Platform Engineer

Work Model full time

Hi – nice to meet you!

As a Platform Engineer, your customer is not the ski resort – your customer is our Development Team. We have 4 teams building complex software. Your job is to build the Digital Foundation underneath them. You ensure that our infrastructure is invisible, automated, scalable, and secure. You empower our Feature Developers to ship code to production multiple times a day without breaking a sweat (or the server) and ensure Skadii survives the “Christmas Morning” traffic spikes.

Key Responsibilities
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
    • Architecture: Manage and evolve our cloud resources (AWS/Azure) strictly through code (Terraform/CloudFormation). We do not manage infrastructure by clicking in a console.
    • Scalability: Design auto-scaling rules and load balancing strategies that handle our extreme seasonality (high load in winter, low in summer) cost-effectively.
  • Developer Experience (DX) & Pipelines
    • CI/CD Ownership: You own the “pipe.” You ensure that the path from git commit to Production is fast, automated, and safe.
    • Environment Management: Create self-service capabilities so developers can spin up ephemeral environments for testing without waiting for permission.
  • Reliability & Observability
    • Monitoring: Implement the “Eyes and Ears” of the system (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK). You ensure we know about an outage before the customer calls support.
    • Incident Response: Help structure our On-Call rotation and lead “Post-Mortems” after incidents to ensure we learn and improve the system’s resilience.
Capabilities & Requirements
  • Cloud Native: Deep expertise in Azure and container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker).
  • Scripting: Strong proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash. You automate everything.
  • Security Mindset: You understand how to manage secrets, firewalls, and access controls in a distributed system.
  • Service Oriented: You view the developers as your clients. You are here to unblock them, not to be a “Gatekeeper.”
Success Metrics (KPIs)
  • Deployment Frequency: Increasing the number of times we can safely deploy per week.
  • Lead Time for Changes: Reducing the time from Code Commit to Production.
  • System Uptime: 99.9+% availability during the core winter season.

Our way of working

Like a Start-up. Only More Stable.
We think like a start-up, but with long-term stability. At skadii, curiosity, ownership, and hands-on execution matter more than rigid to-do lists. We build features, clean up code, and challenge ideas from concept to implementation. We don’t just talk about innovation. We build it.
Short Paths. Long-Term Impact.
We keep communication simple and direct. Our doors (and Slack channels) are always open. That means less waiting, faster decisions, and more room to focus on what really matters. We create space for collaboration and a shared mission, because software only works when people enjoy building it.
No Hierarchy Talk. Just Teamwork.
At skadii, collaboration comes first. We work cross-functionally across development, design, product, and strategy. We believe in openness, responsibility, and supporting each other in everyday work. No unnecessary politics. Just people working together toward shared goals.
Agile? Absolutely.
For us, agile is more than a process. It’s a mindset. We think fast, iterate quickly, and focus on execution. Done is better than perfect. We make decisions pragmatically, learn from what doesn’t work, and continuously improve with every step.
Clear Communication Over Guesswork.
We communicate openly. About goals, numbers, and challenges. In regular updates, everyone knows what’s happening: from strategy to ongoing projects. Feedback is direct, honest, and always on equal footing.
Our Software. Our Product. Our Standard.
We build software that creates real value. We focus on features, user needs, and impact. Not ego or trends. We continuously challenge what we build, because good isn’t enough. It has to be right, for the people using it.
Grow Your Strengths
There’s no one-size-fits-all career path at skadii. But there are many opportunities. We believe in growth. In projects, in skills, and in mindset. Whether you’re a career changer, a specialist, or taking on leadership responsibilities, we support you in finding your path.
Flexible Work Environment
Depending on the task and schedule, working remotely can be an option. At the same time, we value the benefits of being together in person. Which is why our office spaces are designed to encourage collaboration, creativity, and everyday exchange with the team.
