Cloud Platform Engineer - AWS & Kubernetes (m|w|d)

More than 20 engineering teams rely on idealo's cloud platform to build, deploy and operate their applications securely and efficiently.

About the role

As a Cloud Engineer, you will help develop and operate the AWS\-based platform that supports Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, observability and platform engineering across the company.

The role combines software engineering and hands\-on platform operations. In addition to day\-to\-day responsibilities, you will contribute to cross\-functional initiatives and collaborate with engineers from different domains on focused platform improvements.

Because the platform is business\-critical, participation in an on\-call rotation is part of the role.

When platform services run reliably and teams can deploy with confidence, you see the direct impact of your work.

Your Responsibilities

• Operate and further develop our EKS\-based Kubernetes platform in AWS, with a strong focus on security, resilience, scalability and cloud infrastructure.


• Design and implement cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform and Terragrunt.


• Collaborate closely with internal engineering teams to consult on cloud architecture, CI/CD, deployment workflows, observability and cost optimization.


• Support the future merge of Compute and Observability by helping shape reliable platform capabilities across infrastructure, observability and cloud platform engineering.


• Actively use, explore and improve AI tools and workflows to help us build our platform landscape in a smarter, more efficient and future\-ready way.


• Take part in our on\-call rotation to keep our business\-critical platform stable and reliable.

Skills \& Requirements

• Professional experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and container technologies, especially Kubernetes and EKS.


• Hands\-on experience with Infrastructure as Code \- ideally Terraform and Terragrunt feel like a natural part of your workflow.


• Experience with modern observability tools and concepts, plus a strong interest in secure, reliable and cost\-optimized cloud solutions.


• AI competency: you are comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor AI or similar tools to improve your productivity and engineering workflows.


• You take ownership and independently drive topics forward.


• You enjoy tackling challenges actively and solving them pragmatically.

• Experience with cloud\-native platform technologies, including observability, Kubernetes ecosystem components, CI/CD and deployment automation.


• Programming skills in Go, TypeScript or similar languages, combined with curiosity for emerging technologies and a continuous learning mindset.
