What you will do 

For our Connect Business Unit we are looking for a Platform Engineer who combines a development background with operational awareness, who understands system architecture and knows how to support platforms that other teams build on top of.

This isn’t a support role. This is a builder role—for people who want to shape how software is built and run at scale. You’ll be solving real-world problems, working on critical infrastructure, and directly contributing to the speed and quality of delivery across the organization.

As we expand globally, we’re building scalable solutions on our private cloud using Kubernetes — including software-defined storage, streaming services, and cloud-native databases.

Why You'll Love Working with Us: 

• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: We are a small, close-knit team that excels in cross-discipline collaboration, ensuring diverse perspectives are heard and valued. 

• Innovation at its Core: Work with the latest technologies and tools to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI-driven personalization. 

• Ambitious and Goal-Oriented: We set and achieve ambitious targets, fostering a sense of accomplishment and growth. 

• Empowered Autonomy: Enjoy the freedom to take initiative and make impactful decisions, while being supported by an engaged and resourceful team. 

Feel connected to our CM.com shared values: 

• Drive & Lead: We encourage the entrepreneurial spirit and are self-managed to be able to quickly grasp opportunities.  

• Grow & Learn: We keep evolving our innovation capabilities and help you to get the best out of yourself, both professionally and personally. 

• Together & Care: We love working together. We stimulate collaboration with utmost respect for each other regardless of gender, age, background, or beliefs.  

• Speed & Change: We are an agile and dynamic organization, that keeps adapting and knows how to respond to opportunity or change 

Additionally, you ideally have: 

• Platform Ownership & Builder’s Mindset Experience designing and maintaining platforms as internal products. Able to improve delivery speed and reliability by focusing on developer experience, performance, and scalability.

• Operational Expertise Hands-on work with Kubernetes, Linux/Windows environments, monitoring, networking, and infrastructure reliability.

• Infrastructure & Tools Familiarity with PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, VPNs, and large-scale storage is a bonus, as is experience with metrics, tracing, logging, and observability stacks.

• Collaboration & Support Able to support development teams, help with onboarding to the platform, and guide architectural decisions in fast-moving environments.

• Growth & Synergy Willing to learn and evolve. Ready to work closely with IAAS, PAAS, and other business units to create shared solutions and avoid duplication.

• Communication & Location. We are an international and multicultural company so you must be fluent in English. Live in a commuting distance to Breda Office.
