The Team: Platform Services At the heart of this technology is the Platform Services team, a highly technical group responsible for maintaining and evolving the foundational aspects of the Etraveli Group platform. Our mission is to ensure we have a robust environment to build, deliver, and run services—from the very first lines of code in a project to maintainable services running in production, whether in AWS or our own datacenters. We manage our CI/CD setup and cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), providing project templates and architectural support to development teams and strategically important projects. Today, the team consists of a collaborative mix of cloud infrastructure specialists and tech-focused senior developers. The Role As we grow and expand our support for new teams and projects, we are looking for a Senior Engineer or Hands-on Architect to strengthen our ranks. While the team handles infrastructure, your focus will be on the software side of building services: code, design, system architecture, and CI/CD. In this role, you will certainly draw boxes and arrows on whiteboards to map out designs, but more importantly, you will write and update the code within our templates and CI/CD pipelines to support our developers. You will be a key voice in discussions—both within the team and across the organization—on how to best design and solve complex technical tasks. Requirements To be a good fit for this role, we believe you possess the following qualifications: Experience: At least 10 years as a software developer and/or architect (likely more). Java Expertise: Extensive experience as a Java backend developer, very comfortable in a senior capacity. Polyglot Mindset: Experience with programming languages beyond just Java. Mentorship: You enjoy supporting other developers and can discuss complex software solutions with both teams and stakeholders. CI/CD & Kubernetes: At least some experience with CI/CD (and a willingness to become an expert) and a strong understanding of Kubernetes—including the ability to write and troubleshoot manifest files independently. Broad Technical Interest: An interest in the underlying infrastructure required to run services, as well as a passion for service architecture and IaC (without being "married" to a single tool). Tech Stack Knowledge: Meaningful experience in several of the following: AWS, Linux, shell scripting, Git, Jenkins, Groovy, Typescript, React, Python, MySQL, Couchbase, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, Gradle, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenSearch, Prometheus, Grafana, observability, security, networking, and testing. Communication: Comfortable speaking and writing in English.
