Join a high-growth B2B SaaS company where speed, ownership, and innovation drive everything we do. You'll work in a collaborative environment with cross-functional teams and smart, ambitious colleagues. We’re building software that has a real impact on thousands of organizations across Europe.

The role

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in evolving the infrastructure behind our SaaS platform. You’ll design and maintain secure, scalable systems while enabling product teams through automation, CI/CD improvements, and self-service tooling. Your work will accelerate development, reduce toil and raise reliability standards across the organization.

We value simplicity over complexity, long-term reliability over quick wins and enablement over control. You’ll bring senior-level insight, proactive problem-solving and a pragmatic mindset to help us scale confidently.

  • Reduce technical debt through automation and infrastructure refactoring
  • Drive developer enablement via tooling, documentation, and support
  • Advocate for platform best practices across security, performance, and reliability
  • Support incident response and continuous platform hardening

What you bring

  • Strong experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Terraform, GitOps)
  • Solid grasp of SRE practices, platform architecture, and DevEx principle
  • A collaborative, communicative approach to working with development teams
  • A pragmatic mindset focused on scalable, maintainable solutions
  • Bonus: scripting skills (Bash, Python, Go), internal tooling development, or observability stack experience

What we offer

  • Salary range: €60,000-€84,000 (excluding holiday pay)
  • 25 vacation days (based on 40-hour contract)
  • Hybrid work model
  • High-end hardware
  • Pension plan
  • NS Business Card & travel reimbursement
  • Personal training budget
  • Team events, hackathons, and more
