Senior Platform Engineer

Location: Gothenburg, Stockholm or Malmö. Employment: Full-time · Permanent position (direct employment with our client)

About the role

On behalf of our client — a fast-growing, highly regarded global product company — we're recruiting a Senior Platform Engineer for a permanent role.

You'll evolve and scale the cloud infrastructure, deployment platform and engineering tooling that lets product teams ship software quickly, safely and reliably. Working closely with the engineering teams, you'll build and maintain a modern, cloud-native platform and improve everyday developer experience through automation and self-service.

As the company expands into new markets and scales globally, you'll help shape where the platform goes next — and you'll mentor and grow alongside a supportive, high-trust team.

If you care about reliable platforms, thoughtful automation and lifting the people around you, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do

• Design, build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS

• Manage and improve the Kubernetes platform and containerized workloads

• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Pulumi

• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Argo CD

• Improve deployment reliability through GitOps practices

• Monitor system health, application performance and reliability using Sentry and other observability tools

• Drive automation across infrastructure provisioning, deployments and operational processes

• Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve developer productivity and release confidence

• Identify operational bottlenecks and remove repetitive manual work through automation

• Help define platform architecture and engineering best practices

• Take part in incident management, root-cause analysis and continuous improvement

• Share knowledge and mentor colleagues in cloud, DevOps and infrastructure engineering

What you bring (key skills)

• Extensive experience managing cloud infrastructure on AWS

• Strong experience with Kubernetes in production environments

• Solid experience with Docker and containerized applications

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Pulumi (or a similar tool such as Terraform)

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins

• Experience implementing GitOps workflows with Argo CD

• Experience with observability platforms, including the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) and Sentry for logging, monitoring and incident investigation

• Experience designing secure, scalable and highly available cloud architectures

• Good understanding of Linux, networking and cloud security concepts

• Experience working in Agile teams using Kanban and/or Scrum

• Experience managing and operating production databases — PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL, Elasticsearch and Sphinx — with a focus on performance, reliability and scalability

• Experience supporting development teams through platform engineering and DevOps best practices

• Strong scripting skills (Bash, PowerShell or Python) are a strong plus

Nice to have

• Experience with multi-environment Kubernetes clusters

• Experience with cost optimization in AWS

• Familiarity with security scanning and policy enforcement

• Experience building internal developer platforms

• Experience with disaster recovery and backup strategies

Language

• English — required (the working language)

• Swedish — a plus

Who you are

• You enjoy building reliable platforms that empower development teams

• You like automating whatever can be automated

• You're curious about new cloud technologies and continuously improving how you work

• You're comfortable working across infrastructure, networking and software development

• You enjoy solving difficult operational and scalability challenges

• You're a collaborative teammate who values knowledge sharing and continuous learning, and you're happy working with a global team

What we offer

• The chance to be a key contributor in the technology story of a rapidly growing, highly regarded global company

• A high degree of freedom and real space to grow, both professionally and personally

• A close, supportive team of people who push each other to do their best work

• Flexibility through hybrid or remote work

• A centrally located office in Gothenburg, Stockholm or Malmö, with great coffee and a welcoming atmosphere

• A permanent role with our client from day one, with long-term stability and room to build your career

How to apply

Apply through Teamtailor with your CV or LinkedIn profile — no cover letter needed. If you have questions before applying, you're warmly welcome to reach out to us at Datarista.

Diversity and our approach to selection

Datarista is a SheTech Network Company, and we recruit using our Bias-Free Hiring™ Framework. Every candidate is assessed solely on skills and experience against the requirements of the role — our process is 100% competence-based and open to applicants of all genders and backgrounds.

Tech is still far from gender-balanced, and we're actively working to change that. We'd especially love to see applications from women and non-binary people — and we welcome every qualified candidate, whoever you are.

One more thing: research consistently shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often hold back from applying unless they tick every single box. If you bring strong hands-on platform engineering experience and this role excites you, we genuinely encourage you to apply — even if your background doesn't line up with absolutely everything on the list.
