About the Role
Platform Engineering is the backbone of Trade Republic's engineering velocity. Our mission is to build scalable platforms for a Europe-scale bank, serving internal engineers and building in-house control planes for managing the bank's infrastructure. We are a ~50-person Platform team focused on enabling product engineers to move fast and operate autonomously by default. We build self-service platforms, golden paths, and opinionated tooling so that over 400 engineers can ship with confidence. From Kubernetes fleet management and CI/CD to an internal Developer Hub built on Backstage, our work underpins every trade, savings plan, and card payment that flows through the platform.
Responsibilities
- Implement and improve the cluster topology and isolation model to meet availability targets.
- Build and maintain the multi-account network for the Kubernetes fleet.
- Build automation for self-healing cluster and addon management workflows.
- Implement resource policies, cluster profiles, and workload isolation boundaries.
- Participate in the on-call rotation and take operational ownership of systems.
- Contribute technical input to the Kubernetes platform's evolution and manage features from kickoff to delivery.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related SRE/systems discipline.
- Deep, hands-on Kubernetes expertise: cluster architecture, scaling, security, and HA design in production environments.
- Strong networking fundamentals: CNI, ingress, DNS, service mesh, and cross-region/cross-cloud connectivity.
- Experience operating multi-region and/or multi-cloud environments in production.
- Experience automating the cluster lifecycle - provisioning, upgrades, policy, and governance - with self-service enablement for developers.
- Solid backend engineering background - Go is preferred but any strong language is welcome.
- A pragmatic approach to applying infrastructure best practices that engineering teams adopt.
- Ability to contribute to architectural decisions and clearly communicate trade-offs.
