Catawiki is seeking a Platform Engineer to build and operate a self-service internal platform that improves developer experience, reliability, security, and scalability. The role centers on Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, and FinOps. The engineer will partner closely with product teams to reduce infrastructure complexity and enable teams to deploy, monitor, and operate applications independently. This hybrid role is based in Lisbon and requires at least two office days per week, while visa sponsorship and relocation may be available for selected candidates. Success requires strong production cloud-native experience, an automation-first mindset, and proactive ownership of platform resilience. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 4/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 4/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 4/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a senior-level platform role requiring at least five years of production experience across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, and reliability engineering.

I then create opinionated, reusable workflows or templates with clear documentation, measure adoption and lead-time improvements, and iterate based on feedback rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all platform. Describe your approach to operating Kubernetes clusters reliably at scale. I use infrastructure as code for repeatable provisioning, define clear upgrade and capacity-management processes, and establish baseline security, networking, and resource policies. I also build dashboards and alerts around cluster health, workloads, cost, and saturation, then regularly test recovery procedures. What would you include in an effective CI/CD and GitOps strategy? I would standardize build, test, security-scanning, artifact, and deployment stages while allowing product teams to configure application-specific needs. With GitOps, desired state is version controlled and reconciled automatically, making changes auditable, reversible, and easier to promote consistently across environments. How do you balance reliability investments with delivery speed and cloud cost? I prioritize using production signals such as incidents, error budgets, deployment lead time, utilization, and unit cost. I favor incremental changes with measurable outcomes, such as right-sizing workloads, automating manual recovery steps, or adding targeted resilience controls where the business impact justifies them. Tell us about a time you proactively resolved a platform issue before it became a major incident. I would explain the early warning signal identified through metrics or logs, the risk assessment and stakeholder communication, and the mitigation implemented. A strong example includes documenting the root cause, automating a preventive control, and validating that the relevant alerting and runbook coverage prevent recurrence.
