Platform Engineer
At Instabee we’re revolutionizing last-mile deliveries by offering smooth and effortless shipping to consumers. We currently operate three consumer-facing brands: Instabox, Porterbuddy and Budbee, and are present in six European countries.
As a member of the Platform team, you’ll be a key player in designing and building the platform that empowers our engineering teams to effortlessly build, deploy and operate their services.
We're not about "one size fits all" – we provide the tools and golden paths while encouraging autonomy and ownership.
What you’ll do:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure solutions on GCP.
- Develop and manage internal tools/services, from authentication to observability and security.
- Build custom solutions where off-the-shelf tools don’t fit our needs.
- Champion key platform components like Kubernetes (GKE), observability tools (LGTM stack), and CI/CD (GitHub Actions).
- Collaborate with engineers to optimize performance and ensure seamless deployments.
- Enhance security by implementing and promoting best practices.
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years in backend or platform engineering.
- Strong programming skills (we mainly use Go) and knowledge of modern architectures.
- Significant experience with public cloud platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure).
- Proficiency with Kubernetes and modern observability tools (e.g., Loki, Grafana, Mimir, Tempo).
- Solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code (we use Terraform).
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines (we use GitHub Actions).
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
- Passion for creating top-notch tools for developers.
Don’t tick all the boxes? No worries! We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything - but you must bring a keen interest and willingness to learn.
What we offer (Norway):
- Be part of a skilled, autonomous team split between Oslo and Stockholm.
- Newly renovated Oslo office.
- Catered lunches and social activities.
- Pension scheme and health insurance.
- Great work-life balance.
- Work with cutting-edge technology every day.
What we offer (Sweden):
- Be part of a skilled, autonomous team split between Oslo and Stockholm.
- Modern tech and great work-life balance.
- Stunning Stockholm office with a rooftop bar.
- Dog-friendly, fun games, and a karaoke room.
- Parental pay (6 months) and birthday leave.
- Great work-life balance.
- Work with cutting-edge technology every day.
Diversity and inclusion is very important to us and we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment. We want to be a workplace where everyone’s perspectives and opinions are valued, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for all employees to thrive and reach their full potential.
