Role

Who you are

5 + years professional experience in backend, dev-ops or platform roles, with deep IaC & pipeline expertise
Proven track record with Terraform (or Pulumi, CDK) and container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS)
Hands-on experience designing CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar
Observability chops: you’ve instrumented services with OpenTelemetry and built dashboards/alerts that engineers actually use
Solid scripting/coding skills, bonus points if you have experience with Ruby
Familiarity with test-automation frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, JUnit, etc.) and how to run them efficiently in CI
A product mindset: you treat the internal platform as something you own, document and iterate on with your users (our developers)

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer who will own the automation and developer experience of the Appical product: Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, end-to-end observability, internal developer tooling, and the test-automation suite that keeps quality high
You’ll collaborate closely with Backend, Frontend, Product, and QA to remove friction from the dev-loop and ensure every change can travel from commit to production (and back) in minutes instead of hours
Your work will impact hundreds of thousands of users worldwide every time we deploy
In this role, you'll be joining the Product & Development team
A team led by Gijs Hendrix
Designing, improving, and maintaining our (Terraform) IaC foundations in AWS
Creating and scaling CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI) that support multiple deploys per day
Implementing, instrumenting and evolving our observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) for metrics, traces and logs across all services
Partnering with QA to embed automated integration, contract and E2E tests into the pipeline
Monitoring - and continually reducing - lead time, MTTR, and flaky-test rates
Championing DevEx: measuring and improving developer happiness, feedback loops and platform usability
Aligning closely with the Director of Product & Development on technical strategy and roadmap
Proposing and implementing process improvements that keep us fast, safe and compliant
You’ll collaborate daily with engineers, product owners and QA to achieve the best results. Constructive feedback and continuous learning keep us sharp

Our take

Appical is an onboarding platform supporting employees through all phases of the employment process. It empowers users to create the best possible employee onboarding experiences through how-to videos, gamification, quizzes, to-do lists, and documentation.

A leader in onboarding tech, the company is both digitising and simplifying the process. It has served hundreds of customers in over 140 countries, including the like of PepsiCo, HP, Heineken, Hello Fresh and Bosch.

In 2022, Appical was acquired by Visma, a Norwegian company providing business software and services for accounting and administration. With Visma's products being complimentary to Appical's platform, the two companies are in a position of great value within the European market.
