Platform Engineer - Cloud Compute

Providing the compute infrastructure that powers bol

Team Cloud Compute is responsible for providing the compute and shared infrastructure for bol. Our customers are different than you might expect; we provide tools and services to our internal application engineers and not to the bol. retailer customers. The team provides compute infrastructure for bol. application teams in a variety of environments in the public cloud (GCP).

Our goal is to provide compute infrastructure that is highly available and highly scalable.

We refer to our products as our OPEX (Operational Excellence). Our primary product offering is compute infrastructure in public cloud (GCP). The team provides building blocks like managed Kubernetes, storage solutions, for our 1000+ software engineer colleagues. The team works to secure and innovate these products, providing new functionality and keeping the platform up to date to meet our business needs.

is our biggest compute offering, allowing software engineer teams to deploy their applications in a self-service way while our deployment tooling provides them with the means to do this in a secure and compliance method.

that gives our users a way to store, manage, and access sensitive data (API keys, passwords, and certificates) with enhanced security, versioning, and audit logging, enforcing security and compliance policies at admission time in Kubernetes, reducing risk and operational overhead.

• CICD: Gitlab
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Puppet, Google Config Connector
• Git Ops: ArgoCD
• Containerization & Orchestration: Kubernetes (GKE), Helm, Kustomization, Docker
• AI Tools: Gemini/Claude Code
• Datacenters/Cloud: GCP & some on-prem RHEL servers
• Observability & Monitoring: Prometheus, Alert Manager, Thanos, Grafana, ELK, Nagios.
• Programming: Python/Go

You’ll be joining a team of 5 platform engineers, a group product manager, and an engineering manager. Our team has a wealth of experience when it comes to building and maintaining infrastructure. It’s in the critical path for many things at bol., which means that the team has high standards for quality and attention to detail. This team brings a lot of industry experience and an automation‑first mindset that eliminates repetitive work while fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange.

Improve the approach to Kubernetes cluster management. Bol. is a fast‑growing company, and we encourage development teams to innovate. To meet the demand for infrastructure we need to innovate the platform, keeping it scalable and secure.

Maintain operational stability: joining the standby shift, providing L2 support, updating versions of components, participating in post‑mortems.

Support the needs of internal application developers. They expect highly available, scalable, ease of use and cost‑effective compute infrastructure.

Collaborate with other platform teams to build feature products. Our cloud infrastructure landscape is complex. Innovation by a team often requires support by the others. You will support topics driven by those teams as well.

• Build the core compute platform that powers thousands of workloads across , enabling developers to ship features quickly and reliably.
• Deliver scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes and modern cloud‑native technologies.
• Create a seamless developer experience by providing intuitive deployment, runtime, and observability capabilities used daily by dozens of engineering teams.
• Solve complex distributed‑systems challenges at massive e‑commerce scale
  , ensuring stability, performance, and zero‑downtime operations.
• Drive innovation in compute capabilities
  , from new workload types to smarter autoscaling and improved platform resilience.

• Operating at scale Our team is responsible for ensuring the continuity, availability and performance of the foundational parts of hundreds of applications. This role is for you if you have…
