Do you enjoy solving problems by enabling others?

As a platform engineer, you don’t just build systems — you create the “paved roads” that developers can rely on. You design patterns, guardrails, and tools that help cross-functional teams move faster, safer, and with confidence.

At Helin, we build the platforms that power safety-critical decisions across energy, maritime, and offshore operations. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll help scale and secure the foundations that 100+ engineers rely on—so they can ship features confidently, with automation, observability, and reliability built in. Your work directly enables smarter, safer, and more sustainable industrial systems.

• Accelerate developer productivity by building paved roads for CI/CD, testing, and deployment
• Shape a reliability-first culture by embedding observability and security across our stack
• Automate infrastructure using Terraform, BICEP, Ansible, and container orchestration to reduce toil
• Enable scale by improving workflows across 200+ services and real-time data pipelines

• Strongsoftware engineering foundation that lets you bridge development and infrastructure
• Your hands-on IaC experience (Terraform, Ansible, etc.) that enables secure, scalable systems
• Your ability to design and operate CI/CD pipelines that integrate security and performance by default
• Your familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) that help us measure what matters
• Your drive to eliminate manual work, simplify complexity, and empower fellow engineers
• Your understanding of cloud and networking fundamentals in hybrid environments
• Your commitment to security by design, using patterns like OAuth 2.0 and zero trust
• Experience with developer enablement platforms or internal tooling

• Experience with SRE, SecOps, or cybersecurity practices
• Knowledge of Cloudflare tunnels or secure edge networking
• Interest in edge computing or OTA update systems
• Familiarity with Kubernetes service meshes or GitOps models

Near term:

• Pair with peers to understand existing CI/CD and observability stack
• Co-design automation improvements and customer onboarding experience, processes or tools
• Deploy your first upgrades to shared infrastructure with the team
• Mentor engineers on infrastructure best practices

Long term:

• Drive our platform roadmap alongside product and data teams
• Influence architectural decisions at scale
• Grow into a Staff-level or Principal Engineer trajectory, if desired
• Lead the design of new reliability patterns across critical services
• Set standards for how we scale CI/CD and security at Helin

• Location: Hybrid 3 days/week in our Rijswijk office
• Your journey: Intro call → Technical interview with the team → Culture interview with management → Offer
• Timeline: We aim to extend an offer within 5 working days after your final interview
• Next step: Apply now—or reach out if you’re curious but unsure. We grow fast and puzzles await.

• Impact what matters: Help shape real-time systems that keep people and operations safe
• Invest in growth: €3,000 annual development budget and Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)
• Live our values: Trust in progress, kind and driven teamwork, and courage to innovate
• Join a global team: 70+ specialists from 30+ nationalities with a hybrid-first culture
• Build better together: No heroics, no 24/7 firefighting—just automation, enablement, and shared success.
