About The Position

At Gomibo, dozens of engineers build the services that power our platform across Europe. As a Platform Engineer, those engineers are your users. You’ll write production code while working with Kubernetes, infrastructure, and GitOps to build and improve the platform they rely on. Platform Engineering works closely with Engineering teams across Gomibo. We want to understand where engineers lose time or run into unnecessary complexity and build solutions that make the right thing easy to do. That means we don’t just maintain infrastructure. We treat our platform as a product for our fellow engineers.

Requirements

Enjoy building software, but also curious about the systems it runs on.
Have experience building software in PHP or another object-oriented language, through work or substantial projects
Understand software engineering fundamentals and care about clear, maintainable code
Have hands-on experience with Kubernetes and understand its core concepts
Are comfortable with Git and the command line
Have familiarity with Linux, containers, and how applications are deployed
Are interested in developing deeper knowledge of Kubernetes and infrastructure engineering
Like automating repetitive work instead of doing the same thing manually
Enjoy understanding how systems fit together and aren’t afraid to investigate when something behaves unexpectedly
Communicate clearly and are comfortable asking questions when you don’t know something

Nice To Haves

Experience with Helm, CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, or Kubernetes operators is a plus, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain PHP applications that manage configuration and access
Develop self-service tooling that helps engineers configure and operate their applications
Maintain and improve Kubernetes configuration and operators
Automate recurring infrastructure tasks and improve the developer experience
Debug problems across application code and infrastructure
Review code and configuration and collaborate with engineers across teams
