Platform Engineer Luxembourg

We’re Littlepay – a growing fintech headquartered in Melbourne with operations in the UK, EU, LATAM, USA, and Australia. Our payments platform enables our customers to pay for public transport using any payment card, mobile wallet, or wearable device. Processing over USD 1 billion a year in 19 countries and continuing to expand globally, we’re proud to move more people through better payment experiences.

The Littlepay Platform Team is both an internal enablement team responsible for build systems and developer experience, and the on‑call owners of shared and fundamental production infrastructure. You’ll be working closely with both the Australian‑based Platform Engineering team and the local Software Engineering team on build systems, production support, and PCI‑compliant infrastructure. Reporting to the Lead Platform Engineer, you’ll support Dev Ops practices through tooling, vendor management and support, and you’ll also be on call for our core infrastructure across the platform, including networking, ECS runtime, PKI and RDS.

This role calls for a Dev Ops enthusiast who can use their experience to:

• drive improvement of Dev Ops practices across engineering, through tooling, workshops, pairing, presentations, etc.
• maintain and improve build systems to the level of security required in a PCI environment
• support standard Dev Ops tooling across the business
• build and maintain robust automated systems

You’ll also be required to:

• write and maintain internal tools and services
• support the Littlepay engineering function
• do some grinding from time to time

• Programming and scripting – any language. Familiarity with Go, Bash and Java preferred; our primary team language is Go.
• Communication – we do a lot of communicating and strong written and verbal skills will be important.
• Empathy – we’re a service provider, so having high empathy for our internal stakeholders is a big deal.
• A love of learning – we take learning and growth seriously and you’ll need to be down with that.
• Dev Ops – releasing software is your jam; you know what a DORA metric is and how to use it to improve processes.
• The cloud – we use AWS, but the key here is experience with fundamental cloud services: network, storage, compute.

Experience with one or more of the following areas would also be highly regarded:

• Dev Sec Ops
• Observability
• Authentication and authorisation
• PKI
• Relational databases

At Littlepay, you'll be part of an inclusive and diverse team that celebrates the differences and unique gifts we each bring to work.

• A high‑trust working environment, with access to cloud collaboration tools like Notion, Slack, Miro, Google Workspace, and Jira.
• Harrison Assessments – our talent management provider that facilitates continuous professional development.
• A variety of flexible leave options.
• A company‑wide paid day off.
• Our generous employee referral programme.
• Wellbeing support – including a free School of Life subscription for all employees.
• Mid‑year, quarterly and end‑of‑year corporate and team events and workshops.
• Short‑term remote working arrangements.
• International travel opportunities (dependent on role).

At Littlepay, we believe great work happens when we solve problems, together. We see in‑person collaboration as an important way to build connections, share ideas and support each other meaningfully.

For those assigned to an office location, we generally expect a minimum two‑day presence in the office each week. This may vary depending on your role, team and location. For example, our team in Luxembourg works 4 days from the office, whereas our AU and UK teams currently work a minimum of 2 days onsite in our Melbourne/London offices. Some positions might require more frequent office attendance to support cross‑functional collaboration, customer engagement or specific team workflows.

Your hiring manager will provide details relevant to your role.

We aim to strike a healthy balance between in‑person connection and flexibility, while staying connected to deliver with speed and agility as we continue to scale. Our ways of working support…
