Platform Engineer in Amsterdam

Every day, millions of people rely on WeTransfer to share their creative ideas. So, the work we do matters. Come and be a part of it.

The platform team is at the core of engineering at WeTransfer. You'll accelerate innovation by providing developers with the tools they need, while ensuring that the platform is reliable, performant, and secure. Together with the product teams you will work on processes and tools to support end-to-end ownership and self-service deployment of code and infrastructure.

Some projects you will be working on are:

• implementing a Go scaffolding tool to improve self-service of Terraform infrastructure
• researching the best approach to network policies in our Kubernetes clusters
  
• building dashboards to give product teams insight into their AWS spendings
• specifying SLIs/SLOs and improving monitoring/alerting for the logging stack
  

Above all else we value open communication and good teamwork to achieve a shared vision. We are looking for proactivity in spotting problem areas and proposing ideas for improvements. Ideally you have a couple of years hands-on experience with configuration management, infrastructure-as-code, continuous integration and deployment, and/or the design of systems for high availability and fault tolerance. 

Do you have a tendency to automate everything you get your hands on? 

Since 2009 WeTransfer has been helping people share their creative ideas. We believe creative thinking changes the way we see the world, and so we develop tools to get people into their flow – that strange and beautiful state where everything comes together and the best work happens.

Today, 42 million people in 195 countries share ideas using WeTransfer. We are constantly developing new products, as well as rethinking what our current platforms can be, and can do.

Our founders originally worked in design, media and marketing; today we’re lucky to be working with the most creative minds in branding, sales, design, support and engineering.

We believe a diverse company is a better company. Whatever your story, we want to hear from you. Whatever your background, we’ll help you do your best work. All employees get an annual €1,000 personal development budget to learn new skills, or improve existing ones.
