At Mindera, we believe that software is built by people, for people, with high-performance systems that impact users worldwide.

We are looking for a Senior Cloud/Platform Engineer with a strong Software Engineering foundation to join an agile team building modern infrastructure and an innovative agentic AI platform.

Our core philosophy is simple: Developers first, then Cloud. We want someone who truly understands software development, clean code and engineering best practices, who has transitioned into (or naturally evolved towards) Cloud Infrastructure, Automation, and Platform Engineering.

The work will focus primarily on using AWS services with delivery through Terraform and automation in Node.js or Python.

The focus will be on our developer platform that our engineering community is using on a day to day basis to deliver and operate hundreds of services on EC2, ECS and Lambda. Some engagement will also support the team to deliver the new agentic platform currently being built with AWS Bedrock AgentCore technology.

We value empathy, self-organization and a positive attitude. If you are approachable, communicate clearly and believe that team fit is just as important as technical prowess, you'll feel right at home here.

At Mindera we encourage the use of AI to assist with coding and related tasks. We find a persons skill in engineering and software craft, has a big impact long term successful delivery, with or without AI. Our goal in the interview process is to understand the candidates knowledge and skill with engineering. If you need to, or plan to use AI, please be transparent with us when you're using it, to avoid issues and misunderstandings that can either: impact your chance of securing the role or impact your success at Mindera.

When you join Mindera we welcome you into a fun and politics-free work culture, built on the principles of lean and self-organisation.

Note: Depending on the project and our clients' needs, you may get the chance to pack your bags and take off every now and then. Typically, we estimate travel time to be between 0% and 15%.

HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT:

• Deliver improvement to our engineering platforms.
• Implement infrastructure changes using Terraform following existing module patterns.
• Contribute to services written in Node or Python and automation scripts.
• Collaborate with the tech lead and delivery manager to achieve defined milestones.
• Test, validate, and deploy changes through CI/CD pipelines.
• Provide clear delivery updates and proactively highlight blockers or risks.

Requirements

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Several years of professional experience as a software engineer, writing code with either Python, Node.js, C# or other programming languages.
• Solid foundations, experience with unit testing and knowledge of best practices. The programming language is not important, as long as you know how to code and can adapt. Hands-on coding experience is required — not just basic scripting. (We are using Python and Node)
• Strong knowledge of software engineering best practices, writing clean, maintainable and testable code.
• Excellent understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions).
• Strong experience with AWS (with services such as ECS/EKS, Lambda, Cloudfront, IAM, S3 etc...) following operational and security best practices.
• Proven delivery experience with Terraform.
• Experience leveraging AI tooling in day-to-day work for coding, code review, research and productivity enhancement.
• Active user of AI tooling for daily development, research and productivity — with a genuine curiosity about the AI/agentic space.
• Strong ability to quickly learn and effectively apply new technologies.
• Track record of delivering results within agile, delivery-focused teams.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Fluency in English.

We'd love to get to know you better!
