Through PlatformEngineering.org and PlatformCon, we're seeing rapid global adoption of IDPs—and we’re growing our Customer Success Engineering team to meet this demand.

The Role

As a Platform Engineer, you'll be the go-to expert for organizations transitioning from DevOps to platform engineering. You'll work hands-on with leading cloud-native technologies, helping customers design, implement, and optimize their IDPs using Humanitec and other cutting-edge tools.

In this role, you will:

• Provide technical guidance and best practices tailored to customer stacks.

• Present findings, lead technical discussions, and coordinate action plans.

• Collaborate with internal teams to improve Humanitec’s products.

• Represent Humanitec at industry events, conferences, and community meetups.

This is a remote-first role with a global scope, primarily supporting customers across Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in Platform, Cloud, Infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps engineering.

• Deep expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure); certifications are a plus.

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes deployment, management, and debugging.

• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi).

• Familiarity with cloud-native tools (CI/CD, observability, networking, security).

• Excellent customer-facing and communication skills.

• Timezone: UTC +2 to UTC +6 (EMEA focus, Oceania support).

• Willingness to travel occasionally.
