Senior Platform Engineer

Would you like to take ownership of kick-starting Skatteguiden's AKS platform?

From day one, you will take ownership of a substantial and business-critical project: building

Skatteguiden's new production platform on Azure Kubernetes Service from the ground up.

It's a rare opportunity to design a production environment from scratch and make

architectural decisions that will shape how the platform is built and operated for years to

come.

The platform has grown. The infrastructure that keeps Skatteguiden running has reached a

scale and complexity that deserves full-time, specialist ownership, and the work ahead

makes this an unusually good time to join.

About the role

You will be joining the Operational Platform team, the team responsible for everything that

isn´t the product itself: the infrastructure, the developer platform, and the systems that keep

Skatteguiden running reliably at scale.

The team treats the platform as a product, with engineers distributed across several

product teams as their users. They ship to production every day, and the platform is what

makes that possible.

What you´ll do

Migrate the infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. Moving from bare-metal Kubernetes to

AKS, designing and building the entire new infrastructure as code from scratch

using Terraform

Build and operate the production environment. Kubernetes cluster administration,

upgrades, network policies, RBAC, and the systems that keep the platform stable

and reliable

Integrate security into the platform. Work with Head of Security & Privacy to

translate security requirements into technical controls; security as a built-in

property, not an afterthought

Improve developer experience. Maintain and develop CI/CD pipelines and GitOps

workflows (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD) so the path from code to production is fast,

reliable, and transparent

Run the observability platform. Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, and Sentry, making it

effortless for teams to instrument their code without manual setup; and setting up

the on-call tooling that connects alerts to the right people

Enable engineers to use AI effectively. Identify, build, and maintain the tooling and

infrastructure that puts AI assistance within reach of every engineer on the team;

this includes sandboxed execution environments, MCP servers, and whatever the

space demands next

Manage infrastructure costs. Clear visibility into cloud spends and a bias toward

reducing waste without compromising reliability or developer experience

Who we´re looking for

Youre likely a senior platform, infrastructure, or site reliability engineer who's run

production Kubernetes at scale and sees the platform not just as infrastructure to operate

but as a product whose users are the engineers who ship Skatteguiden every day. If

you´ve done parts of this and want to take on the breadth, we´d like to hear from you.

Must-have

Solid hands-on experience running and managing AKS in production, including

Azure Networking, Azure Key Vault, and Entra Workload Identity

Broad Azure experience. You know your way around the platform. The services,

how they connect, and how access and permissions work. The team will be the

internal reference point for Azure architecture and design decisions, so a solid,

broad understanding of what´s possible and how to apply it matters

Working knowledge of Linux and networking. You´re comfortable debugging at the

system and network level

Hands-on experience with IaC, managing CI/CD pipelines, managing a production

observability stack, and building internal tooling with software engineering discipline

Security, privacy, and compliance awareness. You design and implement with

security, GDPR, and frameworks like ISO 27001 in mind, and you have hands-on

experience applying controls across infrastructure, cloud environments, and

developer tooling

Genuine enthusiasm for AI. You use it daily and you´re always looking for new ways

to apply it

Nice-to-have

A "platform as a product" mindset. Experience thinking about developer experience

as a product discipline, not just an operational concern

Prior experience planning and executing a hosting or infrastructure migration

Familiarity with the current stack: ArgoCD, Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry, and

GitHub

Familiarity with Cloudflare, including DNS, CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, and

Workers

Why join Skatteguiden

You´ll join a small, highly skilled engineering team with a high degree of autonomy, where

your work has real impact. Technical excellence is taken seriously, with a strong focus on

security, architecture and keeping technical debt under control. The product itself is

equally meaningful, as more than one million Danes rely on Skatteguiden every year.

Skatteguiden is an independent, profitable and growing company with a clear mission and

no unnecessary bureaucracy. The team embraces AI across the business and

continuously looks for new ways to work smarter, making it an exciting environment for

engineers who enjoy adopting new technologies and improving the way they work.

Just as importantly, you´ll be joining a team of genuinely good people. The culture is

professional, collaborative and informal. People care deeply about building great

technology, while maintaining a down-to-earth atmosphere where everyone enjoys

working together.
