Do you want to work at the heart of the energy transition? 32 – 40 hours | Amersfoort / Hybrid | Energy Market | Start ASAP | Six months with option to extend | At EDSN, you contribute to the sustainability of the Netherlands. Every day. Together with our partners in the energy sector. Cloud technology forms an increasingly important foundation for our services. Our DevOps teams must be able to develop and run applications quickly, securely, and independently. As a Senior Platform Engineer within team CRT, you play an important role in this. Be the indispensable link in the energy market Work full of energy Team CRT (Container Runtime) is part of the IT Foundation value stream and is responsible for the container platform on which the applications of our DevOps teams run. We develop and manage a scalable, secure, and reliable Kubernetes platform within AWS and make it available as much as possible via self-service. An important principle within IT Foundation is that teams can use standardized building blocks without being constantly dependent on the platform team. Automation, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, security-by-design, and good developer experience are therefore central. CRT works intensively with other platform teams and with the DevOps teams that use the platform. This means that in addition to in-depth technical knowledge, we also attach great importance to collaboration, communication, and the ability to advise other engineers. In addition to CRT, Atlas, WatchDog, WhoAmI, and Fundamentum are part of IT Foundation. Together, the various teams provide the technical foundations and platform services on which the EDSN applications are developed and executed. A core aspect within IT Foundation is providing building blocks that contribute to business agility and a short time-to-market. We develop solutions iteratively, with standardization, automation, and self-service as important principles. We are a team of driven specialists with extensive knowledge of cloud and container technology; work intensively with other platform and DevOps teams; take responsibility for the platform from development to production; automate as much as possible and work from an everything-as-code mindset; work according to SAFe and DevOps principles; regularly collaborate at the office in Amersfoort and also work hybrid. This is what you will do Develop and improve the Kubernetes platform You will develop, manage, and optimize the Kubernetes platform on which the workloads of our DevOps teams run. You will focus on scalability, availability, security, and performance, among other things. Further develop AWS EKS You will work on the further development and integration of Amazon EKS within EDSN's AWS cloud platform. You will contribute to architectural choices, cluster setup, lifecycle management, and how EKS can be optimally used for various workloads. Infrastructure as Code and automation You will automate the provisioning and configuration of platform components using Terraform, Helm, and scripting, among others. You will structurally reduce manual tasks by automating processes and platform functionality. Self-service for DevOps teams You will develop reusable and standardized building blocks that allow DevOps teams to use the container platform as independently as possible. You will continuously seek the right balance between freedom for teams and clear platform standards and guardrails. GitOps and deployment You will work according to GitOps principles and ensure that deployments are reproducible, controllable, and as automated as possible. You will work with GitLab, ArgoCD, and Helm, among others. Operational excellence Together with your colleagues, you will ensure a stable and reliable platform. You will analyze incidents and structural problems and translate them into improvements in architecture, automation, and platform services. The principle is that good development work ultimately leads to as little manual management as possible. Advising and supporting DevOps teams You will support DevOps teams with complex Kubernetes and cloud-native issues and help them to deploy workloads onto the platform in a secure, scalable, and standardized manner. Providing technical direction As a Senior Platform Engineer, you look beyond your own activities. You can break down complex technical issues into clear choices, dare to stand at a whiteboard, and can guide engineers, architects, and other stakeholders in the technical direction. Driven by making an impact This energizes you You are an experienced Platform Engineer with a strong background in Kubernetes and cloud platforms. You are hands-on and take responsibility for what you build. At the same time, you can rise above the technology and think about the further development of the platform. You not only know how something can be technically realized but can also explain why certain choices are necessary. You can spar about this at an equal level with other engineers and architects. You are someone who takes initiative, drives technical improvements, and helps colleagues to arrive at better solutions together. You combine in-depth technical expertise with pragmatism and a strong DevOps mentality.
