HEY THERE! 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. Let's shape the future of nutrition together and make Yazio the most successful nutrition app worldwide! This role is 100% remote and open to candidates based in Germany, Spain, Portugal or the UK.   YOUR MISSION 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 YOUR PROFILE 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 Here's what we currently run in production: - 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 If you've run Kubernetes on GKE or AKS rather than EKS, the patterns transfer.   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: MacBoo
