Platform Engineer

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Platform Engineer in India. As a Platform Engineer, you will own the infrastructure that powers the next generation of financial connectivity for SMEs across Europe. This is a high-impact role where you will bridge the gap between regulated financial infrastructure and modern software engineering, moving beyond mere maintenance to actively designing systems from scratch. You will work in a "distributed-first" environment, collaborating with a world-class team to build CI/CD pipelines, cloud systems, and AI integrations that enhance the developer experience. Your mission is to remove technical bottlenecks and raise the bar for security and observability in a fast-scaling fintech ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity for a pragmatic problem-solver to have a direct say in how software is built and delivered globally.

Accountabilities

Infrastructure Orchestration

Architect and manage robust cloud infrastructure utilizing AWS and Kubernetes to ensure high availability and scalability of financial services.

Developer Experience & Tooling

Build and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines, internal platforms, and developer tools to streamline the path from code to production.

System Ownership

Own production systems end-to-end, taking responsibility for everything from initial design decisions to proactive incident response and resolution.

Cross-Functional Partnership

Partner with product and business teams to identify technical friction points and implement solutions that allow the organization to ship features faster.

Standards & Security

Evaluate and integrate new services while maintaining rigorous engineering standards for security, observability, and system reliability.

Requirements

Technical Proficiency

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms and container orchestration, specifically using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS.

Coding Standards

Ability to write clean, maintainable code; while the stack primarily uses Kotlin and TypeScript, a strong foundational command of software engineering principles is essential.

Pragmatic Problem Solving

A focus on finding the simplest, most effective solutions to complex problems rather than the most "impressive" or over-engineered ones.

Communication Skills

Excellent ability to explain complex technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate seamlessly across distributed teams.

Growth Mindset

A strong desire to stretch your capabilities beyond a repetitive daily routine and a track record of driving projects from initial idea to full production.

Experience (Bonus)

Previous exposure to financial services, payment systems, or regulated environments, as well as experience managing microservices on the JVM runtime.

Benefits

Remote-First Flexibility

A truly "distributed-first" culture that allows you to work productively from your preferred location in India.

Modern Tooling

Access to premium hardware and software to ensure maximum productivity, including MacOS and advanced AI coding assistants like Claude Code.

Work-Life Balance

Generous time off with 30 days of annual leave to ensure you stay refreshed and energized.

Financial Upside

Meaningful equity opportunities that allow you to share in the long-term success and growth of the company.

Supportive Setup

A dedicated home office stipend to help you create an ergonomic and efficient remote workspace.

Inclusive Culture

An open-minded and transparent environment featuring regular All-Hands meetings, "Brown Bag" lunches, and team offsites.
