We are looking for a highly skilled Senior DevOps & Platform Engineer to join the Product Development: SW & System Integration organization in Kraków. In this role, you will shift the paradigm from traditional infrastructure maintenance to modern Platform Engineering. Your mission is to treat our internal developer platform as a product, building, maintaining, and scaling internal tools that accelerate software delivery and maximize developer velocity. As a senior technical leader, you will own the DevOps & CI/CD infrastructure and process for both host and target environments. You will drive the deep automation of processes and provide comprehensive support in deployment architectures across the Short Range Product Development organization. Acting as technical interface between Engineering and IT, you will streamline automated workflows, resource provisioning, and system architecture. Your scope also extends into cutting-edge domains, including providing MLOps infrastructure support for our AI initiatives, managing release & SW delivery support operations, and establishing comprehensive engineering metrics & dashboards to drive data-informed decisions.
Key responsibilities
Architect, scale, and maintain modern DevOps & CI/CD infrastructure & process (host & target) utilizing GitOps principles and pipeline-as-code methodologies.

Act as the primary technical interface between Engineering and IT, translating software delivery requirements into scalable infrastructure solutions.
Design and support MLOps infrastructure pipelines to enable AI-assisted development and machine learning workflows.
Develop and maintain engineering metrics & dashboards to provide deep observability into CI/CD performance, system health, and developer productivity.
