Platform engineer at Egmont

Join Egmont's team and help us further develop our multi-cloud platform and expand our foundation of methods and standards for implementing cloud services for the business.

Are you ready to join Egmont's cloud journey as a key player, where new solutions are built using cloud-native architecture on hyperscalers like Azure, AWS or GCP? We have recently migrated to modern cloud architecture and are now undergoing an exciting transformation. At the same time, we are working on developing automation tools and processes that will optimize daily operations and automated deployment of our infrastructure.

As part of our cloud-native strategy, we are embracing GitOps principles, which involve using version control systems like Git to manage the entire lifecycle of infrastructure and applications, including configuration and deployment. We believe that automation and infrastructure-as-code are critical components of modern cloud architecture, and we are looking for individuals who share our passion for innovation and continuous improvement. If you are ready to take your skills to the next level, we invite you to join us on our cloud journey at Egmont.

In our team, we act as advisors to the many companies under the Egmont umbrella, while also helping to implement and design solutions for the various cases they need assistance with. This means you will have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people and help bring everything together.

We adhere to the principle of "you build it, you run it" for all our tools and solutions. So, if we build something, we maintain and take responsibility for it.
