Platform Engineer

Our Team

We believe travel can create citizens of the world. We spark moments of connection and transformation, giving people the freedom to explore openly and shape their own story.

With colleagues from more than 50 countries, our diversity sparks curiosity, insight, and a culture of openness, essential to understanding our travellers and one another.

We work in a flexible hybrid model from our Utrecht HQ and our homes across the Netherlands.

Just as travel is about discovery, we’re looking for people who want to go one stop further, joining a journey that inspires personal transformation through train travel.

…a Platform Engineer who can go One Stop Further by helping us build and evolve a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly platform that enables our product teams to deliver great travel experiences faster and more reliably.

You’ll play an important role in enhancing our cloud platform, improving automation, embedding security into engineering practices, and enabling product teams to focus on delivering customer value rather than managing infrastructure complexity.

Also, it's good to know that the team has agreed to meet in the office for at least 2 days; you will be expected to be in the office on those days to work side by side with your colleagues.

You’ll be joining the Platform team – the team responsible for building and maintaining the technology foundations that support our product teams.

The platform team enables engineering teams through automation, infrastructure standards, security integration, and developer self-service capabilities.

You will report to the Head of IT – Platform and collaborate closely with architects, product teams, QA, and security specialists.

You’ll be involved in designing and improving our cloud platform, enabling secure and efficient software delivery, and improving the developer experience across our engineering organisation.
