This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Platform Software Engineer based in Spain.

As a Senior Platform Software Engineer, you will take ownership of the cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and production reliability that underpin a growing software platform. You will play a key role in building scalable, resilient, and secure systems that enable teams to deliver product improvements quickly and confidently. Working in a collaborative, seed-stage environment, you will help shape architectural decisions and establish the foundations for long-term technical growth. You will work across AWS infrastructure, CI/CD automation, distributed systems, and PostgreSQL performance optimization. The role offers significant autonomy, hands-on technical challenges, and the opportunity to influence engineering practices from the ground up. You will also explore AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and streamline engineering workflows. This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on both platform reliability and the overall product experience.

Accountabilities:

- Design and manage cloud infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and operate AWS services across compute, messaging, storage, networking, and observability to support scalable and reliable applications.
- Develop deployment automation: Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines that enable safe, efficient, and automated releases from code commit to production.
- Own database reliability and performance: Manage production PostgreSQL environments, including configuration, connection pooling, performance tuning, database migrations,



and backup and recovery strategies.
- Strengthen distributed systems: Investigate complex production issues, identify root causes, and implement robust solutions that address ordering, retries, idempotency, partial failures, and message delivery guarantees.
- Balance speed and technical quality: Make pragmatic engineering decisions that support rapid product delivery while maintaining system stability, maintainability, and long-term scalability.
- Influence technical direction: Collaborate with product teams and stakeholders to define architectural approaches, prioritize infrastructure improvements, and align technical decisions with business needs.
- Integrate AI-assisted workflows: Evaluate and adopt AI-powered development tools where they can improve coding efficiency, testing, build processes, and deployment workflows without compromising engineering quality.

Requirements:

- Professional experience: Typically 5-10+ years of relevant software engineering or platform engineering experience, including hands-on ownership of production infrastructure and systems.
- Cloud infrastructure expertise: Strong practical knowledge of AWS services and experience designing, deploying, and operating cloud environments in production.
- Infrastructure as Code:



Proven experience with Terraform or comparable tools for automating and managing infrastructure consistently and reliably.
- Distributed systems knowledge: Solid understanding of distributed systems principles, including message ordering, idempotency, retries, at-least-once delivery, and recovery from partial failures.
- Database engineering: Demonstrated production experience with PostgreSQL, including connection pooling, schema migrations, query and performance optimization, and backup and restore procedures.
- Software development familiarity: Ability to read, understand, and navigate TypeScript and Node.js codebases, with familiarity with NestJS and modern backend application architectures.
- Reliability and troubleshooting: Experience operating high-traffic, highly available systems, combined with strong independent debugging, incident investigation, and problem-solving skills.
- AI development tools: Comfort using AI coding assistants and integrating AI-enabled tools into engineering workflows while applying sound technical judgment and maintaining high-quality standards.
- Collaboration and ownership: Strong communication skills, a proactive and independent working style, and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and other stakeholder teams.
- Product mindset: Genuine curiosity about the product and its users, with an interest in connecting infrastructure decisions to customer outcomes and business objectives.
- Location eligibility: Ability to work remotely from within Europe, with a location within three hours of Central European Time. Visa sponsorship is not available.
