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 has evolved from cloud management into a broad function supporting reliability, developer experience, security, and quality across the engineering organization.
As a Platform Engineer, you will work at the intersection of development, infrastructure, and operations to shape and execute the long-term platform vision. Your mission is to empower Catawiki engineering teams to deliver value with speed, reliability, and security while abstracting infrastructure complexity.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building a self-service developer platform emphasizing developer experience, designing systems that abstract complexity and enable teams to deploy, monitor, and optimize applications
- Orchestrating cloud-native infrastructure by managing Kubernetes clusters and cloud resources with focus on performance, scalability, and cost efficiency through FinOps practices
- Boosting developer productivity through CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and reusable templates that accelerate development cycles
- Driving reliability and scalability by implementing fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and auto-scaling practices
- Improving platform operations and enhancing observability stacks to monitor health and resolve incidents proactively
- Collaborating with product teams to understand needs, build impactful solutions, and champion cloud-native best practices
You bring at least 5 years of production experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure). You have hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible, and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry. You measure what matters, introduce changes gradually, treat failure as learning, and use automation to reduce toil. You work effectively with developers and cross-functional teams, proactively address platform issues, and continuously develop your knowledge of cloud-native technologies.
