What you will do
We are looking for a Senior Developer Platform Engineer to join our Onsite Digital Solutions team.

Who are you?
As a person you are curious and eager to understand and learn. You enjoy making things smarter and easier for people that receive your deliveries, automating things for them where possible. You are driven by reaching goals, and you are motivated by seeing challenge in front of you. You recognize that different problems require different tools to solve them and are eager to master new tools.
Most importantly, you are solution-oriented, meaning you focus on the entire delivery-chain. You share a belief that we are stronger together and understand and recognize importance of that for achieving remarkable results. In practice this means having an open mindset when discussing solutions with your peers in the team and in the organization, when you either challenge colleagues, or colleagues will challenge you to optimize deliveries.
As our primary task is to ensure that we can maintain a high level of insight to the health state of our production lines through monitoring, we will find it beneficial if you have prior experience with IT environment of production and warehouse facilities, be it infrastructure or applications. It would also be an advantage if you have a good technical understanding of infrastructure, as it always imposes constraints on what and how we monitor.
We believe you bring several of the following:
- Development background with proficiency in at least couple of programming languages (i.e.: C#, JavaScript, Go, Python, Java, or similar).
- Acquaintance with Azure DevOps, ability to create and leverage its pipelines and associated infrastructure.
- Experience building and working with containerized workloads.
- Scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, Power Automate or similar).
- Good knowledge of networking and IT infrastructure and associated protocols.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities.
- Strong communicator with the ability to influence and guide others.
- Familiarity with working in an agile team.
- Experience with Data analysis and reporting (Power BI)
- Experience contributing to architecture or solution design in cross-functional teams.
- Hands-on experience with Zabbix would be good but not a must.
