[Hiring] Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer @Berlitz

Role Description

We're building a new global Berlitz, and this is your opportunity to help shape it. Nearly 150 years of expertise, meeting the ambition and technology to power a new era of learning.

If you are the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, isn’t afraid of a blank page, and is excited to help shape the future of a global company undergoing a significant transformation, you might belong at Berlitz!

We are seeking a Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer to help design and scale our next-generation cloud infrastructure and software delivery ecosystem. In this role, you will take ownership of core areas of our internal engineering platform, partnering closely with the wider engineering team. While our development teams focus entirely on building high-performance services, your mission is to design the "paved road" that allows them to deploy code to production safely, rapidly, and autonomously.

You will work cross-functionally with backend and product teams—providing CI/CD, architectural guidance, and support on shared projects—while enjoying high autonomy and low bureaucratic friction. Best of all, you will work primarily on greenfield services, building modern, clean infrastructure from scratch with minimal legacy debt.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) with high production autonomy.
• Deep production-level knowledge of AWS core services (VPC, IAM, Networking, ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda) and modern cloud design patterns.
• Deep understanding of Docker and container runtimes, with strong hands-on experience in AWS ECS (Fargate) and working knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS) for specialized use cases.
• Advanced, clean proficiency with Terraform for managing modular and scalable cloud architectures.
• High proficiency with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, and artifact management.
• Strong capability to write maintainable code or tooling in Go, Python, or advanced Bash.
• High self-motivation, excellent English communication skills, and a strong remote-first work ethic.

Requirements

• Architect, build, and operate secure, multi-account environments across AWS using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles.
• Design and optimize container orchestration layers, standardizing on AWS ECS (Fargate) as the primary platform for lean microservices.
• Build unified, reusable, and secure automated delivery workflows using GitHub Actions and modern deployment tooling.
• Serve as the dedicated platform champion, providing self-service infrastructure blueprints and automated guardrails.
• Establish robust telemetry, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch).
• Embed automated security checks, IAM least-privilege models, and secure secrets management directly into the core platform layer.

Benefits

• AI-Native by Default: We build with Claude - code generation, API design, code reviews, architectural documentation, and debugging.
• Pure Greenfield: No legacy code, no technical debt - you own the design of core services and domains for our global EdTech platform.
• Infrastructure Support: A dedicated Platform Engineering team handles provisioning and CI/CD so you can build on AWS services directly.
