Senior Platform Engineer Europe

Our client is a purpose‑driven software company focused on the social impact sector, building innovative SaaS solutions that empower nonprofits, donors, and communities to operate more efficiently and maximize their impact.

We’re hiring an experienced Senior Platform Engineer who is relentlessly focused on CI/CD speed and reliability. Executes infrastructure and platform work under the Platform Architect’s direction during the initial stabilization phase – with a singular priority: make the pipeline fast. Fast builds, fast deploys, and ephemeral environments that spin up automatically on every PR and tear down after merge. Every minute saved in the pipeline multiplies across the entire engineering team.

After platform work completes, the engineer shifts into product capability teams as a strong backend/infra‑aware generalist.

• Merge with rollback functionality.
• Automated, PR‑triggered full‑stack environments that provision, run tests, and tear down without manual intervention.
• IaC modules for shared infrastructure components.
• Git Hub Actions workflows for automated testing, linting, and deployment.
• Deployment pipeline metrics and continuous optimization (build times, deploy times, etc.).
• Secret‑management patterns using AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store.
• After the initial phase, backend services for program administration workflows and related capabilities.

• Expert use of AI‑assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalent).
• Infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK, or equivalent).
• Serverless framework experience (SST, Serverless Framework, or equivalent).
• AWS:
  Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, Cloud Watch, IAM, VPC, Private Link.
• CI/CD pipeline design and optimization (Git Hub Actions, build caching, parallelization).
• Type Script / Node.js (for serverless function development).

• Observability tooling (structured logging with Pino, distributed tracing).
