Jobs in Berlin, Germany

About the role

As a Senior Platform Engineer , you will join our core Platform team that designs, builds, and maintains the infrastructure powering Moss. You will work on critical systems that must be updated without downtime , ensuring our services remain secure, scalable, and resilient. You’ll collaborate closely with product, data, and security teams, balancing planned initiatives with incident response, cloud engineering, and regular maintenance.

What you'll bring

• 7+ years total experience with at least 4+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles in a cloud-native environment.
• Deep Kubernetes expertise - scheduling internals, autoscaling (HPA/VPA/KEDA), pod lifecycle, network policies, PodDisruptionBudgets, and multi-zone topology.
• Not just operational familiarity, you understand what breaks and why.
• Strong grasp of microservices operational challenges at scale - service mesh, inter-service resilience patterns, connection pool management, graceful shutdown, and database migration safety in a continuous deployment model.
• Solid CI/CD experience - designing pipelines for 100+ services, immutable artefact management, Workload Identity Federation, and automated rollback.
• Hands-on observability experience - building platforms covering metrics, logs, and distributed traces including across async boundaries (e.g. Kafka).
• Able to connect instrumentation to incident workflow, not just tooling setup.
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code - Terraform and Helm as primary tools, with a strong IaC-first mindset.
• Programming proficiency in Golang and/or shell scripting for platform tooling
• Proven troubleshooting skills across distributed systems - latency contagion, cascading failures, connection exhaustion, and autoscaling lag under traffic spikes.
• Collaborative, low-ego working style - comfortable in a small, high-trust team where engineers raise PRs instead of tickets.
• GitHub Actions experience is a plus.
