You’ll build and improve the platform capabilities that enable our engineering teams to develop, deploy, and operate applications effectively at scale.
- Build a self-service developer platform with a particular emphasis on developer experience, designing and maintaining platforms that abstract complexity and give teams the tools to deploy, monitor, and optimise their applications.
- Orchestrate cloud-native infrastructure, manage Kubernetes clusters and other cloud resources, focusing on performance, scalability, and cost efficiency through FinOps practices.
- Boost developer productivity by building and enhancing CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and reusable templates that accelerate development and deployment cycles.
- Drive reliability and scalability through applying practices for fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and scaling so applications run smoothly under changing conditions.
- Improve platform operations usage and enhance our observability stack to monitor platform health and resolve incidents proactively.
- Collaborate and innovate by partnering with product teams to understand their needs, build simple and impactful solutions, and champion cloud-native best practices across Catawiki.
