Platform Engineer
(m/w/d)
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.
