About the project

We are hiring on behalf of our client, a global leader in HR technology, delivering an end-to-end SaaS platform that supports the entire recruitment lifecycle. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, their solutions combine cloud technology, automation, and cutting-edge AI to help businesses hire smarter, work more efficiently, and deliver better talent experiences.

As a Software/Platform Engineer, you will join the Release Engineering and Platform team and help build the tooling, pipelines, and environments that take software from a developer’s machine into production. This is a hands-on engineering role combining software development with DevOps and platform engineering. You will build internal tools and automation, work with CI/CD, Kubernetes and GitOps, and eliminate manual processes across the software delivery lifecycle.

Key takeaways:

Stack: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Bash, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, ArgoCD, Ansible, AWS

Your responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain deployment and release pipelines that improve reliability and minimize manual intervention.
• Develop internal release and developer tooling to automate packaging, approvals, deployments and other release workflows.
• Build and maintain engineering tools using Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, combining backend automation with web-based interfaces where needed.
• Create reusable GitLab CI templates, Helm charts and ArgoCD applications that enable engineering teams to self-serve their build and deployment processes.
• Containerize and modernize QA and lower environments using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm and Ansible, improving consistency and production parity.
• Troubleshoot deployment, infrastructure and environment-specific issues in collaboration with software engineering, QA and database teams.
• Drive the adoption of GitOps and modern CI/CD practices across engineering teams.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate development, testing, investigation, refactoring and automation of repetitive operational work.
• Maintain technical documentation and runbooks and share knowledge across distributed engineering teams.

Our requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, release engineering or a similar hands-on technical role.
• Strong software development experience, with the ability to build maintainable internal tools and automation rather than focusing solely on infrastructure configuration.
• Hands-on coding experience with JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Strong experience with Python and Bash/shell scripting for building automation and engineering tooling.
• Practical experience designing, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, preferably using GitLab CI/CD and/or Jenkins.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes, including application containerization, deployments and environment management.
• Experience with GitOps and deployment/configuration tooling, such as ArgoCD, Helm and Ansible.
• Strong understanding of Git workflows, versioning practices, testing and modern software delivery principles.
• An automation-first mindset and the ability to identify repetitive or manual processes and replace them with reliable, scalable tooling.
• Openness to using modern AI development tools to improve coding, troubleshooting, testing and engineering productivity.

Optional

• Experience with AWS/RDS, Octopus Deploy, Nexus or Artifactory, Prometheus, Grafana, Rancher, ELK, SQL Server/DBA workflows, secure SDLC/SOC environments or legacy application migrations.
