Full Job Description

📋 Description

• You've run Kubernetes in production long enough to know the difference between using a cluster and owning one. Maybe you're part of a large platform team where you only ever see your slice. Here, you'd see all of it: our Platform Engineering team is small and senior, building and running the infrastructure that Yazio's Backend and Data Engineering teams deploy to every day. We're hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to help us run that platform and push it further toward cloud-native.
• Think of our platform as an internal product, with Yazio's engineers as your users. You'll:
• Run and evolve our Kubernetes landscape (Amazon EKS, plus on-prem clusters via Rancher). Every deployment at Yazio lands on what you operate
• Automate deployment and scaling until releases are a non-event, and guide engineering teams in getting the most out of that automation
• Build out observability so you spot problems before users notice them: metrics, dashboards, alerting
• Dig into infrastructure-level incidents and turn what you find into fixes that stick
• Design the abstractions that let Backend and Data Engineers ship without opening a ticket
• Have a real say in our shift away from the remaining self-hosted infrastructure: what moves to the cloud, what stays and what gets automated away
• You'll thrive here if:
• You've operated Kubernetes in production for years. Upgrades, capacity planning, debugging the cluster itself, not just the workloads running on it
• Observability, GitOps and deployment automation are how you work by default, not extras you bolt on later
• You're at home on a Linux host, and the second time you touch something manual, you automate it
• You know databases (relational and key-value) and networking well enough to reason through a production issue. You don't need to be a DBA or a network engineer; curiosity covers the rest
• Small team, changing priorities, nobody handing you a spec: that sounds like your kind of week
• When you explain a complex technical trade-off, people leave the conversation clearer than they arrived
• Bonus points for:
• Go (a lot of our tooling is written in it, and so is the Kubernetes ecosystem) or Python beyond simple scripting
• Running self-hosted databases in production, replication and recovery included
• Deep networking knowledge (TLS, TCP/UDP internals)
• Operating on-prem Kubernetes with Rancher
• Our Core Tech Stack includes:
• Infrastructure & platform: Kubernetes (Amazon EKS and on-prem via Rancher), Docker, Linux-based systems, AWS
• CI/CD & automation: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Ansible, GitOps workflows
• Databases: MariaDB and PostgreSQL
• Monitoring & observability: Prometheus, Grafana, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, Graylog
• Programming: Go, Python, Bash
• Why Us?
• An exciting product with millions of users in over 150 countries, driven by our mission to transform the world through healthy eating
• A remote-first setup: work 100% from home, join a co-working space or work abroad for several weeks per year
• 30 vacation days to relax and recharge, plus 5 child sick days if your little one needs you
• A focus-driven culture that values efficiency over long hours—no overtime expectations, and if it happens, you get that time back!
• A high-impact environment where your work drives real change—short decision-making processes and no micromanagement
• A team culture where ambition and balance go hand in hand, supported by strong connections—from our fully covered company retreat to team meetups and virtual coffee breaks
• Tools and support to do your best work: MacBook, monitor and €1,000 annual learning budget, plus regular feedback and career development
• A truly international team with English as our company language and a shared commitment to growth and well-being—supported by Sunday Supplements and Nilo Health
