At Gomibo dozens of engineers build the services that power our platform across Europe. As a Platform Engineer those engineers are your users.
Youll write production code while working with Kubernetes infrastructure and GitOps to build and improve the platform they rely on.
Languages: PHP TypeScript
Platform: Kubernetes Docker Helm Flux
CI/CD & GitOps: GitLab CI/CD Flux
Observability: Prometheus Grafana Loki
Workflow: Agile code reviews short iterations open feedback culture
Platform Engineering works closely with Engineering teams across Gomibo. We want to understand where engineers lose time or run into unnecessary complexity and build solutions that make the right thing easy to do. That means we dont just maintain infrastructure. We treat our platform as a product for our fellow engineers.
Youll start with well-scoped projects and gradually take ownership of larger parts of our platform. Experienced engineers are there to help you learn the systems and technologies you havent worked with before.
Youll join the Platform Engineering team where we build and maintain the software tooling and Kubernetes configuration that make it easier for development teams to build and run their services. Instead of working primarily on customer-facing features youll improve the platform behind them: from PHP applications that manage configuration and access to Kubernetes operators and tooling that let engineers safely self-serve the infrastructure they need.
Examples of what youll work on:
Build and maintain PHP applications that manage configuration and access
Develop self-service tooling that helps engineers configure and operate their applications
Maintain and improve Kubernetes configuration and operators
Automate recurring infrastructure tasks and improve the developer experience
Debug problems across application code and infrastructure
Review code and configuration and collaborate with engineers across teams
Are you joining our team Then well not only make sure you have a great job but also attractive employment benefits. Take a look at our full employment conditions here.
In addition to a good salary a favorable pension scheme and 25 vacation days per year (option to buy 5 more) you can also count on:
Terms of employment
Monthly vacation allowance so you dont have to wait for it.
Lots of discounts at local businesses.
Friends & Family vouchers.
Personal growth
Training programs one-on-one coaching and peer learning sessions.
The opportunity to take on more and more responsibility.
Culture & activities
Plenty of (optional) social activities such as board game and video game nights chess bouldering and Friday afternoon get-togethers.
Tools & hybrid working
A good laptop.
Flexible starting times (between 8:00 and 9:00).
Hybrid working: up to two days working from home.
You enjoy building software but youre also curious about the systems it runs on. Maybe youve already worked with Kubernetes experimented with your own cluster or built deployment tooling and found yourself wanting to understand more about the platform behind an application.
You dont need professional experience with every technology in our stack. Some hands-on experience with Kubernetes will give you a strong head start in this role. You should already be comfortable with its core concepts and interested in developing that knowledge much further. If you enjoy building software and are equally curious about the platform it runs on wed love to hear from you.
We expect:
Have experience building software in PHP or another object-oriented language through work or substantial projects
Understand software engineering fundamentals and care about clear maintainable code
Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes and understand its core concepts
Are comfortable with Git and the command line
Have familiarity with Linux containers and how applications are deployed
Are interested in developing deeper knowledge of Kubernetes and infrastructure engineering
Like automating repetitive work instead of doing the same thing manually
Enjoy understanding how systems fit together and arent afraid to investigate when something behaves unexpectedly
Communicate clearly and are comfortable asking questions when you dont know something
Experience with Helm CI/CD GitOps infrastructure-as-code or Kubernetes operators is a plus not a requirement.
