Platform Engineer

ph3Platform Engineer at Nedap /h3 pAre you an experienced bPlatform Engineer /b who enjoys building scalable cloud solutions and thrives on complex technical challenges? As a bPlatform Engineer /b at Nedap in the dairy farming sector, you will work on the further development of Nedap Now, the cloud platform that processes millions of messages every day from dairy farms around the world. /p pTogether with your team, you will build the foundation on which other teams can reliably develop, host and roll out their solutions. You will focus on managing and improving our hosting environment on Kubernetes, automating build and deployment processes, and further professionalising our infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with fellow developers to design and review solutions, solve technical challenges, and ensure that Nedap Now remains stable, secure and scalable for today and the future. /p pbTech stack: /b The tech stack is largely based on Microsoft technology. Our teams are at the forefront of adopting new technologies and are constantly looking for ways to make the platform smarter, more reliable and more scalable. Nedap Now is hosted on Azure and runs on a modern Kubernetes environment. The entire infrastructure is rolled out automatically across multiple Azure regions, ensuring the platform remains globally available, robust and future‑proof. /p pThe platform processes millions of incoming messages every day, and the ambition is to see this grow exponentially in the coming years. Observability plays a key role in reliably supporting that growth. That is why we use the LGTM stack: Loki, Grafana, Tempo and Thanos. This gives teams insight into logging, metrics, tracing and dashboards, enabling them to quickly identify, analyse and improve. /p pYou will therefore be working in a modern cloud‑native environment where Azure, Kubernetes, infrastructure automation and observability come together. /p pbYour responsibilities /b /p pIn this role, you will make a direct contribution to the stability, security and scalability of our cloud platform. You will be responsible for: /p pbDevelopment /b /p ul liDeveloping and maintaining the platform components required to keep our Kubernetes hosting environment reliable, scalable and easy to manage. /li /ul pbAutomation /b /p ul liImplementing and improving automation in our build, deployment and release processes, so that teams can deploy quickly, securely and predictably. /li /ul pbInfrastructure /b /p ul liFurther developing our Azure infrastructure, with a focus on Kubernetes, networking, security, Identity and Access Management, and reliability. /li /ul pbTechnical decisions /b /p ul liMaking well‑considered technical decisions together with your team and reviewing code. /li /ul pbArchitecture /b /p ul liContributing ideas on the architecture of our platform foundations and identifying opportunities for improvement in terms of scalability, monitoring, performance and reliability. /li /ul pbCloud support /b /p ul liTogether with your team, you analyse critical issues in the field and work on solutions for the software for which you are responsible. /li /ul pbYour team /b /p pAs a bPlatform Engineer /b, you will join an experienced and close‑knit platform team, consisting of a Product Owner, Developers and a Software Test Engineer who also acts as the Scrum Master.
