Catawiki is a curated marketplace for special objects, auctioning over 100,000 unique items weekly and having sold 25+ million objects globally. The Platform Horizontal team manages cloud infrastructure, reliability, developer experience, security, and quality across the organization.
As a Platform Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of development, infrastructure, and operations to shape and execute the long-term platform vision. You'll empower Catawiki engineering teams to deliver value with speed, reliability, and security.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building a self-service developer platform that abstracts complexity and provides teams with tools to deploy, monitor, and optimize applications
- Orchestrating cloud-native infrastructure, managing Kubernetes clusters and cloud resources with focus on performance, scalability, and cost efficiency through FinOps practices
- Boosting developer productivity by building and enhancing CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and reusable templates
- Driving reliability and scalability through fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and scaling practices
- Improving platform operations and enhancing observability stacks to monitor platform health and resolve incidents proactively
- Collaborating with product teams to understand needs, build impactful solutions, and champion cloud-native best practices
You should bring at least 5 years of production experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure). You'll need hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible, observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry, and CI/CD pipeline automation. Strong ownership, collaborative approach, and commitment to continuous learning in cloud-native technologies are essential. You measure what matters, introduce changes gradually, treat failure as learning, and use automation to reduce toil.
