Role Summary We are looking for a hands-on Senior AWS Platform Engineer to own and evolve the cloud platform used by our engineering teams in Lund. This role is focused on shared platform ownership rather than ownership of a single backend module. You will work closely with module owners to make it easier, safer, and faster to build, deploy, monitor, and operate production systems on AWS, including event-driven backend services. We currently use Kubernetes and GitOps-based deployment workflows and are migrating toward a more managed AWS platform. Our backend architecture is event-driven, with IoT-like flows built around events, queues, message brokers, and AWS services such as EventBridge. You will help shape the transition by improving deployment pipelines, infrastructure patterns, managed AWS services, observability, database operations, and backend-facing automation. This is an individual contributor role for someone who combines deep AWS and DevOps experience with strong practical Python skills. What you will do You will own and improve the shared AWS platform capabilities that our backend teams and event-driven services rely on. Your responsibilities will include: • Designing, building, and operating AWS infrastructure used by production backend services. • Driving the migration from existing Kubernetes and GitOps workflows toward managed AWS patterns. • Improving CI/CD, deployment automation, release safety, and rollback workflows. • Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code, preferably using Terraform and/or AWS-native tooling. • Supporting secure and reliable use of AWS services such as IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudWatch, EventBridge, SQS/SNS, SSM/Parameter Store, Secrets Manager, Lambda, ECS/EKS, ElastiCache/Redis, and related services. • Supporting event-driven architecture patterns, including events, queues, pub/sub, message brokers, caching/Redis, and asynchronous service integration. • Helping backend module owners with platform-related design decisions, event boundaries, production readiness, debugging, and operational improvements. • Supporting managed database operations on AWS, including monitoring, access patterns, backups, restore readiness, performance, and migration support. • Writing Python tooling, automation, and backend/platform code where it improves developer productivity, event-driven integrations, or operational quality. • Improving observability, logging, metrics, alerting, and incident response practices, including visibility into asynchronous event flows, queues, failed messages, and cache behavior. • Identifying and reducing manual, repetitive, or error-prone DevOps work through automation and AI-assisted workflows. • Pushing back on fragile technical solutions and helping teams choose pragmatic, reliable alternatives. This is not a ticket-based operations role. We are looking for someone who takes responsibility for platform outcomes and continuously improves the systems that other engineers depend on. What we are looking for You should already be comfortable working with production systems and taking ownership of cloud infrastructure, deployment workflows, and operational quality. Must-have experience: • Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments. • Deep understanding of DevOps, platform engineering, CI/CD, event-driven systems, and infrastructure automation. • Experience with Kubernetes and GitOps-based deployment workflows. • Experience with event-driven or asynchronous backend systems using events, queues, pub/sub, message brokers, EventBridge, SQS/SNS, Redis/ElastiCache, or similar technologies. • Experience migrating or modernizing infrastructure toward managed AWS services. • Strong practical Python experience, either in backend development, event consumers/workers, platform tooling, automation, or internal developer tools. • Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform. • Good understanding of IAM, networking, secrets and configuration management, monitoring, caching, and secure access patterns. • Experience supporting production systems through incidents, debugging, logs, metrics, retries, queue behavior, and operational improvements. • Ability to work closely with backend engineers and help them make better platform and deployment decisions. Important profile traits • Treats platform engineering as a product for developers. • Cares about production behavior, not only infrastructure correctness. • Has strong judgment around reliability, security, cost, and developer experience. • Can make local technical decisions independently. • Is pragmatic and avoids over-engineering. • Is comfortable being accountable for shared platform quality. • Can explain trade-offs clearly to backend engineers and technical leads. • Has embraced AI-assisted development and agentic workflows as practical engineering tools, while still applying strong review, testing, and security discipline. AI-assisted engineering DevOps work includes command-, configuration-, and settings-heavy tasks. We expect this person to be comfortable using modern AI-assisted development tools to reduce manual work, improve speed, and increase quality. This could include using AI tools such as Claude Code to help draft or review Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines, AWS configuration, Python tooling, runbooks, debugging workflows, and documentation. We do not mean blindly trusting generated output. We are looking for someone who knows how to use AI tools responsibly: with review, tests, least-privilege access, clear auditability, and good engineering judgment. Nice to have • Experience with EKS, ECS, Lambda, EventBridge, SQS/SNS, API Gateway, ElastiCache/Redis, MSK/Kafka, or other AWS-native and event-driven runtime patterns. • Experience with RDS operations, database migrations, PostgreSQL, or performance tuning. • Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, or similar observability tooling. • Experience with AWS cost optimization / FinOps. • Experience with platform self-service, golden paths, internal developer platforms, or paved-road engineering. • Experience in IoT-like event-driven systems, optimization, control systems, or data-intensive backend systems. • AWS certifications or equivalent demonstrated experience.

