Description
Senior SRE / Platform Engineer | Zuid-Holland | Full-time | On-site
About the opportunity
Our client is a fast-growing, tech-driven scale-up with a large international customer base.
Engineering is rebuilding key parts of the platform and bringing machine learning and LLM-based features into production.
They're looking for a senior engineer to become the go-to person for how software runs in production: how stable it is, how safely it ships, and how efficiently it uses the cloud.
This goes well beyond keeping servers alive.
You'll set the standards the rest of engineering works by.
Your focus
Setting reliability targets for key services and making sure teams actually work with them
Making systems easier to understand under pressure: better metrics, logs, traces and alerting
Making releases boring: safer pipelines, progressive rollouts, fast recovery when something breaks
Running and scaling cloud workloads, including services that depend on third-party APIs
Keeping an eye on throughput, backlogs, API quotas and dependencies outside your control
Finding and cutting wasted cloud spend
Taking the lead during outages, then making sure the same failure doesn't happen twice
Planning for growth, failover and recovery
Replacing manual ops work with tooling so product teams can ship on their own
What you bring
Years of experience keeping busy, customer-facing systems healthy
Deep hands-on cloud experience, with infrastructure defined in code (Terraform or similar)
Solid grounding in Linux, containers, databases, caching, messaging and networking
Comfort with modern observability tooling
The ability to write real code, ideally Python or TypeScript
A preference for fixing root causes over applying patches
Willingness to own things end to end
Happy to work on-site
Nice to have: experience running LLM-based features, async job processing, or anything that has to live with external rate limits.
What's in it for you
Real ownership, a say in how the engineering organisation works, problems that matter to the business, and a team that makes decisions quickly.
