About the role 🤓

As a Platform Engineer in seQura, you will play a key role in evolving the existing infrastructure to a Platform product.

This will involve abstracting infrastructure complexities, creating reusable components, and developing automation tools that can be leveraged across the organisation. By focusing on platformization, you will enable faster innovation cycles, reduce operational overhead, and help streamline the developer experience, ensuring that engineering teams can focus on building great products.

If you are passionate about cloud infrastructure, automation, and continuous improvement and enjoy solving complex problems, we would love to hear from you!

We manage AWS with Terraform and Atlantis and K8s with Helm and our CICD pipelines are supported by Jenkins, GithubActions and ArgoCD.

Our observability stack mixes Grafana and Prometheus for metrics, Elastic for logs, Jaeger/Tempo for traces and Sentry for errors.

Our languages include Ruby on rails, groovy and Python.