Having reached profitability in our core market, we’re now scaling globally, with a strong focus on the US. It’s still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us! This position is remote-friendly (France and Spain). 📱OUR ENGINEERING TEAM Our Engineering team excels at solving cutting-edge technical challenges with elegant solutions. With a strong focus on product innovation and design, they are shaping the future of the shopping experience. Their ambition is to have a positive impact on the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of users around the world. Software Engineers in the Engineering team work hand-in-hand with the Product team, from exploration, design, and roadmap prioritization to implementation, and deployment in production. At Joko, we have firsthand experience that teams with engineers who possess a diverse range of skills, and where engineering and product collaborate closely, are able to deliver a truly delightful and innovative user experience. The Engineering team is currently growing fast to continuously innovate on all parts of our product and tech stack and to empower the revolution of the way people shop online. 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL DO At Joko, we’re entering a new stage of scale: over half a million active daily users, and zero-downtime expectations. As our Platform Engineer, you’ll shape and lead our platform efforts. You’ll be the first senior engineer focused on these topics, building on work currently spread across the team and turning it into a clear, reliable, high-leverage platform that helps everyone ship faster and safer. * Infrastructure & reliability: Own our production infrastructure end-to-end: resilience, capacity, and cost. You'll make our systems more robust as we grow, simplify where it makes sense, and turn infrastructure efficiency into a real business lever — not just an engineering concern. * Observability & incident response: Build the visibility layer that lets us catch problems before users do. You'll centralize logs and alerts across our tools, define what "healthy" looks like, and design an on-call experience that's sustainable — clear signals, fast response, no noise. * Security & access control: Raise the security bar in a way that scales with the team. From access management and secrets handling to compliance work and release hardening — you'll make security a natural part of how we ship, not a checkpoint at the end. * Developer experience & release quality: Treat engineering workflows as a product. You'll improve how we build, test, and release — making the right way the easy way, and giving teams the confidence that what they ship is solid before it reaches users. * AI-powered internal tooling: Help shape how we use AI internally: automation, agents, and tooling that multiply the execution capacity of every team. You'll contribute to a real shift in how we work — not by replacing engineers, but by removing the friction that slows them down. * Technical leadership: Define the platform roadmap, align stakeholders, and lead cross-team initiatives end-to-end. Bring structure and mentorship so platform practices become shared — not heroic individual efforts. 👀 WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Experience: 5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent on platform, infrastructure, or reliability at scale. You've operated at a senior or staff level and you're ready to be the first dedicated owner of these topics. * Production reliability & scale: Strong track record operating and evolving production systems (observability, incident response, scalability, reliability patterns) in environments with real traffic and high expectations. * DevOps & automation mindset: You consistently improve how engineers ship—CI/CD, releases, automation, tooling—and you care about fast feedback loops and day-to-day developer productivity. * Strong software engineering foundations: You are a strong engineer first — you write clean, testable, maintainable code and bring that rigor to platform work. You're comfortable rolling up your sleeves and contributing directly to the codebase when needed, and you see that as a natural part of the job. * Cost/performance tradeoffs: You're comfortable making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance reliability, latency, and cloud costs, with a clear focus on impact. * Security fundamentals: You have solid infrastructure security basics (permissions/IAM, secrets, least privilege, hardening). You don't need to be a full-time security specialist, but you know how to raise the baseline. * Cloud & modern infrastructure: Experience with AWS (we run a server-less setup) or equivalent; familiarity with IaC and modern deployment patterns is a strong plus. * Product-minded: Strong sensitivity to user experience, performance metrics, and real-world usage at scale. * Problem solver: Comfortable working in complex, evolving codebases, with the patience and pragmatism to improve them incrementally. * Collaboration & influence: You communicate clearly, raise the bar through reviews and mentorship, and partner well with engineers and product stakeholders. * Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken. French is not required. 💎 OUR PERKS (Some of the benefits listed below are available to full-time positions only) At Joko, we believe that flexibility and trust are essential. Our work environment reflects this through: * Flexible remote : If you live in Paris, you can choose to work from our office or from home with no constraints. If you live elsewhere, we can provide access to a coworking space and a coworking budget. * Work from anywhere : Want to spend a month in Italy while working? You can work from most countries in the world for up to 3 months per year.
