity.
- Build, operate, and continuously improve automated CI/CD pipelines that enable frequent, safe, and reliable software delivery.
- Develop and operate AWS cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, with a focus on scalability, availability, security, and cost efficiency.
- Apply SRE principles, observability practices, and effective incident-management processes to improve reliability, reduce outages, and accelerate recovery.
- Identify practical opportunities to use AI, automation, and intelligent tooling to improve developer productivity, automate repetitive operational workflows, and reduce engineering toil.
- Treat the internal engineering organization as a customer by turning recurring pain points into scalable platform capabilities and continuously improving solutions through feedback and metrics.
- Collaborate closely with application, security, and infrastructure engineers to troubleshoot issues, support incident response, and promote reliable and secure engineering practices.
- Contribute to a remote-first culture based on asynchronous collaboration, transparency, trust, and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or a comparable production engineering role.
- Strong software development skills, with the ability to build maintainable automation, tooling, and reusable platform abstractions.
- Proven hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating production systems on AWS.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally using Terraform or an equivalent technology.
- Practical experience building, operating, and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
- Experience with observability, monitoring, and production debugging using tools such as Datadog, Sentry, or comparable platforms.
- Strong understanding of reliability engineering, incident response, and production operations.
- A platform-oriented mindset, with a focus on reducing cognitive load for engineering teams and making secure, reliable practices easy to adopt.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, particularly within remote and asynchronous engineering environments.
- Fluent English and a reliable home internet connection, or the ability to obtain one.
- Experience with internal developer platforms, golden paths, or self-service infrastructure is a plus.
- Familiarity with AI coding assistants, agents, or AI-powered developer tools for engineering productivity and infrastructure automation is a plus.
- Experience with Ruby on Rails, Harness, Drone, or other modern CI/CD platforms is advantageous.
- Experience automating Heroku, Render, or similar application platforms through Terraform or scripted workflows is a plus.
- Experience improving macOS or Linux developer environments through automation and tooling is beneficial.
- Previous experience working within remote-first, globally distributed teams is valued.
Benefits
- Fully remote work, with the flexibility to work from anywhere you are legally authorized to work and where your team can collaborate effectively.
- Role aligned with the +4 / +0 UTC time-zone range.
- 40 days of paid time off per year, including holidays and vacation, or more where required by local regulations.
- Mental health and wellbeing support through a dedicated mental well-being service.
- Monthly wellbeing allowance that can be used across a broad range of eligible wellbeing options.
- At least three months of paid parental leave for new parents, with job protection for up to 12 months or as required locally.
- Work-from-home stipend to support laptop and home-office equipment.
- Inclusive, globally distributed working environment that values diverse perspectives and different ways of working.
- Flexible, asynchronous collaboration designed to support employees across different locations and cultures.
- Opportunity to work on high-impact platform engineering challenges involving cloud infrastructure, developer experience, reliability, automation, and AI.
- A trust-based culture focused on continuous improvement, collaboration, and making meaningful progress.
