Senior Platform Engineer role in Copenhagen
Team context: The Container Platform team owns and operates the internal Kubernetes platform: multi-cluster EKS and OpenShift, with Talos evaluation/adoption ongoing. The team builds the tooling, supply chain and developer-facing services around these clusters rather than just running them, so this is a software engineering role applied to platform infrastructure, not a pure operations/SRE role.
Must have
- 5+ years hands-on Kubernetes in production, including cluster lifecycle (upgrades, node pools, networking, storage, RBAC), not only deploying workloads onto it.
- Deep EKS experience: IAM/IRSA, VPC networking, add-on management, autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler), cost and capacity management.
- OpenShift experience: operators, OLM, cluster upgrades, OpenShift-specific networking and security model.
- GitOps as a working style: ArgoCD or Flux, Helm and/or Kustomize, infrastructure as code with Terraform.
- Software engineering fundamentals: writes and maintains code with tests, reviews, CI/CD, versioning. Can build internal tooling and controllers, not only glue scripts.
- Container supply chain: image building, registries, signing/scanning, admission policy (Kyverno/OPA or similar).
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry or equivalent; comfortable debugging cluster and workload issues from metrics and traces.
- Able to work autonomously in an enterprise environment with change processes, security requirements and multiple stakeholder teams.
Strong preference
- Golang: has written Kubernetes controllers/operators, CLIs or platform services in Go.
- Talos Linux: has run or evaluated it in a real environment.
- AI-assisted engineering: uses tools like Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot as a normal part of the workflow for code, IaC, docs and debugging, and can judge when the output is wrong.
- AWS certification (Solutions Architect Professional or equivalent).
- Experience in a platform team serving many internal development teams (developer experience, self-service, documentation).
