Description
Senior Azure Platform Engineer | Eindhoven | €120k OTE + Indefinite Contract | Build a self-service Azure platform for mission-critical workloads at one of the top 100 companies in the Netherlands | Azure, Python/GO, GitOps, Helm, CI/CD
How do you feel about working on the core, most vital infrastructure, that runs the most mission critical workloads in The Netherlands?
Our client is a mission-critical MSP that helps around 40 enterprise clients in the Netherlands design infrastructure that's air-gapped and runs their most critical workloads.
This is done through self-steering teams and close cooperation, using the latest best practices to ensure strict requirements are met.
If the platform goes down, vital parts of Dutch society go down — think energy supply, payment and ATM infrastructure, edge devices, fraud detection, and anti-money-laundering systems.
The core focus is the complete (re)design of cloud and cloud-native solutions, and migrations from old, legacy environments to new cloud-native infrastructure.
Beyond building cloud-native Azure solutions, the organization is also keen on open-source, private cloud.
It's about 500 FTE, 75% of whom are engineers.
Overall, you'll have the chance to make a real impact.
Your role:
As an Azure Platform Engineer, you'll start by working on a highly complex refactor of a 30-year-old ERP system.
In this role, you'll be responsible for the CI/CD architecture, designing Azure infrastructure, and automating all the processes.
A software engineering background is preferred, as you won't be responsible for the core infrastructure itself, but mainly for building self-service functionality within Azure.
You'll also advise the infrastructure team on (software) architecture matters, Platform Engineering best practices, and how to use IaC to roll out mostly Azure-native resources.
You'll work on this project together with your team and the client.
The application itself is a .NET application containing a lot of complex business logic — it's extremely mission-critical, and downtime would be severe.
You'll ensure SLO/SLA requirements are met and design watertight solutions with 99.9%+ availability.
The complete tech stack is yet to be defined.

Benefits: €80k–€110k base salary including 8% holiday allowance.
A €10k allowance for a car or OV-card, or can be cashed out on top of your salary.
25 days of PTO, 32–40 hours a week, indefinite contract, 2 days working from home.
