[Hiring] Platform Engineer @Finmid

Role Description

We're looking for a Platform Engineer who wants to own the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. You'll build and maintain the systems our engineering teams rely on every day — CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, data tooling, AI integrations, and developer experience as a whole. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll design systems from scratch, introduce new tools, and have a direct say in how we build software.

• Architect and manage our cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes.
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and internal platforms.
• Evaluate, integrate, and roll out new tools and services across the company.
• Partner with product and business teams to remove bottlenecks and ship faster.
• Own production systems end-to-end — from design decisions to incident response.
• Raise the bar on security, observability, and engineering standards.

Qualifications

• We care far more about how you think than what you already know. Languages and tools can be learned — curiosity and drive can't.
• You're a pragmatist.
• You find the simplest solution that actually works, not the most impressive one.
• You're comfortable with infrastructure.
• You have hands-on experience with containers, orchestration, and cloud platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, or similar).
• You write clean, maintainable code.
• We mostly work in Kotlin and TypeScript, but we won't filter you out over a language.
• You communicate well.
• You can explain technical decisions to non-technical people and collaborate across teams without friction.
• You want to grow.
• You're not looking for a role where you do the same thing every day. You want to stretch.

Requirements

• Experience with financial services, payments, or regulated environments.
• Familiarity with managing micro-services running on JVM runtime.
• A track record of driving projects from idea to production.
• Experience working in distributed / remote teams.

Benefits

• We see ourselves as “distributed first” but also have a beautiful office in Berlin where you can work.
• We are flexible and cover whatever you need to be as productive as possible (e.g., MacOS, IntelliJ IDEA, Claude Code).
• Home office stipend.
• 30 days’ of time off.
• Meaningful equity.
• Open-minded and transparent culture that includes regular get-together meetings (e.g., All Hands, Brown Bag Lunch, Offsites).
